    Fatherhood is both a calling and a gift. As we celebrate Father’s Day, we must not only appreciate our earthly fathers but also embrace God’s role as our perfect Father. Every father here is called to leave a godly legacy. Every child is called to honour and appreciate their father.

    Paying Our Spiritual Debts

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 4, 2001
    based on 28 ratings
     | 10,233 views

    Debt can be a good thing, spiritually; we owe debts to those who have shaped us, both negatively and positively, and pay that back by sharing in mutual respect and by offering the good news to a generation yet to come.

    How do you feel about debt? Do you like debt? Do you take pleasure in interest payments? How many of you say, “Oh, Mr. Greenspan, please don’t lower the interest rate again. I want to pay more. I love debt.” Can I get a show of hands? I thought not. You don’t like debt. I don’t like ...read more

    Loneliness has been called the most desolate word in the English language. It is no respecter of age, race, economic status, or intelligence. Albert Einstein once said, “It is strange to be known so universally, and yet to be so lonely.”

    When we steal, we take from the person who possesses it, and from God who owns it. When we trust God’s providential provision, we will treat people and their property with respect.

About halfway through, he discovered a package of garlic in his cart. He stopped what he was doing, pulled ...read more

    Part of our problem today is that we’ve become too casual with God. Instead of hesitating to even pronounce His name, we use His name flippantly. It is to be spoken with deep reverence and profound respect … even fear.

    I guess I was about 4 years old when I realized that my mother had another name besides “Mom” … and one day I decided to call her by that name instead of “Mom.” Big mistake. She asked me to do something and I replied: “Okay … Marie.” There was that thunderous moment of silence … the laser beam ...read more
