I averaged 45 points per game. I was the best rebounder in my high school. And I led our team to 3 ...read more

    Prophets, to be legitimate, must stand the test of time.

    (If it misses—it’s a lie) Prophets, to be legitimate, must stand the test of time. If the prophet was not completely correct 100% of the time he is a false prophet. Prophecy, to be valid, must predate the event; must be precise enough so as to not be vague; must have enough events described to be ...read more

    You Missed The Point

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 23, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,431 views

    Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

    The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more

    James tells us the tongue is impossible to tame, and then tells us to tame it! Here’s how God helps us do the impossible.

    James 3:1-12 February 9, 2003 Taming the Tongue The Power of Words I love you, you’re important to me, thank you so much, how can I repay you, you look really nice today, I like your new haircut, great job, this place wouldn’t be the same without you, I’m proud of you, you are ...read more

    Three questions every individual must come to terms with in this life.

    If you walk in the Spirit, you'll not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

    We must remember that we must not judge the meaning of the Word of God by what our lives are, but we must judge our lives by what the Word of God says.
