The Crying Of The Wolf At Midnight

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

There is a crying in the night. A quiet lament of the soul. You can sense it at three in the morning, and the hour of the wolf is upon you. All the thoughts of life and the daily parade rumble through like a freight train.

James The Practical Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Successful Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Don't Waste Anything Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

James says to Christians who are struggling with life's adversities-don't waste anything in life-not even your negative experiences, for they contain great potential.

Persistently Patient Series

All our lives we are being tested on our ability to wait. Those who fail to learn early become candidates for insanity. Nothing is more frustrating than to have an impatient mind in a world where you cannot control all that is necessary to fulfill all your desires and dreams. Gutzon Borglum, who ...read more
