We Know In Part Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2003

We know little about life after death, but we do know that heaven is not possessing things, that hell is about separation from God, and that the love of God will reach even to the most alienated.

We think that having things will make us happy. The truth is that happiness comes from sharing what you have with someone you love. Fulfillment is not measured by how much you have. Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more

The Love Of God

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 28, 2002

In this passage, the simplest & yet most profound statement of all is "God is love." That sounds beautiful, but what does it mean? We use the word "love" a lot, & I’m afraid that our use of it can be rather confusing.

The Gift From Hell

Contributed by Ed Warfield on Mar 4, 2008

How do we get rid of a critical attitude toward others? God commands us to love each other. Which means, I can "will" to love you, and you in turn can "will" to love me. This is our Christian responsibility

The danger of a critical spirit is that it spreads to others, and the criticism does not have to be warranted.
