Rev. Donald E. Wildmon is Founder and Chairman Emeritus of American Family Association (AFA) and American Family Radio (AFR).
For the believer integrity is not optional, it’s necessary. The reputation of our Lord, Christ Jesus is at stake and the eternity of those who might be watching.
Being judged as too young and too little doesn’t have to stop us from and accomplishing our purpose. Just look at the life of Russell Conrad.
Twelve were sent; only two, Joshua and Caleb returned with the opinion that, indeed, the Israelites could take the land God had promised. When God speaks He expects His man to respond in obedience, regardless of what the man’s eyes tell him.
How do we overcome when life’s bumps and bruises turn into tragedy? We can learn much from the young boy who became revered and remembered as the greatest speaker in Greece, Demosthenes.
When it’s hard to find your place in life despair is a grave enemy. We must keep searching, trying, reaching until we find the place for us in our Creator’s plan.
There is much to learn from the life of the Apostle Paul. One thing we must learn as believers is total trust in God, regardless of our experiences.
General Dean’s letter to his family was and is a reminder that integrity is to be had over all.
Determined to keep his leg, a young farm-boy taught the adults around him the meaning of simple faith.
When in need, help often comes in the forms we least expect. Living from the truth of the Scripture, that is doing, is always more important than the hearing and not doing. It’s not what we know; it’s what we do with what we know.
How one responds to the losses in life determines how well we learn the lessons in those losses. Our best efforts are not always enough for the win but, our best efforts are all we are required to give.
Traps come in all shapes and sizes. Sin is one such trap. We may play around with it and get by for a while but the trap of sin will be sprung and we will be caught up in it. Beware that greed doesn’t seize you like a monkey.
Failing to use what we have been given for any common good may come from fear. The way we use our resources says a lot about who we really are. Self-assessment IS invited, encouraged and necessary.
The study of theology can be difficult and no one person or group can have all of God’s truth. The basics, however are so simple even a child can understand.
One kind act is often all it takes to change not just one life, but many lives for the better.
Turbulent times are often times of fear. Fear of lack of control, fear of loss, fear of the unknown. Holding everything, including our lives, with open hands is the only way to vanquish those fears through our faith in our Creator.
Money is part of my life expended for the payment of it’s worth. When handled rightly, money provides the means by which my life is also extended into the lives of others who may be in need.
Armed with passion and desire to achieve a goal can and will make a difference in the lives of others. Those around you have opportunity to be inspired and those far-off may simply have opportunity that otherwise would not have come. Look around and see what needs to be done; and then do it.
Get rich quick schemes most often don’t give what they promise. Working for the things you want is far better for all concerned.
Competition can push us forward positively aiding in the completion of achievements. Pride n the other hand, will often overrule the humility needed to achieve our goals in a positive manner.
The founders of our nation labored diligently and carefully to create our nation. They used a foundation of three pillars, holding equal weight. They are Home, school and church.
