    Do you know someone whom you would rather not see become a Christian because, frankly, you don't like him or her very well? You might not verbalize it, but maybe you think that way.

  • The Fountain of Youth?

    Will we live forever? The answer is "yes" and "no." Will our bodies live forever? No. Will our bodies cease to exist at one point? Absolutely. But the soul is immortal. Each one of us has a soul.
