When our minds really catch hold of the significance of Jesus' atonement, the world's hold on us loosens.

Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.

Having faith in the plan of salvation includes steadfastly refusing to be diverted from our true identities and responsibilities. In the brief season of our existence on earth we may serve as a plumber, professor, farmer, physician, mechanic, bookkeeper, or teacher. These are useful activities and honorable designations; but a temporary vocation is not reflective of our true identities. Matthew was a tax collector, Luke a physician, and Peter a fisherman. In a salvational sense, 'so what!'

Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.

A basic cause of murmuring is that too many of us seem to expect that life will flow ever smoothly, featuring an unbroken chain of green lights with empty parking places just in front of our destinations!.

In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.

Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
