Once I witnessed to a man promoting hunger awareness. This man didn’t believe in the existence of heaven or hell. Therefore, he thought feeding the hungry was more important than preaching the gospel.

No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Yet multitudes believe that they will be okay for eternity traveling down paths of their own making. Last night, I stoppe...
