Cole Sear: I see dead people.

Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams?
[Cole shakes his head no]

In order to biblically

Perhaps this morning, you need to
pray a prayer like this:

Lord, I confess that I am a sinner. I

recognize that I can do nothing to save
myself from an eternity in hell.
Thank you for dying on the Cross for my
sins.

I repent of my sins and now trust in you

(Jesus Christ) to be my Savior and the
Lord of my life, and hereby commit my
life to you for all eternity.
