Gathered Fragments
When Jesus told His disciples to gather up the fragments, He was telling them that all truth is essential. Why? Because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” So regardless of the topic, our question on this podcast will never be ‘is it salvational’ but rather: ‘is it the truth’? Each fortnight, we'll unravel a challenging yet heart-changing theme from the Bible. It's our desire that this podcast will be challenging at times, but we pray that you’ll join us in our search for every fragment of truth, that nothing be lost.
