It sets an example for us that is extremely vivid. Let me first narrate a modern day parallel story based upon personal ...read more

    We read Scripture because we want to know more about God and His plan for us. But do we really understand?

     | 1,759 views

    Let me begin by saying that you should trust the scriptures over the words of any men. We must trust the scriptures much more than Luther, Calvin, Arminius, Wesley, Edwards, Whitefield or any Pope or bishop.
