His attitude may have been the same as many today: what I do is nobody’s business but mine. Achan ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,178 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

Or: that a person can inherit eternal life even if his ...read more

    Most everybody knows that pride is sinful, but not everybody has an adequate understanding of what pride is and what it does. Pride, at its very heart, is a self-centeredness, and it will always move you away from godliness.
