Edith Waugh, Death, and Maranatha

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 9, 2021 by Steve DurkacAugust 7, 2022avatar

Appointed Time to Die?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 31, 2016 by Steve DurkacJuly 31, 2016avatar

Today at church we discussed the old adage that goes “When it’s your turn to go, it’s your turn to go” (or something to that effect). I had mentioned that I would look up some verses that would seem to concur with this thought, because I couldn’t pull out of my memory and the clock was running out on us, but here are a few that I was thinking of… • “And as it is … Continue reading →
