Looking Forward to Our Discussion

Bishop Bill
What a great word Bishop!
1 it is definitely a life full of self, my wants and desire. . . A bunch of no I can handle it! It is the attitude of what about me. .

1. What kind of life do you have before death?
The kind of life you have before death is a life of trying to “live your best life now” on your own without God.

1. What kind of life do you have before death?
You exist, and you will only exist for yourself unless you learn what it means to die to selfish desires and find the zoe kind of life. The existing kind of life only produces the fruit of the flesh, but if you die like the kernel of wheat you can bring forth the fruit of the spirit which is the evidence of the zoe kind of life.
2. What kind of life do you have after death?

1. What kind of life do you have before death?
-Everything is bland. Wandering around aimlessly trying to fulfill that "missing" thing that you just can't pinpoint, never fully feeling satisfied, causing you to only be thinking about yourself because you're trying so hard to find "happiness". A lack of mindfulness.
2. What kind of life do you have after death?
-Eternal life. The question that comes to mind is Where am I storing up treasure? Heaven or in carnal things. Wherever I am storing up treasure makes it clear where my heart is. It will be seen in our eternal life after death.
3. What kind of life do you have after death to self?
-You become a Life…
