    God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

Some died at the hands of an evil man and others died because of a construction accident. Now, you may have noticed on ...read more
