What is Death?
(Copyright 08-30-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, Even when we face sickness and death, God is aware of our plight, and if we maintain godly faith, we are safely in his hands.

Death
by William P. Goff (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) Now there are many churches out there in the world today, but only one true church. That church is defined as: “The Pillar and Ground of the Truth” (1Timothy 3:15.) If we want to find that church, we have to find the Truth, because Truth and Church go hand in hand.
