• If I Believe Why Do I Doubt? - 47 : 29 - DOWNLOAD
  Ray Pritchard (Jan 30, 2009)
  Doubt does have its uses. Deep doubt is often the prelude to an even deeper faith. I love the way one writer expresses it: “Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving."It is a wonderful truth that the greatest doubters often become the strongest believers. And honest doubts — once resolved — often become the bedrock of an unshakable faith.
• Don’t You Believe in Miracles? - 45 : 13 - DOWNLOAD
  Ray Pritchard (Jan 23, 2008)
  We are fully justified in asking God to work miracles on behalf of our loved ones. But God doesn’t limit himself to our understanding of what our loved ones need most. He is fully able to do spectacular miracles today just as he did in Bible times. But more often he gives strength to the weary and courage to the fainting and hope to those who feel like giving up. God’s miracles come in more than one variety, a truth we can experience every day.
