He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more

    Contributed by James Groce on Jun 15, 2002
    based on 60 ratings
     | 2,885 views

    Petting breaks down the will and destroys self-control. It stirs a desire that petting itself cannot satisfy. Petting is not an end in itself but is preparatory.

    There is no such thing as love at first sight. Real love is not built upon mere sight. We may see one’s talents and appearance, and these we may admire, but true love is a tender and strong attachment to the inward person. We love personality and personality must be learned, admired and ...read more

    Do not let the title of this sermon fool you! This sermon is not about the proper attire for church attendance, but rather what kind of "spiritual clothes" the Christian should wear at all times.

    What should Christians wear to worship? This sermon is NOT about the proper attire for church attendance. God doesn’t care as much as man does about dress as long as it is modest and decent.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,099 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more
