"The Man & His Wife...were Not Ashamed." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 5, 2005

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. The Genesis’ account answers the age old question, "Who’s to blame." There are no more excuses and we can discover this as we examine it together!

Introduction We’d all like to say, "It’s was their fault..." we’re always looking for someone else to blame. No one wants to accept the responsiblity for their own actions, it’s always "Someone elses fault." This isn’t something new either. It dates as far back as the Genesis account.

Go Tell It On Mt. Carmel Series

The Eyes Of A Doctor Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 14, 2020

If you want to truly help people recover from failure, lead with compassion, not condemnation; lead by example, not by examination; and lead with wisdom; not words. To put it succinctly, see with the eyes of a doctor, not a judge.

I touch my stomach and it hurts. I touch my chest and it hurts. You have to help me, Doc, ...read more
