     | 7,351 views

    Repentance is one of the first principles of the gospel and is essential to our temporal and eternal happiness. It is more than just acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart that gives us a fresh view about God about ourselves and world

     | 2,575 views

    The story of Hagar and the birth of Ishmael teaches us about what happens when we stop waiting on God. Our man-made plans will go astray. We need to seek God in all that we do.
