     | 4,643 views

    It is Better, to tell the truth, that hurts and then heals than to tell a lie that comforts & then kills. It is Better to be Hated for Telling the Truth than to be Loved for Telling a Lie. It is Better to Stand Alone with the Truth than to be Wrong with the Multitude

    based on 5 ratings
     | 18,025 views

    We all have to hear the call of the world and the call of our Savior. It’s up to us, though, how much we listen, and how much attention we pay to each call.

    Calling -- Whose Call Will You Answer? Since school is starting (or already has started), I wanted to begin a new series on calling and what it means to be called. Before we can really get into the meat and potatoes of calling, I felt it important to first describe the different callings at work ...read more

    Moses obeyed God, but the intial reaction was Pharoah’s orders and the Hebrews’ backlash. Sometimes we get misunderstood too. But hang in there anyway!
