    The Gambler

    For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36 Rolling the dice and skating on thin ice. Blowing like a tumbleweed, tossed about in the wind, playing the face card just to take it on the chin. They say fortune favors the bold Are you willing…

    Prisoners of Sin

  • Soiled Eyes

    Soiled Eyes

    But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts].
