Time Heals All Ills; or Does It?
March 11, 2010
Scriptural Basis: “For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?” Hebrews 2:2 Jesus said,“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.” Matthew 12:36 Application: The old proverb “time heals all ills” describes a prevailing attitude man continually nurses concerning his sins. Perhaps...

Be a better parent – It’s never too late
July 31, 2009
By Glenda Anderson If you see where your problems lie, please do not be discouraged. I know the tendency is to think, "I see where I have been a terrible parent. My teenager is a mess, and the situation is hopeless." No, it is not hopeless. That, if anything, is the underlying message of the Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH): hope! At the PAYH, we take troubled young men in whom wrong seeds have been planted. By applying God's principles to them even at this seemingly "late stage," we see miracles...

We Prove Daily That Forgiveness Is Not Natural
February 6, 2008
Scriptural Basis: "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matthew 6:12 Anderson's Applications: I was nine or ten years old and it was 10 minutes to midnight on New Years Eve. At midnight sharp the fireworks would go off on the top of Pikes Peak. Unfortunately, I was sitting in a position that did not give me a view of the top of the peak, despite the large window in the front of the church; depending on where you were sitting you would have a very good view of the top. But I was not sitting...

How Do We Teach Our Children Forgiveness?
August 11, 2007
Lessons from the Amish The now infamous and often parodied line from an old movie went, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” I imagine this means if you really love someone you will never do or say anything to them you regret, or for which you need to apologize. We know that is nonsense, since we all are sinners and have not attained perfection. And besides, even when we do the “right” thing the other person may not think so and still expect an apology. It is so much more difficult...
