  The last few weeks have been full of intensive Bible study. (The fruits of that will bear soon in a few articles I’m working on) I cracked a smile at one point, realizing that when the church says to “study your Bible,” is that really what they want? Growing up in a conservative church, there…

• The Biggest Barrier to Present Truth for SDA

  

  For those not SDA who follow this blog, this is 100% an article you can skip. It has no bearing on your theology.
