    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,666 views

    All of us are more alike than we are different, even those who are well outside our values. We need to see the broken as brothers and sisters in search of God, and to feel urgency about reaching them.

    If blood is supposed to be thicker than water, meaning that we have a primary responsibility to our families, then I guess we had better know who our families are.

    Although the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), our searching the Scriptures does us no good if we do not seek an understanding of this Godly wisdom by delving into the deeper things revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

    Christ has risen. Matthew 28:1-17 Regardless of how you view the 28th chapter of Matthew, the point of the narrative found in it is a dead man came back to life and got out of his grave. When we consider the events that redefined everything the world knew about God, life, and death; we develop a ...read more

They are the same man, but he was only known as Abram until he was called to do something special by God - when he was 75 years old! Not long after that, God changed his name to Abraham, which has a specific meaning. ...read more
