And that appeared to be the right message for a hurt and frightened world. Love is all you need. It’s all ...read more

    Sound Doctrine 1 John 4:1—6 INTRODUCTION Comedian Jeff Foxworthy became famous for his "redneck test." A sample of this would be: 1. If you got stopped by a state trooper and when he asked if you had an I.D. You replied, "’Bout what?" You might be a redneck. 2. If you’ve ever carried a ...read more
