Intellectuals And Yokes

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 15, 2016

There are many intellectuals who believe themselves to be beyond believing in "simple-minded" Christianity. Is the Gospel found in the Bible just a myth that needs to be reinvented, or, is it the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth?

God’s Kindness, Our Need For Repentance Series

That attitude is so important because we are not to be judgmental, but we should humbly acknowledge we are all sinners. We were saved by grace, and we ...read more
