Gifts Unlimited Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

He chose Patrick Henry as his ideal. It was not long before the subject of Patrick Henry was becoming obnoxious to those ...read more

Getting Life Right: No Rules, Just Right Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

I want to call your attention to the fact that Jesus says in verse 13 that the throne of Satan was in that city. He ends the verse by saying Satan lives there. So here is the city where Satan lives, and where he has his throne. This is none other than the capital of hell.

Is there any truth to the popular idea that hell is right here on earth? There were a lot of Minnesotans who believed it in Jan. of 1873. The morning of the 8th was beautiful and the snow was melting. Masses of people made plans to travel, visit, and shop. But about 4 in the afternoon the wind ...read more
