Knowing When To Break The Rules

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 2, 2009

Just when you think you have your life all organized, something comes up to discombobulate it! Just when you think you know the rules by which you govern your life, ...read more

Ghostbusters

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 15, 2009

Panicked people do irrational things, like attempt to live in the past or to live out of bad religion. Panic can be dealt with only by trusting God and living in integrity. Luther’s Reformation is a prime illustration.

Children may be afraid of dark rooms and of monsters under the bed, but the rest of us also panic. Don’t tell ...read more
