Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

Be In The Know (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Feb 4, 2019

Last week I talked about how we need to realize how little we know. We might know a lot of information but what about spiritual things? God wants everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth. Then we need to grow in our knowledge. There are some things we need to have along with knowledge.
