The Rumor Weed

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

How To Measure Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Love is only effective and truly Christian love when it is built on the foundation of all the other virtues. As soon as this is forgotten love becomes sentimental, and is reduced to an emotion, and its power is gone.

Tradition says that John the Apostle of love was carried to the Christian assembly when he was so old he could not walk, and his constant advice was, "Children love one another." When he was asked why he told them one thing all the time he replied that nothing else was needed. On the ...read more

They could only reach the conclusion that Osama Bin Laden and ...read more
