When I was young, my sister Kathy sent me a card that had this poem: “‘Tis only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
I received a very shocking email last weekend about a girl called Angelica from Ecuador, who died and was shown hell and heaven by Jesus. In hell she saw two of the singers mentioned on this page. If you want to check it out, go to: “Divine Revelations, Ecuador, Angelica.” It has shaken me up to realize how high a standard that God requires.
Singers who died before their time – Taken too soon
There are so many singers who have died before their time. Some have sold millions of albums, but I have never even heard of them. You can check out this website for some of the people that I am not familiar with.
Woman commits suicide and goes to hell and heaven
Someone sent me this by email, and I found it so interesting, that I felt I must share it with you.
With Donna Summer dying this week, it is a very big shock to me. I am now 66 (2012) and most of these people never lived as long as me. They were so successful and probably very rich, yet their lives were cut short. What will their destiny be? I don’t know. Only God knows. But if you want to be saved, you need to receive Jesus Christ as your saviour. Ask him to forgive your sins, and come into your heart. I have a picture story on another website about a girl who gave her heart to the Lord. If you want to see it, it is at the end of the Elvis Gospel section.
I also have a Gospel web site. If you want to check it out, go to: http://countrygospelandbible.com/
