Most religious people, Christians and non-Christians alike, believe in the immortality of the soul. What does the Bible say about this question? Do people have souls, or are they souls? Are there dead souls? Can a soul die? Why does the Bible speak about the resurrection of the dead, if the dead are not really dead, but keep on living after death as “immortal souls”? What is death? And what is hell, in which God can destroy body and soul?

Motivation
How are we doing in our spiritual lives to get us motivated? What can we do to keep us going as we run our race to perfection?

In everything they are one. We must have individual unity with God and collective unity with fellow Christians. We must all have love for each other and show kindness in all examples. We have to have unity so that we can make it into God’s Kingdom.
Walk Worthy
Be cautious not to be deceived, especially by ourselves, which leads us to sin and causes us to turn away from God.
Growth in the Church – Feast Sermon 2016
If we want to grow, we must be faithful in the small things; we must help the little ones; and we must not despise the day of small beginnings.
