Any discussion on such a subject, non-essential truth, is a dangerous discussion. What is the bare minimum truth we [...]

Last week’s post, on how the Post Modern mindset may be found just north of your shoulders and mine, brought up the the issue of Non-essential truth. While doing research in an attempt to write on this subject, I came across some great truths from C.H. Spurgeon on the subject. Let us hold God’s truth, [...]
