Obey God

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015

To Love Is To Obey

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 16, 2014

Opening illustration: One morning as I left Maureena for work, I began to wonder, why should I obey God’s laws? The answer played out as I approached a traffic light that had just turned yellow. A driver at the intersection waited to make sure I had fully stopped. Why did I stop? I asked ...read more
