Grace - A Testimony of Forgiveness
“This is Soweto, Johannesburg, where we live. My earliest memories are of my family, how we made music and how my husband preached and talked to the people. My husband was pastor Benjamin Dube, together we sang and preached. Our music witnessed to the people, and the message was that Jesus is the way to real freedom and that we have to repent and forgive. There were other voices too, those days. The Moderates wanted to negotiate, but angry voices were shouting for blood in the war. Many of our people were confused, as violence grew and people died. There was a great desire for peace and end of the struggle. We wanted to share our joy with the people, the joy and the deep peace that only Jesus can give. We all sang and the music was life, bread of life was scattered everywhere in the township. The people loved our music and they came and they listened to my husband preaching. “My husband was very busy and there were many places where we performed. We would go out in the streets and evangelise the gangsters. We never could guess how our lives would change soon afterwards ... “The men who killed my husband were gangsters, they were afraid because too many members of the gang came to know the Lord through Dube’s ministry. “I will always remember Dube’s words, and especially the statement that he will give his life if he has to. But there will be no compromise in presenting Jesus Christ as the total answer to our problems ... “Alfred had the guts to say he was one of the murderers. He looked his sins right in the eyes and new that he badly needed forgiveness. Do you have the guts that murderer had to confess your sins that will bring you out of the darkness into the wonderful light of the love of Jesus? Alfred, the ex-murderer is a happy man today. He knows his Maker in a personal way, so Dube’s dead saved at least one life. I am Grace Dube, and this is my story.”
Grace of God, plus Light
These are two short scripts. The grace of God in Christ provided the sacrifice for sin and saves us by His blood. Accept the free grace of God, confess your sins, and be saved. God created light, but Adam and Eve sinned and darkness entered their hearts. Every person born has a sinful nature. Jesus Christ said, "I am the light of the world." He can take the darkness from our lives. He died in the place of sinful men and women. Ask Him to give you the Light of Life.

Questions answered about Christ's return, mostly by direct Scripture quotes. When will the world end? Why will Christ come? How will Christ reward His followers? How to be ready for His coming.
The Second Coming of Jesus
Is the second coming of Jesus just a dream? No, it is the greatest hope of this unenduring world.

When Jesus comes, will He find faith on the earth? Will He find faith in your heart?

There are conditions to God hearing prayer. God doesn't hear prayer if there is sin in one's heart. There must be repentance. We must pray with faith.

Example of God hearing prayer: William McDougall was rescued from a sunken Dutch ship when he prayed that the rescue boat's sail would fall, until he had time to swim to the boat.
