These are deceptive times, and we live in a Christian culture that is Biblically illiterate and Spiritually immature. How RECKLESS it is when people are then pushed off to go read and learn on their own, like children without the tools from discipleship to be able to discern the truth. This is so very important, and we will not let up speaking of these things, as scripture so strongly urges us to! Visit www.APbiblechurch.com for more!
