What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more

The Greatest Warning Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

The most dangerous thing a believer can do in life is to ignore what they have heard and neglect the great salvation they have in Jesus.

God began human history with a warning. He told Adam and Eve that if they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they would surely die. Failure to heed that warning led to the fall of man, and failure to heed warnings has ever since led to all of the sin and folly of human ...read more

The Eternal City: A Real Place? What Will It Be Like?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

The Universal Tool Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Our vacation made us all the more aware of this obvious truth, for everyday we had to make decisions about where we would eat. In Fort Lauderdale where we stayed there is a place to eat every few feet, and along the ...read more

Madness Meets Its Master Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

There are many implications that grow out of this unique demonstration of Christ's Lordship, but the primary lesson concerns that Lordship itself. Jesus makes it as clear as possible that He has come to destroy the works of the devil.
