Chapter 3: Overcoming the hostilities to the Word []


Children are able to approach God without preconceived ideas. Unfortunately, the rest of us have been taught to be hostile to the Word of God and to doubt it. These subtle hostilities take several forms, but they all tempt us to disbelieve. Until now some have simply refused to give in to the temptations, but now we have the ability to see the hostilities for what they are and resist them by a knowledge of God.

The first step in eliminating hostilities is to identify them.
