The Rich Man And Lazarus

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013

Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more
