It’s been encouraging to hear over the past week of more churches using A.S.K for their youth groups. This week’s question concerns the Trinity. I suspect this is a much neglected doctrine – and that there are a suprising number of people who consider themselves Christians who do not understand how important it is. BIBLE READING: Matthew 28 TEXT: Then Jesus came to them … Continue reading The Trinity – A.S.K 12

It’s almost as though they … Continue reading The Illiberalism and Irrationality of Western Liberals – As Evidenced by the Sydney Morning Herald
