    Fanatic For Jesus Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021
     | 1,756 views

    Paul's point is that when your life is devoted to the highest you can't lose, for even if you die it is not loss, but gain. Fanaticism for Christ is the only perfect fanaticism, for it is the only fanaticism that is a no lose situation.

    In Tiger Of The Snows Tenzig Norgay is a fanatic for mountain climbing. He and a British companion were going to climb Mt. Everest. His wife did not share his enthusiasm, and she felt he was obsessed. "You are a dare devil," she said, "And you care nothing about what your death ...read more

    My earliest childhood memories of being in church are of the rope that I could ride. The thick rope hung down through the ceiling in the church entry way. I was so little that when the rope was pulled to ring the bell in the belfry, I could hang on to it and get a ride as it would pull me up off ...read more

    The Sacrificial Perspective Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021
     | 2,138 views

    Selfishness does not care about the interests of others. It focuses on the self only. To give up this focus at all is to sacrifice some time, energy, thought, and possibly even some resources for the needs of others.

    One of the major causes of human suffering is the fact that people see life from many different perspectives.

    Back in the 60's, a movie was made telling the story of a man, who, like Job, got so discouraged that he wished he had never been born.
