Have you ever had someone catch your eye, and then you meet them? This happened to Boaz, a wealthy landowner when he saw Ruth working in the fields, gleaning grain for her and her mother-in-law.

The book of Ruth is an incredible story of loss, struggle, faithfulness, love, and redemption. The principles at work in this event point to Jesus as our kinsman redeemer, portrayed by Boaz.

What happens to the Christian soul at death? The Bible is clear about this subject, however much speculation floats around about it, and even false teaching.

Deliver me. In my experience, the greatest need we have is from mental bondage. First off we are in bondage to ignorance before we discover GOD's forgiveness. We don't know we need deliverance from the penalty of inbred sin. And then, after we ask GOD to forgive us based on Jesus's death on the cross for our sins, we are held captive by other forms…

Spiritual sleep is damaging, first to those whose eternal destination is other than with GOD. In Heaven. And second, spiritual sleep is damaging to a Christian's life. This is because eternal rewards hang in the balance, unclaimed by a deadened heart. Jesus died to give us life, not sleep in the spiritual sense. Show notes on hopesharbor.net…
