What I am trying to do for you on Sunday nights is to share with you some of the main themes of my ministry and of my preaching, some truths which I have felt to be very important truths.

That phrase is first of all a vindication of the words of God to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, "There is a tree here and you are not ...
