Bending the Twig

Having a to-do list is a good thing. From God's great, timeless perspective, how we do our to-do's, and for whom we do our to-do's is also of great importance and in this talk Mrs. Cantrell distills much of what she has learned through the years about keeping things relationship-based.

You never know when the need will arise for good manners. That's why mannerly conduct ought to be second nature--especially for believers! In this everyday way, Christ uses us as an influence for Him rather than being the ones influenced merely.

"Without Me, ye can do nothing." "Christ liveth in me!" "I am crucified with Christ!" "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Such things are true. They are true whether I believe them or not. But whether or not I believe them affects how I think.
