Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong
Author: John MacArthur
“Our response to moral questions is not determined by politics, economics, personal preference, popular opinion, or human reasoning. It is, instead, grounded in what God has told us is true about ourselves and our world….God’s Word offers sanity, clarity, and hope.” —John MacArthur
