Often truth is analyzed to death under the rubric of psychiatry and psychology. Anna Russell took the Mickey out of this “me” generation with its forms of explaining away all strange behavior, […]

Romans 1:18–25, 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the […]
