Thank you for all your time and care you put into making your videos.
As you are giving to others, I want to give back with a true blessing. Everywhere we look we see division, anger, hate, and pure wickedness. In the word of God, the Bible we are told:
2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
True Salvation, peace and Joy is only through Jesus and accepting his free gift of salvation. Our time here is over in a blink of an eye, eternity is forever.
Jesus paid it all and he will be take care of all the things that are heavy on our shoulders.
In Mark 16:15 he commands us too "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature".
