From the outside looking in, it may seem restricted and boring. It may seem stupid and foolish. Indeed, Jesus said whoever wishes to save his life will lose it (Luke 9:24). Losing one's life doesn't carry much appeal to the culture around us. Yet the path of the gospel is a path of death. A Christian is dead to sin (Romans 6:6-7). Christ himself took this path. He laid down his life for the sake of you and I.]]></description><link>https://www.clingtochrist.com/post/hope-of-heaven</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5ffaa641-5334-4704-9479-53f340962a35</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Oct 2026 02:34:59 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_7939122953944745b1b20642812ecaa4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>D.V.Rider</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is Man?]]></title><description><![CDATA[When we look up, up to the midnight sky, we are but peeking into a small pin hole of vast wonders.

He warns of utter ruin like a house in a storm. ]]></description><link>https://www.clingtochrist.com/post/beautiful-commandments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">132b3ed4-72a2-46f4-81bf-32f92defd9bc</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2026 13:16:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/73a750_596046c1f778431897e947f94d0d8b2c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_400,h_267,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>D.V.Rider</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Preexistent One]]></title><description><![CDATA[Many scientists speak of the beginning of all things.
