    based on 110 ratings
     | 34,013 views

    What about when the answer doesn’t come right away? What happens when we get a different answer than the one we expected to get? What happens when we pray and things get worse instead of better? What happens when deliverance is delayed?

    How many know that we serve a mighty God? Does everyone agree with that statement, this morning? We all love to talk about the wonderful miracle working power of almighty God.

    Receiving the gifts of oneness means that we love one leader and commit to one calling. Those things are not the same as having doctrinal agreement or being socially compatible.

    This week I met a young man who was very clear about what he needed. He came here to the church to participate in a wedding rehearsal. We began to talk about weddings. He expressed the hope that this wedding would not be like the last wedding he had attended. In that earlier wedding, he had ...read more

    Contributed by Kenneth Squires on Jun 18, 2003
    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,744 views

    It is easier to slip into our post-modern patterns of relating rather than move toward involvement over isolation, longing for genuineness over guardedness. The only salvation today is Solomon’s wise counsel on relating: “Two are better than one, because

    25Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdeline. 26When Jesus saw His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” 27and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From ...read more

  • You Missed The Point

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 23, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,637 views

    Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

    The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 25,860 views

Giving is an attitude that allows us to give all that we are, have and possess in the Holy Spirit to provide ...read more
