Bob Pellien, Minister of the Gospel here in the
Iglesia Ni Cristo, the Church Of Christ, and welcome to this live taping of
That’s In The Bible. Thank you for being our live studio audience. We just want to thank you for not only just being here today but for helping us reach out to the world and making them know the Church Of Christ and the teachings of God we embrace inside the Church Of Christ from here in the
Holy Scriptures.
Here in the program That’s In The Bible, we receive
questions on just about every topic imaginable from, well, pretty much all parts of the globe. And we always turn here to the
Holy Bible for the answers to any and all of the questions that we receive, as we will be doing together this afternoon, this day, as well.

Cynthia Daicus: And my question is, how do you know when your life has been fulfilled?
