Avoiding Spiritual and Biblical Deception with Dr. Sam Storms and Cultivating an Appetite for the Word of God with Nate Pickowicz

We continued our weekly theme: “Is that in the Bible? Separating Fact from Fiction" today on Karl and Crew.  How biblically and spiritually literate are you?  How do we arm ourselves to know what is true and what isn't?  Dr. Sam Storms is Founder and President of Enjoying God's Ministries and author of over 40 books, including "Understanding Spiritual Warfare."  He offered insight and wisdom on avoiding spiritual deception and staying rooted in God's Truth.  How is your Bible reading time?  Nate Pickowicz is a pastor and author of "How to Eat Your Bible: A Simple Approach to Learning and Loving the Word of God." He shared encouragement on Bible-reading plans and restoring your love of God's Word each day. Have you heard the phrase "If one door closes, God will open another"?  Have you heard the phrase "If one door closes, God will open another"?  We had a great discussion today on familiar misused phrases and verses.  You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
