I have been amazed over the years at how simple God has made eternal truths to every man who deeply longs to find the meaning of all that God has said. One of the major problems is that we come to the Bible with preconceived ideas and wrong conclusions which have come from those who have used pamphlets, books, radio, television, campaigns…

He told the unbelieving leaders, “Why, this is a marvelous thing that you do not know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!” He then said, “Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of the one…
