The Road To Redemption

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Jun 14, 2022

What an incredible example and admirable trait we see in Peter to be able to say when Jesus asks, "do you love me?" and respond, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you."

Telling Someone Something You'll Never Do It can be dangerous to tell someone something that you'll never do. Have you ever heard someone say something like (or maybe you've said it yourself), "I'll never let my kid play with that kind of toy," or "I'll never let ...read more

Skepticism Or Commitment? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 30, 2003

You can read "What is truth?" as cynical skepticism, as playful intellectualism, as the plaintive cry of a battered soul, or as the hopeful sound of a hungry heart.

It was our first Thanksgiving on our own; always before we had traveled to our parents, but now, with a baby in the house and with other responsibilities, we had elected to do it our own, complete with a full-fledged roasted turkey.

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
