The Mending Of Our Minds

Contributed by Richard Lankford on Jul 25, 2022

Many of the things we hear and are exposed to on a regular basis shape the way we think throughout life. And for a majority of the time, our thoughts ultimately determine the actions that we take and the conclusions that we reach..

If you want to escape sin in times of temptation, realize how much God has blessed you, resist the desire for evil, rely on God for your way of escape. Then take that way of escape and run! Run from the idolatry that will eventually destroy you.

Godly Grandparents Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 4, 2021

Godly grandparents have such a powerful impact on the lives of grandchildren that one is not far from the mark to say that the church and the Sunday School, and all other arms of the kingdom of God are supplements to the influence of grandparents.

Among the many things that makes man unique in creation is the presence of, and the influence of, grandparents. F. W.
