    If you want to be rich in the things that really count, don’t rely on yourself; rely on the Lord. Simply believe in the Savior and don’t boast about your sacrifices. Then you will not only inherit eternal life, you will be first in God’s Kingdom.

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,420 views

    We could all use a little boost every now and then. Some synonyms for “boost” are: improve, make better, advance. Sound refreshing? Sound invigorating?

We wonder if what we’re doing really matters to anyone. We could all use a little boost every now and then. No, not the energy drink, although ...read more

    When Jesus told Nathanael that He saw him under the fig tree, He was telling Nathanael that He knew everything about him, even the deepest longings of his heart.

The opening of his Gospel makes it very clear that, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word ...read more

    Caleb: A Man Favored By God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
     | 23,567 views

    God loves everyone, nevertheless there are those whom He has favored more than others. In this lesson, well explore the story of Caleb and learn why God favored him and how He will favor you.

    Does God have favorites? Oh I know He loves everybody. John 3:16 settles that argument. We also know that He does not show partiality toward men but calls all of every nation (Acts 10:34). And yet, when we survey the annuls of scripture, we clearly see that God was drawn to certain individuals more ...read more
