    Thou Shalt Not Cuss

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,631 views

    It's seems that what was taboo language a few years ago is the norm now, but does that make it right?

    It really annoys me when I hear cussing in public. It’s like they are not only rude they are stupid as well, they don’t seem to understand that their conversation can be heard not only by the people they are talking to but by everyone within earshot. Kind of like when restaurants ...read more

    Namaan was a mighty man, a warrior, a commander and highly respected and honored by man, but he was leper. God’s view of greatness is different from that of the world. We need to be great in God’s eyes.

    A Rebuke Turned Back Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 22, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,659 views

    Jesus turns from silence about His achievements to open speaking about His death. He will not follow the ambition path, the pleasure path, or the easy spirituality path.

He is who He is and He says what He says, and sometimes it’s hard to take. In my experience, just about everybody out ...read more
