Analysis of Truth by the Numbers

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Number one – There is only one.
Holy God and he is sovereign
Over everything and everyone.

Number two – the Word of God.
Is absolutely true and right and just.

Number three – If you have any questions?
Refer back to numbers one and two.
