Dressed In His Righteousness Alone

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 24, 2006

Funeral sermon for Buford Pervall: deacon, usher, church clerk. To know your own value means that you learn to trust God in large matters and you seek positive change.

Someone once remarked that a cynic is a person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Badges Of Honor

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Apr 12, 2003

This message deals with one of the consequences of following Jesus: Suffering!

Which leads me to conclude that the Success of a Person or Church is not determined by Praise but by Pain; not by ...read more
