I heard the words so clearly in my mind on that sunny day a couple of years ago. “Why do you worry, Sue? I’ve already taken care of it.” It caught me so off guard that I stopped right there in the middle of my lunchtime run to catch my breath. With all the noise and traffic around me, I wondered, Who called me by my name? I had been worrying though.

His critics will say he is a prosperity preacher and glosses over the truth. Next, I checked my social media and read a Christian article from a man known for his scientific research. He was critiquing the truth from every word of the television series, A.D The Bible Continues, which is a program I like to watch. Which approach to Christianity is correct?
