…the resurrection, in many ways, simply validates the cross. We like the resurrection. The cross is uncomfortable, because it reminds us of our sin. It is bloody, gory, terrifying, messy. No one is naturally drawn to such a place. Even Jesus recoiled from it in the garden of Gethsemane. We want the victory of the resurrection. The cross seems such a place of defeat and death.

…words, not only does everything come from Him, but it also goes back to Him, as the Zondervan NIV Bible Commentary says: “Creation is for Christ in the sense that He is the end for which all things exist, the goal toward whom all things were intended to move. They are meant to serve His will and to contribute to His glory.” (volume 2, page 820) All matter is made up of atoms. Within each atom is a nucleus which…
…any damage to the right side of her head where she landed onto the concrete. We concluded she was pushing the push broom and backed off the edge in between the studs of the wall, which were twelve inches apart. We contacted family and friends, to begin the prayer chain. During her tests, we saw blood coming from the Ericka’s right nostril . . . causing us to panic again. Minutes seemed like hours, hours like days as they completed…
…prayed, and got a warm feeling about the Book of Mormon so decided to get baptized. This was in April 1998. I was warmly welcomed into the membership and very soon I was called to be a stake missionary. Gail was called as a young women’s counselor. This caused some problems because Gail wanted to make the lessons fun and teach them useful things like computer skills etc. The leadership just wanted to teach them how to cook and sew…
