    Entertainment, Or Entrapment?

    Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002
    based on 84 ratings
     | 7,723 views

    Christians really should be careful what they watch, and what they let their children watch. Don’t fall prey to the evil one’s schemes. You may think it’s entertainment, but is it really?

    The Bible has much to say concerning the end time, and the conditions that would characterize the last days. Paul told Timothy that perilous, dangerous times would come. But in his description of those dangerous times, he does not mention the expected, such as wars, rumors of wars, nation ...read more

    Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2003
    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,141 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." Job 1:9-10. I. "HAST THOU ...read more

    The 3 Hebrew children took a stand for God, Who didn’t save them FROM the fire, but saved them IN the fire. God has a purpose for every fiery trial that we go through.

     | 4,832 views

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most.

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more
