We justify not being mature by claiming that we are just like everyone else, or that we are at least working on that goal. But our example is Jesus, who gathers up our incompleteness into Himself and shows us the way to mature.

When I first announced the title of this message, “I’m Not Perfect”, somebody was sharp enough to reply, “Yes, we’ve noticed, we’ve noticed.” Well, thanks a heap! Don’t you know by now that when I say something self-deprecating, you are supposed to shower me with compliments and bathe me in ...read more

A lot of people think the Bible is a book of rules. A lot of people think of the Bible as a source of doctrines - of right teachings about God. A lot of people consider the Bible, because it is inspired by God, to basically be God. And that’s the people who respect the Bible. There are others ...read more

Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003

based on 101 ratings

| 17,530 views

Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more

The message explores the idea of being the best and the greatest. However, in the Kingdom of God, that is defined in ways that this world cannot understand. In fact, that should not even be our goal...serving Christ with our all is the priority.

Grieving healthily means remembering both positive and negative; it means connecting with others who can love us and whom we can love. In His own time God will give joy.

One of the laws of life is: To get something, you must give up something. To gain, you must also lose. We call that the tradeoff principle. We operate on the tradeoff principle every day. When you go to the grocery store and fill your basket, they have the audacity to expect you to pay for what ...read more
