(2 Chronicles 7:14) In our lifetime we are presented with many choices, but what is it that we ...read more

     | 6,032 views

    Forgetting And Remembering God

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 23, 2015
     | 10,090 views

    When we intentionally set up a structure to help us remember God, we are more likely to obey Him and trust Him. When we forget God through neglect or unrealized good intentions, we are more likely to disobey Him and trust in our own ability.

    Forgetting and Remembering God (Deuteronomy 8:1-20) 1. When it comes to counting our blessings, we need to get them in perspective. We often do not appreciate them until they are taken away. Take this letter from a girl away at college who wrote to her mom: 2. "Dear Mom: Sorry I haven’t ...read more
