It is not enough that we are under call or even that we are going in the right direction. The timing must be right.

Through the lens of spirituality, we see all the commandments of God as invitations to blessings.

My experiences taught me firsthand that when a person is not performing well, there are many possible reasons, some not of his own choosing.

If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow - through our premature death or through His unexpected coming - what would we do today? What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What accounts would we settle? What forgivenesses would we extend? What testimonies would we bear? If we would do those things then, why not now?

All of us should banish hateful communications and practice civility for differences of opinion.

We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.

Fear not little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. . .Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
