I talk a bit about the Shroud of Turin, the trend of government to acknowledge Aliens and UFOs, etc. There is so much I was hearing 40-plus years ago from Bible-believing pastors and evangelists who were simply sharing insight from the King James Bible. Please share your comments and thoughts if you have similar experiences.
