At least two things have caused the general public to turn away from these eternal truths. MANY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEITY OF CHRIST… ...read more

Could This Be The Biggest Myth In Evangelism Today? Series

Contributed by Louis Posthauer on Mar 17, 2022

This myth has effectively crippled much evangelism in the West in our time because we actually believe it and operate as if it were true. And it is not.
