    It Is Time To Forgive And Affirm Love

    Contributed by Tessie R. Simmons on Sep 15, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,703 views

    The church must forgive those who cause grief and reaffirm love, and each person must do the same.

    But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent-not to exaggerate it- to all of you. This punishment by the majority is enough for such a person; so now instead you should forgive and console him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I urge you ...read more

    A Painful Visit

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 10, 2009

    For Martin Luther King Sunday. Misunderstanding comes about because we do not hear one another, we do not have the context to understand, or someone deliberately creates distance. Racial understanding needs to take all this into account.

    Misunderstanding is an inevitable part of life. Just because we are human, just because we have limitations and are imperfect, we are going to misunderstand one another. And the sooner we accept that as a part of life and learn to deal with it, the better off we’ll be. There are several reasons ...read more

    Satan’s advantage is based upon one being ignorant of his devices or his methods. What are some of the devil’s devices by which he seeks to deceive God’s children, defeat God’s church, destroy God’s work, and denigrate God’s Word? His methods include dist

    God has given us great and precious promises in the Bible.These promises are highly reliable and we can count on them. However, most of these promises are conditional. We study the Bible to unveil the requirements for the activation of God's promises in our area of concern.

    Christians today tend to romanticize the early church as a Golden Age when passages like this one present a picture of a church with plenty of struggles. What does that mean for how we should view the church today?
