The Jesus That Always Was Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Dec 15, 2015

Only a Messiah who was truly God could save humanity.

Harry Reasoner, one Christmas years ago, gave the following closing to 60 minutes [God would become a baby.] It is a startling idea, of course.

Declare If You Know Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 24, 2002

The Palm Sunday crowds, like Job’s friends, shouted their slogans too glibly, communicating only popularity and prejudice, substituting religiosity and mere activity for knowing Jesus personally.

Declare if you know. Declare. Interesting word, “Declare”. It suggests that when we communicate, there are a variety of levels at which we can speak. There are different intensities we can use when we want to say something. Some folks merely suggest. They offer timid little ideas ...read more
