IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Some say children are born in sin and inherit a sinful nature from Adam. Others say children are really born innocent. How does Scripture describe the nature of man? And are children lost from birth? These are two questions which Phil Sanders will consider in next week’s lesson, “Born In Sin?” The nationally televised program can be seen locally every Sunday on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7, at 7:30 a.m.
