Summary

We are stuck in the losing game of comparisons. The temptation to compare our lives to others is ever-present, and the envy and jealousy it creates makes us miserable. And since it is hard enough to fight comparison when things are going well, how much harder is it when we experience unfair difficulty and suffering? David's praying in Psalm 17 helps us to learn how to play the Comparison Game a completely different way. In this prayer David cries out to the Lord for justice, favor, and deliverance as he is suffering unjustly at the hands of his enemies.

Kootenai Church Morning Worship: 1 Peter Dave Rich 1 Peter was written to teach us how to remain faithful and content in the midst of the heavy trials of our mortal life on earth, this "time of your sojourn." We are taught the purpose and character of trials, seeing in them the sanctifying work of the Spirit revealing the genuineness of our God-given and, therefore, invincible, enduring faith.This series of messages was part of an exposition of the book of 1 Peter by Dave Rich, a pastor at Kootenai Community Church. Rainbow Trail, The by Zane Grey (1872 - 1939) LibriVox The Rainbow Trail is a sequel to The Riders of the Purple Sage. Both novels are notable for their protagonists' mild opposition to Mormon polygamy, but in The Rainbow Trail this theme is treated more explicitly. The plots of both books revolve around the victimization of women in the Mormon culture: events in Riders of the Purple Sage are centered on the struggle of a Mormon woman who sacrifices her wealth and social status to avoid becoming a junior wife of the head of a local church, while The Rainbow Trail contrasts the older Mormons with the rising generation of Mormon women who will not tolerate polygamy and Mormon men who do not seek it.
