     | 2,712 views

    What we think about the most; work the hardest for and love the most is our "god". And for most Americans, even those in our churches, this is material possessions. We worship "ourselves" and the possessions are out offerings to ourselves

    Having, Losing, Choosing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 31, 2009
     | 4,576 views

    Whatever we think we possess can be lost. God gives it to us for only so long as we need it, but after that it becomes an idol. We must choose to give away time, talent, treasure for things that do last, and for life itself.

    Almost nothing that you and I count on to be permanent really is permanent. Almost everything that we think will last forever, it turns out, can be destroyed. Anything we have we can also very easily lose. We live in a monumental city. Capitol Hill, the monuments, the Federal Triangle, the White ...read more

    2nd in a series from Ecclesiastes. Even though life "under the sun" is fleeting, we can still enjoy the journey.

    Over the years, many of people have come up with metaphors to try and describe what life is like. Perhaps you are familiar with a few of these. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. • Forrest Gump Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you ...read more
