    To be effective in ministry, we need to learn one thing – don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t be too bothered about how people see you or treat you. Get over yourself. Don’t get stuck inside your own ego, because over time it will become your prison. It is amazing that while Jesus was ...read more

    It seems today people will disobey with both hands before they would be obedient with one hand.

    The disobedience of Jonah. Jonah 1:3 08/31/05 When we think of Bible heroes, we think of Jonah. But we find as disappointing as we may find, we do find that our heroes failed at times.

     | 4,477 views

    Three basics for living the Christian life from the Book of James - Be Teachable, Live a moral life, and embrace the Word of God.

    I’ve got to be honest with you -- I hate following instructions. If at all possible, I’d rather try to figure things out for myself than look at an instruction manual. I think it’s a guy thing. But it’s true. And it doesn’t really matter what it is. It can be setting the clock on the VCR, figuring ...read more

    Time At Last To Open The Mystery Package Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 8, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,888 views

    Israel, Rome, and we all think we have God figured out. God has in Christ done so much more; and when it looks as though the wrappings must be thrown away, there is more yet.

    With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Every child ought to have at least one mystery package. ...read more
