A message about God speaking to each of us and asking what if we were to know that this was to be our last Christmas, and would it change our thinking and attitude.

Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more
