     | 1,903 views

    Joe Bayly had a chance to stay in the luxurious Hilton Hotel in Chicago. It was going to be a treat of a retreat, but then he was hit again by the x-factor.

     | 1,553 views

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
     | 1,318 views

  • The Paradox Of Blessing Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
     | 1,366 views

    Doing your best could be the worst thing you could do. That sounds like a contradiction, but it can be explained so that it makes sense as a paradox.

    One of the most incredible biographies ever written is that of Robert Babcock. As a young boy he made a bomb out of some powder he found in his father's barn. He had a hard time getting it to go off, but when it finally did, it blew up in his face and he was instantly blinded, and remained so ...read more

  • The Foolishness Of The Cross Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
     | 3,081 views

  • When Opposites Are The Same Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
     | 1,200 views

     | 5,360 views

    Here in Isa. 66:13 God says to His people who have suffered His judgment: "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you." God is impressed with motherhood, and especially her ability to comfort her child.

  • Proverbs Ideal Mother 2 Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
     | 3,001 views

    Harry Houdini as a young 20 year old performer, still years away from fame, met an 18 year old singer named Wilhalmina Rohnes. She sat in the front row of his performance and he spilled a glass of colored liquid that spotted her dress. To make amends he got her to give him her measurements. He ...read more

     | 2,780 views

    Jesus never complimented anyone in a higher way than her, and yet she was a nobody. She was not the wife of a great man, or the mother of outstanding children. We don't even know her name. Her only claim to fame was her faith, for it was great, and it was motivated by her love as a mother.
