Hey guys, welcome back. We are in chapter two today. I cannot wait to show you the impeccable

logic that the Apostle Paul uses to defend the gospel of grace. And it's worth defending in his life

and in yours as well. Listen. Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly.

We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day.
