IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Someone commits a violent crime in America every 26 seconds and a murder every 36 minutes. Why? Sin has crept into their lives. The problem of sin starts in the heart, and the answer is in the Lord. In next week’s presentation, “The Answer Is God,” Phil Sanders will discuss why that is true. The program can be seen every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
