Do we think of a divine fire insurance that after putting our name on the dotted line we can now heave a deep sigh of relief ...read more

    Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Oct 19, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,885 views

    Why is a recognition of the Trinity important? Without an understanding of the working of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God is reduced to part time work.
