Seeker Sensitive?

Romans 2:16 “God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.” Revelation 19:12 “His eyes are like a flame of fire.” So how long do you expect to live? I suspect your age may influence your answer to this question. It seems the younger one is, the more likely they…
