The Woman With Weak Eyes
Contributed on Jun 2, 2023
Because of her "ugliness" (weak eyes) Leah was unnoticed, unwanted & unloved… and unmarried. She was literally a rejected woman. How did God help her overcome her rejection?
A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady. You’re ugly.” Well, the woman was deeply offended, and she stormed out of the store. But on her way home, she thought she’d ...read more

The Promise And The Problem
Contributed on May 26, 2023
Abraham was a great man of faith... but not always. Sometimes his struggles with believing God's promises undermined his life and his family. But what did God do when Abraham struggled?
A preacher who was new to town and had dropped off his suit at the dry-cleaners. Later that week, he came back to pick up his suit, and the woman behind the counter said. “That will be $10.50.” “Oh my,” said the preacher. “I only have $9.

Sin That Crouched At The Door
Contributed on May 19, 2023
Why would Cain kill Abel, and what can we learn from his failure?
Years ago when I was at Purdue I decided to read the Bible for myself. So, I bought myself a Bible Commentary, and a Bible Dictionary, and I made a deal with God: I told Him I’d read everything but the poetry, the prophecy, and the “who-begat-whos.” I set my Bible and study books out where I ...read more

The Power Of The Presence
Contributed on May 13, 2023
When Jesus told us we needed to tell others about our faith in Him, did He leave us to do it all by ourselves? Or does God help us when we witness?
About 350 years before Christ was born in Bethlehem, there was a man they called Alexander the Great. Over a period of 15 years Alexander the Great was in almost constant warfare and conquered most of known world.

Prime Number
Contributed on May 7, 2023
On Friend Day we looked at many of the numbers that are important to God. But there is ONE number that I believe is more important than all the others. Do you know what that number is, and why it is a "prime" number for Him?
Today is May 7th, 2023 – or 5-7-23. Those are all PRIME numbers, which means you can’t divide them by 2, 3, 4, or anything else. Primes are numbers that can only be divided by themselves and 1. Now, I’ve never given much thought to “prime” numbers, but there is an entire discipline of mathematics ...read more

Because of that power, I can plug lamps, fans, microwaves and phone chargers into it and magically empower those devises.

It’s like a man having a deadly disease. He experiencing distressing physical problems but doesn’t KNOW he’s going to die ...read more
