Give Me Patience ... Now! Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 31, 2019

It is always a bad idea to try to accomplish God’s plan in your own way and by your own timing. God’s plans come complete with His methods and His timing, and when we get impatient and try to tinker with that … well, everything gets all messed up.

“Don’t pray for patience.” Who hasn’t heard that before, amen? It’s almost become an axiom when it comes to prayer, hasn’t it? Some of you, I suspect, believe it and have even advised someone in your family or one of your friends not to pray for patience. I disagree. I pray for patience all ...read more

Just Say No Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003

Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery.

Who's The Boss

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 13, 2021

Most people who work, have a boss. I remember my first job, Rawlins WY. It was at the Willow Inn, washing dishes. Then at the age of 13, I got a job in the pantry. Lynn Brogan and son. In my few short years, I have always had a job and bosses. Some were good, some not so good.

AJ Pence said, “Some that I respect and others no reason to respect.” One thing I have learned for sure, the boss is always the boss. He may not always be right, but he is still the boss. I just do what I'm told to do! Let's turn our attention and thoughts to our spiritual life. It should ...read more
