Sanctified Silence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Silence has the advantage of being a two way street. By silence we speak to God, and also allow Him to speak to us. Silence is both saying something, and listening to something being said.

You can learn in silence what sound can never teach you. Howard Thurman tells of one of his University students who was a deep sea diver. He wrote of his experience of being on the bottom of the ocean. The water was clear and he was in the midst of a coral rock garden. He sat down to look around. ...read more

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on May 15, 2021

The Greatest Voice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

There is no greater joy than hearing Jesus call, for there is no greater voice than His.

We often long for things to happen that would frighten us into wishing they would not have happened. One of these things is that God would talk to us directly in an audible voice.

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more
