Life is full of chases but to lose one's soul is never worth it. It's also important to value one's soul and attach it to God not music, food or people.
We have to really get into the Bible to start to understand what areas the local church misses the arc on salvation Jesus, free will, repentance, god is a gentleman we are not robots etc...It seems they are lock step in toto. Yet Does A Child Repent? No ! Yet He Can Be Saved ! Similarly...
The Bible is preslandered today, so that means even before we read it for ourselves which we never will do in most likelihood it is filtered in our mind as bad news but its actually good news.
