Intellectually Bankrupt

Read 1 John 5:1 – 12  It has always fascinated me that so many in the church spend a great deal of their time attempting to find scientific and historical proof to support the assertions of the Christian religion.           For example, there are dozens of religious books in the marketplace that were written with claims […]
