    Can I Have Doubts And Still Be A Christian? Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 26, 2002

    The greatest wall that sin erected was a wall between us and God. Our relationship with God was bricked off and blocked and there was nothing we could ever do on our own to tear one brick out of that wall.
