    Memory Strings And Purse Strings

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,786 views

    We remember what matters to us. God asks us to remember what He has done for us, but our attachment to money competes with that memory. We need to remember what God has done among us and that His mission is for all to experience it. That will loosen ou

The other day one of my friends told me if he is in a group and he is asked to introduce the members of the group, by the time he gets halfway around the room he is forgetting the names of people he ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,569 views

    Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

    Belief is a powerful thing. What I believe in makes me who I am, I am what I believe. What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something. What we believe in may ...read more

    Making Sense Of Life And Death

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2009
     | 3,753 views

    Life has to be more than what many in our time think it is. It does have meaning, as does death, if we live out of our sense of the purposes of God and if we have Christ as our constant companion.

    He was all of thirteen years old, just beginning to emerge from boyhood and to fill out a little. He seemed, to look at him, alert, intelligent, full of the mischief you would expect from somebody entering the awkward years. His voice wavered between high-pitched laughter and the creaking croaking ...read more

     | 7,502 views

    In Romans 8:5 Paul is focusing on the two ways Christians can choose to live. They can “live according to the sinful nature” or they can choose to “live in accordance with the Spirit.” What determines whether I will walk in the flesh or in the Spirit?

    Romans 8:5 3/1/15 Last week we discussed the first four verses in Romans 8. In Romans 8:1 we read the astounding statement that Paul makes about anyone who is “in Christ.” This statement can only be made concerning those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior. But it does apply to all those ...read more
