Are Heaven and Hell Real?
Ian McCormack was night diving off the island of Mauritius when he was stung multiple times by Box Jellyfish, which are among the most venomous creatures in the world.

Messages on the Kingdom of God, by Derek Brown
To me the Kingdom of God has been a revelation. While I have been a Christian and a church leader for many years it is only in recent years that I have been confronted with the dynamic message of the Kingdom of God. I have come to see that our faith is relevant to all of life and that we have the responsibility and the privilege of seeing the prayer of Jesus fulfilled - thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven (click the link above for expansion on this revelation).
