Today, we are going to work through "kind of" a big section in Exodus. It's maybe a mistake, to do it this way. We are going to fly high over some of God's most basic, well-known commands, and they deserve to be explained better than I'm going to. But the passage as a ...read more

False Faith: Faith Amnesia Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Oct 14, 2007
