Sermons on Slight Thing For God:

God's Discipline

Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

Learning From God's Providence

Contributed by Charles Scott on Jun 22, 2017
