I found it Necessary: How does God speak to us

2021-10-2726:23

This series of episodes (Part 1 of 3) is a response to the recent issue of the death of members of a Church in St. James. These members were killed through what seemed to be ritualistic killing, which has been very disturbing to the Jamaican public. It has also sparked numerous discussions and my hope is that these episodes will serve others to think critically. Books used: Foxes Book of Martyrs- John Foxe The Bible- All passages were quoted from the English Standard Version Students of the word- John Stott Why Trust the Bible- Greg Gilbert
