More About Obedience And A Good Day's Work Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 8, 2016

We are also called to honor and obey our heavenly Father-this is the highest obedience. If obedience to parents or an employer, or a government, is contradictory to obedience to God, we have to make a choice. We must choose to obey God rather than people.

Less Is More

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

Prosperity gospel is a very popular Christian movement today. It states that God will always bless you with good health and material wealth if you ask Him. That's FALSE!! Good health is NOT guaranteed and material wealth will NEVER get you into heaven.
