From Bethany’s 2007 Annual Fall Meeting: Elder Sonny Pyles, Friday 10/26 (Download)
Elder Pyles opens by warning briefly of the dangers of “moralistic, therapeutic Deism” arising lately in America. His main subject is the need for believers in God to do what they can even as they pray for His aid. This message is an antidote to fatalism and a beautiful study of providence in practice.
Due to the length of the message, inline playback is not available. Please download to listen.
