All Things

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 14, 2010

Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more
