I See Dead People.
A study on the practice of love in the church. James 2 James the brother of the Lord Jesus saw walking dead men, declaring complete faith and confidence in the life giving Son of God.

POWERFUL RESISTANCE ON THE BATTLE FIELD, 2Tim.1
“Share in afflictions? According to the POWER OF GOD”???Isn’t that a contradiction? Doesn’t the WEAK one experience the pain, and the POWERFUL experience victory, and peace?
