The Gospel of Jesus Christ

I recently saw this video and thought it would be good to share with my readers.  This takes the testimony of Kirk Cameron and couples it with the teaching of Dr. John MacArthur in a clear presentation of the Gospel, the good news, about Jesus Christ.  This is what my life is all about: promoting [...]
