The Next Five Minutes

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Jan 3, 2012

If you were offered 5 million dollars for the next 5 minutes of your life, with no holds barred, would you make the deal? How much more should we live in the light of Eternity when our life on earth is but the blink of an eye.

We are going to set up the title of this message by going through a scenario. Imagine with me that there is a knock at the door, we go over to it, open it up, and in walks a man with a beautiful Armani suit, a fedora hat, and big smile on. “I have great news for you,” he says. ...read more

Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Jan 16, 2012
