(From The Foundations Archive) Ignorance is bliss, or so the old expression goes. Is there any truth to it or is ignorance a path to destruction?

Service Evangelism
(From The Foundations Archive) It has been said, "Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words." The Gospel is inherently verbal but there is some truth in the statement. To reach the world with the love of God manifest in Christ Jesus, we will need both words and deeds.
