Why You Can Trust Scripture

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 21, 2020

The Fact Of Scripture Over The Words Of Fools

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 23, 2021

The Scriptures do not soothe ruffled feelings nor do they strengthen egos devoid of belief in or trust of God. An atheist is, in God's eyes, a FOOL (Psalm 14:1). Human pride and self-centeredness are roadblocks we set up with help from the enemy of our souls to deafen and blind ourselves to ...read more
