## Resource

The world's culture is promoting every possible spiritual avenue--except the Only Way to the Father, Jesus. It isn't a new problem; it's an old problem. From the Garden of Eden the serpent has been offering a hidden knowledge to "be like God," which has always proved to be an empty esoteric invitation. We are going to spend some time in our next few shows learning how the apostle John addressed these things to the church. We hope you enjoy this time... Pastor Brad
