This Week - June 15, 2025

Families Are Forever

Broadcast Date: June 15, 2025
John the Beloved said, “… God is love …” (1 John 4:16) Now please, think about this for a minute: If God is love, then love is forever; and if love is forever, then families must be forever. Please, let me illustrate. Grandpa and Grandma were serving the Lord back east when it was learned that Grandpa had cancer. The doctors gave him…

A Son of God

Broadcast Date: June 15, 2025
It was the Fall of 1976, and my first semester in college. It was also my first time on my own. I was sitting in a Freshman English class when the instructor asked us to write a paper addressing this thesis, “Man: The highest form of life or the lowest.” I scarcely hesitated; I chose lowest, and wrote my paper defending my position. Now…

Watching You (Country)

Broadcast Date: June 15, 2025
Since it’s Father's Day and dads are notoriously hard to buy for, I thought I would share a gift idea. Now, I know it’s too late for this year, but – next year. And by the way, my daughter gets credit for this idea. I was driving down the highway one day when my cell phone rang. It was our oldest daughter who is married and living…

Hide and Seek

Broadcast Date: June 15, 2025
How important is it to be a careful parent? I was in the kitchen one Sunday afternoon making bread. I dearly love hot homemade bread, but that’s neither here nor there. My 3-year-old son, Adam, was sitting on the counter helping me – or at – at least if you call sitting in the flour helping me, he was helping me – when suddenly without…

The Fatherhood of God

Broadcast Date: June 15, 2025
You know, it seems to me that, speaking of Fathers’ Day, too often we focus so much on the Godhood of God that we fail to recognize the Fatherhood of God. Now indeed, He is all-knowing and all-powerful, and all-just. He governs the universe and holds the destinies of men and nations in His hands. But so too, in every worthy sense of the…

Last Week

Hypocrites

Broadcast Date: June 08, 2025
There are those who have created an image of a Savior who is so gentle that He's never angry; so kind that He's never harsh; so forgiving that He winks at sin. Now, such an image is wrong, and the problem is, it can foster a casual attitude toward the Lord's commandments. The reality is that Jesus cleared the Temple with a whip, rebuked Peter and turned His back on…

Zacchaeus

Broadcast Date: June 08, 2025
I've come to the conclusion I must be strangely made. It truly pains my soul to meet someone who has lost hope. With that in mind, I speak to that person who has given up, or is about to. While journeying to Jerusalem to die, Jesus was to pass through Jericho. Luke says as he came close to Jericho, "... a certain [blind] man sat by the wayside begging:" (Luke 18:35…

Manti Pageant

Broadcast Date: June 08, 2025
Manti, Utah - about 40 years ago: I had never seen anything like it. I was totally unprepared, and I knew nothing of what was coming. When the angel Moroni appeared in brilliant glory atop the tower of the Manti Temple at the climax of the Manti Pageant, I sat breathless and speechless. A feeling of genuine awe and inspiration came over me. It was one of the most…

They Were Offended

Broadcast Date: June 08, 2025
The Savior was kind, and filled with charity. Yet there were times when He could be daunting, and very straight-spoken – for example: The Pharisees and the scribes sought him out, and happened to observe His disciples eating bread without first washing their hands. That bothered them. They took occasion to criticize what they deemed sinful behavior. [You] see,…

Daniel

Broadcast Date: June 08, 2025
You know, I don’t think any of us would go get a job, and then ask our employer on the first day for a year’s wages in advance. That’s ridiculous. You work for what you get, not the other way around. Yet there are some who expect great blessings and miracles from God without any effort on their part. Heaven knows how to put the proper price on its goods, and that…
