We can speak in tongues and miss heaven. We can "win souls" and miss heaven. We can see vision and miss heaven. We can prophesy and still miss heaven. We can cast out devil and miss heaven. We can perform miracles and still miss heaven. We can read the whole Bible and miss heaven. We can attend all church services, fellowship activities and camp meetings and miss heaven. We can have anointing and miss heaven. We can have all spiritual gifts and miss heaven. We can be rich, prosperous and wealthy and still miss heaven. We can give and sow seeds and still miss heaven. We can wield power and be influential and still miss heaven. We can have a powerful voice to sing and miss heaven. But we cannot LIVE A HOLY LIFE and miss heaven. HOLINESS IS THE REAL DEAL! *"Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God." (Leviticus 20:7)* *"O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth." (Psalm 96:9)* *"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14)* Forwarding this is Evangelism. Let us win a soul for Christ. Amen! 18 Likes 5 Shares |

To the people who want to see more pictures, you will be disappointed. The wild life photos will be of lean lions, elephants and such, and that's just not picture worthy. Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe and SA really tried with their reserves. Our own is just an alternative hunting ground. 1 Like |
