The Pearl of Great Price

Have you ever thought that Lot may have left Abraham because of the failures that he had seen in Abraham's personal life? For sons and daughters who are tempted sometimes to turn away from their parents, Mr. Bates helps us to look above and beyond our "Abraham" to the God of Abraham.

Gil Bates brings home a paradoxical proverb written directly to men: Proverbs 16:32. In this verse, Almighty God warns men that there is one virtue more valuable to families than any display of might or valor. Strength in this one area prevents untold destruction, division, and bodily injury.

What do we do when life and God don't seem to make sense? The prophet Elijah certainly encountered this tumultuous question at several junctures scattered throughout his life and ministry.

Listen and be encouraged as Gil Bates shares story after story of how God provided for him and his family because of their resolve to build a life message on His unchanging principles.
