    Part 1 of a 3 part series on suffering.

    The Joy of Suffering I preceded this series by examining the false view that God guarantees us health, wealth and a carefree lifestyle. This was absolutely necessary for a number of obvious reasons. We are to uphold truth. The belief that our inheritance is in this life distorts the scriptures, ...read more

    Saddam And The Prince Of Persia

    What does the Bible have to say about Iraq? You might be surprized to find that the Bible is filled with references to Iraq, from Genesis to Revelation. There is a pattern that can be seen as far back as 820 BC. The spiritual forces there are continuing

    Saddam and the Prince of Persia 4-06-03 The backlash against our government’s stand against Iraq has caused me to wonder what is going on in the spiritual realm. Perhaps I am naïve or uninformed, but it doesn’t seem to be that complicated. There is a tyrant that brutally attacked a neighboring ...read more

    So much in our lives seems temporary; but God can give us a fresh start, can transform our incompleteness, and can give us hope.

    Somebody asked me, when I was getting ready to take study leave, “Why are you doing this? Are you going for another degree? Are you preparing to take another job? And did the deacons make you do this?” Well, I said, I’m taking the study leave because I don’t get much reading time under normal ...read more

    Life Is Not Fair Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 29, 2003
    based on 124 ratings
     | 14,771 views

    Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

    Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more

    I take a look at the gifts that were given to construct the temple.

    There was a sense of excitement in the air. For hundreds of years the people of Israel had worshipped their God in a tent.
