The Bible Code

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 26, 2005

Stop trying to appease the world’s intellect for they cannot understand God by the mind. True science affirms the Word, but science doesn’t convict the heart. Facts are easily ignored, but the Spirit working on the heart cannot; resisted, but not ignored

I know some very good men think this is a great find, but even great men need to hear from an Amos from time to time. When you first listen to it, it sounds really cool especially to ...read more
