    Selective Memory Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 27, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 12,786 views

    We use selective memory either to remember only pleasant things (denial) or only negative things (pessimism). God’s memory is an occasion of grace, for which we can be grateful.

    The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. Isn’t that ironic? The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. That could be due to several things. That could be ...read more

    O, for one to prophesy and maybe a thousand to sing, but none for a vain thing.

    For over forty years I was a hardcore Cessationist, but now believe that God can do whatever He wants in any dispensation. The Holy Spirit has not run out of gifts nor was stripped of some by God after the first century or when the Bible was completed. That said, there are manifestations of ...read more

    From Breath To Glory

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 28 views

    From the first breath of creation to the glory of resurrection, Christ turns death’s silence into the song of eternal life.

    Section 1 — When the Grave Doesn’t Have the Final Word There’s a hush that settles over any funeral. Even when hymns rise strong and Scripture is read, there’s always that still moment when you feel the weight of it— the silence of someone who will not answer back. I’ve stood at gravesides where ...read more
