Lesson 163 Laurie’s Reflections
Friday, June 12, 2015 Lesson 163: “There is no death. The Son of God is free.” To hear that there is no death certainly sounds like insanity. This seems impossible and blasphemous. A lot of us almost worship death as an idol. We get attached certainly to believing it...
