The MANIFOLD wisdom of God.
One thing that keeps us from talking to others about the Gospel of Christ is the fear someone will challenge us with something we don’t know how to answer. We are also afraid of steering anyone in the wrong direction, so we do nothing.
What if I told you that the vast majority of challenges you will encounter could be traced back to just a few simple principles? What if I told you that if you learned these handful of principles you could answer most OBJECTIONS to the gospel? How would that affect your confidence?
We need not study the teachings of denominations. If we study these few truths, we will be equipped.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” [John 8:32]
