Phoebe The Deaconess Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Phoebe was a deaconess in a town about 8 miles from Corinth. She was likely a wealthy widow, and like Lydia was able to travel because of her independence and resources. Such women have been key people in the progress of the church all through history.

In May of 1972 deacons from Baptist churches throughout Virginia gathered for a special conference dealing with the work of the deacon. The leader noted a number of women in the crowd. He welcomed them as wives of the deacons. He was quickly set straight when it was pointed out to him that they ...read more

The Pleasure Of Progress Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Every Christian is to be pressing on to gain that more in Christ that can never be exhausted. Progress is to be a permanent part of the Christian life. There is no level where we have arrived at the end of our potential.

Spain once controlled both sides of the Mediterranean Sea at the Straits Of Gibraltar. On her coins were stamped the two Pillars Of Hercules.

A New Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

God is infinite, and therefore, only infinite creativity is worthy of Him, and adequate to glorify His name. It is also essential to keep joy alive in the worshipper. Variety is the spice of life, and a new song is like a tonic that lifts and enables us to feel afresh the love that is always there.

It is easy for us to do what the psalmist urges us to do, "Sing to the Lord a new song." The number of new songs to sing today is enormous. Back in 1891 Dr. Julian in his famous Dictionary of Hymnology examined four hundred thousand hymns, and he did not cover them all. There are, ...read more

Becoming World Class Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

God was the God of Israel and Jonah wanted to keep it that way. He did not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry of the pagan world finding out about the real God. Let them perish with their stupid man-made idols. That is what they deserve.

Trying to be a world class Christian can be a world class pain. Ralph Hult learned this the hard way. This Nebraska born Swede at age 32 went to Africa as a missionary, but on his first furlough in 1926 he was told there was no money to send him back. So he started a fruit farm near ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 28, 2021

The lights shine brightly. I can hardly see in fact. The window is in front of me, pouring light. But I can't see. My mind is infatuated, obsessed. A kind of dementia overcomes me. I can't help but look.
