“You have never been this way before,” God said to Joshua as the children of Israel were preparing to go into the land of Canaan (Joshua 3:4). These words came before they went in, and I am gripped by their tenderness. God knows where we have never been and where we are going. He told Joshua this …
Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat-they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food-for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. —Matthew 6:26 (TLB) Some section hands on a British railroad found a thrush’s nest under a rail. Peacefully …
Within the last month or so, two high-profile Christian influencers publicly walked back their belief that Jesus Christ is Lord. One renounced his faith; another said he’s losing his. Maybe you’re in the same boat. Maybe you look at your faith in Christ and wonder, What’s the point? But maybe, even more troubling, you aren’t sure where to …
“If Christianity is true, then why are most of the so-called “Christians” I know hypocrites? I’d rather be a complete unbeliever (which is what I am) than someone who claims to be a Christian but doesn’t act like it. At least I try to be a good person, and they don’t.”
“If Christianity is true, then why doesn’t everybody believe it? I think the reason is because we can’t really know anything about God, and one person’s ideas about God are just as good as someone else’s.”
“Can you be a real Christian and still have doubts from time to time? Sometimes my faith is very strong, but then I’ll begin to wonder if I’m just fooling myself, and my doubts begin to take over.”
Today, pastors who stand for Biblical truth regarding homosexuality may find themselves facing hard choices about whether or not to remain in positions that could compromise their obedience to God’s Word. Rico Tice, senior minister for evangelism at All Souls, Langham Place, has experienced this challenge
From a message preached Aug. 21, 1963, during the three-and-a-half week Crusade at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Many people are asking today, “What is wrong with our world?” Our newspapers are filled with murder, rape, hate, lust, bombings, race against race, war. Can we not solve our problems? Is there an answer? Look inside of you—sense the …
Certain laws of evidence hold in the establishment of any historic event. Documentation of the event in question must be made by reliable contemporary witnesses. There is more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than there is that Julius Caesar ever lived, or that Alexander the Great died at the age of 33. It …
Many jokes are made about the devil, but the devil is no joke. If a short time ago I had talked about Satan to university students, they would have made light of him, but no longer. Students today want to know about the devil, about witchcraft, about the occult. Many people do not know they …
Ours is an age of philosophical uncertainty, and we no longer know what we believe. We stand uncommitted. Everywhere I go, I ask students, “What is controlling you?” When I was a student, I had to face Christ. Who was He? He had made the astounding claim, “I am the way, the truth, and the …
On the cover of your Bible and my Bible appear the words “Holy Bible.” Do you know why the Bible is called holy? Why should it be called holy when so much lust and hate and greed and war are found in it? It is because the Bible tells the truth. It tells the truth …
