Blessed Lord’s day
You will not read anything better on the internet this week.
The closer I get to death, the more urgently I feel the need to share the love of God and the saving grace that comes from Jesus Christ, the Son of God and my personal Lord and Savior. I’m getting very close to the end of a battle that I have fought my whole life. I have lost…
