  • Mike, Thanks for the information on Paul being willing to leave. I understand that when we are dead, back to dust we go. However, what about our spirit?

  • Hi Mike, How are you doing? A friend was asking me about the scripture that says 'What will you give in exchange for your soul that you may gain the whole world and still lose your soul.
