Re-thinking what is most important has given me a renewed passion for helping share the gospel. I was up for hours Saturday night thinking about what I would change if I knew Jesus was coming back in the very near future. As I consider where I am going to spend my time during the next week, month, and year, I have realized that I cannot continue to blog at all if I am not going to reach out to Continue Reading >>
What if you knew that Jesus was coming back in six months?
What would you do differently? This thought occurred to me tonight as I flipped through Facebook reading the status' of those buzzing about a new book called Four Blood Moons.
