Knowing God as We Ought To | Message 20 (WIP)
A major dilemma for today’s believers is the diversity of beliefs in denominations, bible versions, pastors, teachers and even those who attend the same churches. No matter where a person may turn for reliable answers they will find differences of opinions. Confusion is minimized only when we choose to trust a single source. The problem is who is right. That brings us back to trusting ourselves to decide. The problem then is how we can know that we are right; Knowing God as We Ought To.
This message touches on a variety of issues but the main focus is 1 Cor. 8:2, “And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
