THE WORD OF GOD AND THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD

    ACTS 20:17-28                   

 

 Pastor Rick Jackson

 “The Bible does not need to be rewritten- it needs to be reread.”

“Men do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself- men reject the Bible because it contradicts them!”

“If your Bible is falling apart there’s a good chance you’re not.”

“Read it through, pray it in, work it out, and pass it along!”
