And in this short radio clip, I discuss Luke and Matthew, and I present the “big picture” in the whole of Scripture.In the end, we find that this is yet another important case where the truth will set us free.Enjoy!

And if Nita is right, then what did “examine” mean when Paul used it in 1 Corinthians 11?Listen in as Nita and I discuss all of the above in this short radio clip.
