Godly Sorrow Brings Repentance :: Quietly Through Thursday Link-up #15

“Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance.

See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, […]

Will You Go to Heaven?

May 6, 2014 No Comments

Will You Go to Heaven? I remember a period in my life, a very long period in fact, where I could not honestly answer that question. I thought the answer was no, I was not going to heaven.
