Wise as Serpents, Harmless as Doves

The classic parable of the potter's pot. Though it may take a bit of imagination, this short message from the Children's Institute serves to illustrate God's sovereignty and care.

Dr. Larry Guthrie and his family loved outdoor activities. For Larry, this included most everything except running a race.

The truth is the truth. You and your audience will always be better off when your message is founded on the truth. Your audience will also be grateful however if you make sure to make the truth memorable for them. There are innumberable ways of making a single truth memorable!

As Larry Guthrie illustrates, effectiveness comes at a very high cost—a personal cost. To make a point for someone else requires the accuracy, simplicity and practical application that grow out of my own real relationship with the Savior.
