Dan DeRoche | John 20:19-23
“As Western culture becomes increasingly antagonistic to the gospel, it also necessarily, becomes increasingly detached from reality. It is no coincidence that a generation which denies the existence of our Creator and His ways also denies other fundamental truths. The tragic implications of our culture’s dominant worldview become even more evident after the devastating shooting in Tennessee.” (Nicholas Perrin, President Trinity International University)
