(verse 5) It is sad to say, but we live in a day where church pews are full of marshmallows and the pulpit has in it a preacher with a backbone like a gummy bear! Something that this evangelist refuses to be adjustable on is the supreme importance of an Inspired and Preserved Bible!

(John 15:3) Innocency!</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
