You started down some path, you knew it was a mistake, but you got so invested in it you felt you had to see it through, even though it was getting worse ...read more

First Things First Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 2, 2012

Understanding how quickly life goes by and how long eternity is should teaches us to have the right priorities. Getting to know God in a personal way should be our greatest priority in life.

Despising The Lord's Table

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2010
