The Reversal Of Revenge

Universal Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

We may not see them very often, but they are out there in the world, and they have always been there, and in our day there number is increasing. I am not talking about UFO's but about those women who are wise in the ways of the world of wealth, and, thus, are rich and successful women ...read more

What Do You Do With A Dead Jesus? Series

Alone, Yet Not Alone Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

The title of my message is a paradox, for to say, alone, yet not alone seems to contradict itself. How can two opposites be true? How can one be alone and yet not alone at the same time?

Divine holiness is that chief nature which God himself is. Particularly, God the Father. Divine holiness is who God is, fundamentally.
