Just Say No Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003

Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

Many of us have watched movies of wild animals on television. I enjoy watching them until they become vicious and start attacking and devouring each other.

That is, they are unkind and vicious in the way they treat others! Illus: They remind me of the story of President ...read more

Who Are You Trying To Fool? Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 5, 2000

A look at some of the ways we try to deceive others, ourselves and God.
