What truth we know is from God; some directly via written form and other via individual revelation. Other information, mostly erroneous or out right untruths abound from suggestions of the enemy and imaginations of men. Truth is not time sensitive as current thinking claims and asserts, based on changes in fashion and various so-called technologies… Continue reading Fear God and Live
Reaching the Lost
In Mark 10:17-27 we see the story of the Rich Young Ruler which is instructive as to the proper way to reach out to the lost. We must make it clear that a person has to accept God on his terms.
