Have you been born again?
Luke 18:18 “And a ruler asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’” John 3:3-4 “Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

Have you ever been aggravated because people in authority were making decisions…

The whole truth
John 3:18 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” Do you like to be told half-truths? When there’s both good news and bad news which is part of a story, do you like…
