You Missed The Point Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2008

Like Josiah’s sorry sons, we have missed the point of our fathers’ messages about the value of Scripture, the worth of the church, and the meaning of the work ethic.

Have you noticed? We honor mothers for their industry, their wisdom, their prayer life, and ...read more

There are two main defects that can effect a Pious Life: (1) they have a mistaken version of Piety as Holy Joe and Mechanical Martin or (2) they knowingly reject Piety for self-fulfillment like Phil the Pharisee.

A Christian Point Of View

Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 18, 2018

When you take chances, you are adventurous. If someone else suggests a correction, are they nit-picky or ...read more
