Certainly, you should not dismiss these two methods. The price-wars can work to your advantage. But ...

Ecclesiastes 3.1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time
to every purpose under the Heaven."
I had an old Pontiac that the Lord gave me in answer to prayer.

car and the old man who sold it to us was glad to get rid of it.
One thousand dollars let me drive it away. Shortly, the motor
went bad and had to be replaced. This gave me an opportunity to
talk to a man about ...

As an artist (photography not music) I often find it hard to get enough people wrangled up to view my images online, so I can only imagine how hard this is for other people as well.

At the moment of salvation when we accept Jesus as our personal
Lord and Savior, three most amazing things will happen. The
first is that we get automatic forgiveness for all of our sins -

to heaven when we die and cross over because we have now become
saved and born again.
However, there is a third thing that will occur that some
