“Avoid foolish questions, genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.” Now, Paul said we’re to defend the faith but not in argument or debate.

Right through this period there’s been a great deal said about demonism, and I’ve had any number of letters, “Oh Dr. McGee give a series on demonism.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
