What Christ Means to a True Believer
Jesse M. Hendley
First Peter 1:8
Now friends, if you have your Bibles, turn with me to I Peter 1: 8 and today we are taking up my favorite theme and I believe the favorite theme of every believer and that is "What Christ means to a true believer."

Dr. Reimer was used on the campuses of our universities in a great way, and a young man came to him and said, "I have found a mistake in the Bible." Dr. Reimer said, "That's strange. I have been reading and studying a l ...
