Living on the Very Brink of Eternity
Saturday, July 26th, 2008 : By Hugh Williams
It is no security to a natural man, that he is now in health, and that he does not see which way he should now immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is no visible danger in any respect in his circumstances. The manifold and continual experience of the world in all ages, shows this is no evidence, that a man is not on the very brink of eternity, and that the next step will not be into another world.

Incredible & Impossible
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 : By Dan Miller
Have you ever thought about how incredible the idea of a person rising from the dead? How you ever thought of the impossibility of this kind of belief? Well, you wouldn’t be the first. Throughout history the resurrection of Christ has met with every response possible ranging from sneers to apathy to those that embrace the belief that Jesus did rise from the dead and lives on. We see this spectrum of opinion in Acts 17:32-33, when it says that “when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, ‘We will hear you again about this.’ But some men joined him and believed…”
Today we will follow the pen of the
