Summary

What do you do when God’s plans make zero sense to you? Pastor Juan Martinez delivers a powerful message that will shift how you see the “crazy” moments in your life. Drawing from Isaiah 55:8-9, 1 Corinthians 2:14, and the incredible truth of being born again in John 3, he shows why God’s ways will always look impossible, illogical, and even foolish to human eyes — until suddenly they become the most incredible miracles you’ve ever seen.Whether it’s a promise that seems too big, a step of faith that scares you, or a transformation no one thought was possible, this message reminds us that walking by faith (not by sight) is precisely how God turns dead things into new life. If you’ve ever been afraid to obey because it “doesn’t make sense,” this is for you. God is still in the business of doing immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

Rollock then explains the relationship between the written Scriptures and what he terms the "lively voice" heard in other ages, pre-empting what would later become the Quaker-Puritan debates. B.B. Warfield gives a 'best of' John Arrowsmith's Armilla Catechetica (two of Arrowsmith's sermons to the English parliament during the First English Civil War appear at the end of this collection).

This is followed by Stephen Charnock's and John Bunyan's dying aphorisms.

This pithy phrase is from Jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr's essay on Natural Law, one of twenty nonfiction pieces chosen by their readers for inclusion in volume 087. Selections from Pascal, Josiah Royce, and C.S. Peirce also delve philosophical themes. Builders, warriors, artists, and activists, the many faces of mankind, are illuminated in selections on Ferdinand De Lesseps, Stanislaus Koniecpolski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, Mark Twain, Charlie Chaplin, Frederic Edwin Church, the 14th century citizens of Liège, who vanquished Sir Radus' castle, and Simon Pokagon's The Red Man's Rebuke. Major moments in U.S. history are visited in the Civil War Battle of Chickamauga and the Great Chicago Fire. An oft forgotten player in history, the mule, is not neglected, nor are the small turning points along the road of life, epitomized by a New England farm auction.
