Killer Kross Sermon
We’re gathered here today collectively, to analyze the parable of a man who lost everything. Interestingly enough, the ending to this story is not yet written. This man was abandoned and betrayed by all his friends, his love ones, his family, etc. This man is truly in a place of isolation. Total abandonment from god and love itself. The ultimate salvation for every man is to die for his sins. At Slammiversary, that individual shall be granted with that opportunity. Ladies and gentlemen, now you can stand and kneel to Kross. Kross is the only true salvation. Amen, Mr. Edwards.
