Jack Hibbs: Will You Obey God Or Follow His Own Reasoning

Some see Jonah as a story fit for Sunday School, but I think adults would be surprised at how much they can relate to him. Jonah faced a dilemma: obey God or follow his own reasoning. Jonah chose to skip town in the bowels of a ship where he fell asleep—no doubt assisted by the gentle lapping of the sea against the hull—until God brought a hellish storm.

Standing On The Promises: Powerful Demonstration Of God’s Faithfulness

Many of God’s 7,487 promises to man relate to Israel, its land, and its people. Whenever I speak with Christians about God’s promises to Israel, I remind them of this important truth: Because God is faithful to the Jewish people, He will be faithful to you. If He were to break His promises to Israel, what makes you think He would keep His promises to you? Everything we have as believers is wrapped up in the promises He gives us. Our confidence rests completely on the character of a faithful, unchanging, sovereign, promise-keeping God.

Skip Heitzig: A Moving Target Or Easy Prey

People who are not making progress in their spiritual walk are much easier for Satan to pick off. You're an easy target, like the stationary ones in the shooting gallery. But if you're making strides spiritually, he'll have a hard time bringing you down.

Does Prayer Really Do Anything?

When Noah prayed, God handed him a blueprint for the ark of deliverance. Moses prayed, and God delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Gideon prayed, and the host of formidable enemy fled in fear before his valiant, prayerful 300. Daniel prayed, and the mouths of the lions were closed. Elijah prayed, and the fire of God consumed the sacrifice and licked up the water around the altar. David prayed, and he defeated Goliath on the Philistine battleground.

Greg Laurie: The Primary Weapon To Resist Temptation

Oscar Wilde famously said, “I can resist anything but temptation.” But the fact is you can resist temptation because 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

Skip Heitzig: Crucified With Christ And Dead To The Law That Condemned Me

If someone's been found guilty of murder and given a life sentence, but dies while serving that sentence, will the justice system continue to enforce that judgment? No; the convicted person is no longer subject to that penalty. They're dead—they've been released from the sentence they were required to serve.

Jack Hibbs: Jumping At The Opportunities He Provides

We’ll brave risky activities like parachuting from an airplane for the thrill of it. Yet when it comes to eternal ventures, we pray, “O Lord, use me,” but draw back in fear. What we ought to do is pray and then jump! Jump to share the gospel, jump into ministry, and jump to serve others.

Fight, Flight, or Faith

This is not an occasional thing. Satan’s world system tries to put us all on a steady diet of fear. It pushes people into a fight-or-flight mode until they become so fatigued that all they can do is feel a general sense of anxiety, unease, and apprehension. People who once looked at the horizon with happy expectations today consider the future with quiet dread.

Ray Comfort: Fear Of The Lord — Misunderstood, Dismissed, And Despised

In today’s culture, the concept of the fear of the Lord is often misunderstood, dismissed, or even despised. Many view it as outdated or oppressive, associating it with an angry God who should be avoided. Yet, the fear of the Lord is a foundational biblical doctrine, essential to a proper relationship with God. It’s central to the teachings of Scripture, both in the Old and New Testaments. Proverbs 9:10 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Skip Heitzig: Another Gospel

Paul said, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7). They were going back to bondage, back to legalism. He was shocked that the gospel was being perverted so soon. And this is a warning for us: If it happened so soon back then, think of the world we live in now.

Greg Laurie: Fearlessly Faith For Such A Time As This

Who’s to say God hasn’t put you where you are right now for such a time as this? In whatever situation you find yourself, seize the moment. Do what you can. That’s what Esther boldly did. God says in Joshua 1:9, “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” If you are fearlessly faithful to God in the circumstances you find yourself in, He will accomplish amazing things in and through you.

Jack Hibbs: God Has Plans For Us, So The Devil Continues His Dirty Work

Now that you are a Christian and your soul is safe with Jesus, why does the devil bother to tempt you? Shouldn’t he concede defeat and move on? It is true that your soul has been rescued from hell, and Satan no longer has it as part of his collection. But the devil also knows you are dangerous to him and his propaganda campaign.

Skip Heitzig: Does God ‘Help Those Who Help Themselves’?

My dad used to say, "You know, son, the Bible says, 'God helps those who help themselves.'" I grew up believing that—until I read the Bible and discovered it doesn't say that anywhere. Most Americans also believe that; 52 percent of practicing Christians, in fact. It sounds reasonable, even logical. But it's just not there.

Barry Stagner: Enduring Hatred For His Name’s Sake

We see in Psalm 22 that even as David describes his own suffering, the Holy Spirit inspires him to write things that would become true of Jesus, God in human flesh, in even harsher reality! Through David’s words, we look ahead to the suffering of the Messiah, becoming the beneficiaries of having all of this laid out in these verses.

Jack Hibbs: In His Heavenly Presence

When death comes to the unbelieving man, it strips him of earthly comforts; his hopes vanish with his last breath. That thought is scary to some, but to those whose destination is heaven, it fills their minds and hearts with a “fullness of joy” foreign to this life.

Greg Laurie: Don’t Look Back

Some Christians take a similar approach to life. They’re always looking back. They say, “Remember the good old days—you know, before I was a Christian? Man, we would party! We had so much fun!” Have they forgotten the havoc their actions brought on their family? They’ve conveniently forgotten about those things and remember only the few good times they had.

Skip Heitzig: Why Religious People Are The Hardest To Reach

Religious people are the hardest people to reach. They hold to some understanding and acknowledgment of God but nothing on a personal level, nothing too authentic. And sometimes that religion—that ritualistic shell—keeps the truth from penetrating.

Will Graham: Why You Don’t Have to Be Afraid to Share Your Faith

Many of us have had missed opportunities similar to this over the years. One of my greatest regrets is that I didn’t share the love of Christ with a couple in front of me, even though I clearly felt the Holy Spirit calling me to do so. I still feel the burden of that inaction today.

Greg Laurie: The Powerful Testimony Of Christian Love

Before I became a believer, one of the things that attracted me to the Christian faith was the way Christians loved each other. I was raised in the 1960s, when the hippie and drug culture was coming on strong. We wore peace symbols and used words like groovy. We talked incessantly about love and peace. But it was a sham. There was no love or peace—at least, not as we envisioned it. It didn’t take me long to recognize the hypocrisy at the heart of the counterculture.

Jack Hibbs: God Is Calling You To Stand

“Stand therefore” (Ephesians 6:14). What an incredible challenge! It takes courage to stand. Yet before courage comes determination. Human calculations will always find a thousand reasonable reasons to stand down or quit, which may sound good, but are usually wrong.

Greg Laurie: Where the People Are

In John 4, Jesus visits a Samaritan village, meets a woman at a well, and talks to her. A simple story, right? No miracles, no healings, no drama. Perhaps, but this seemingly simple story is loaded with profound significance.

Will Graham: Five Characteristics Of A Mature And Growing Follower Of Jesus

My friends, be on guard against false teaching, align yourself with Christ, seek the things of Heaven, praise Him and—in service to Him—serve others. If you are a mature and growing follower of Jesus, these five characteristics should automatically flow out of you.

Skip Heitzig: Testimony Or Religious Résumé?

For Paul, gain and loss were like the profit and loss columns in an accounting ledger. Paul admitted that he had counted wrong for years (see Philippians 3:7-8). He spent his whole life working on his religious résumé, and he had all these things in the profit column. But then he realized he was bankrupt before God.

Jack Hibbs: An Era Of Unprecedented Learning… Void Of Wisdom

We live in an unprecedented era in which learning, and the acquisition of information have exploded beyond our wildest imagination. The world is virtually at our fingertips or voice command. Yet, we are none the better for our technological advances when it comes to possessing wisdom. Tragically, technology often pulls us downward into a vortex of darkness, and evil.

Greg Laurie: Why Satan’s Lies About The Resurrection Will Never Hold Up

Satan could do nothing to stop Jesus’ resurrection two thousand years ago. So, part of his strategy now is to make people doubt that Jesus really rose from the grave. He promotes lies, often cloaked in pseudoscience, to plant seeds of skepticism regarding the resurrection.

Mark Henry: What A Hero Looks Like In God’s Eyes

None of these possessed any supernatural abilities or space age technology that made them heroic; rather, they used their God-given gifts coupled with dauntless determination to utilize the time God gave them to make a difference in the world in the service of and for the glory of Christ. They were no different than you or me. But as their lives show, God can do extraordinary things using ordinary people who make themselves available.

Skip Heitzig: God Who Works In You

Christianity is more than just a decision to make Jesus your Savior. It's also a determination to walk with Jesus as your Lord. If you don't do that, you're going to become what so many in the church have become: pew potatoes—the spiritual equivalent of couch potatoes. They watch things happen, but they aren't "doers of the word" (James 1:22).

Jack Hibbs: Where Next, Lord?

God has established our life’s course, and that leads us to naturally assume that He knows where we ought to plant our feet. Our responsibility is to ask, “Where next, Lord?” I am convinced that God desires to lead us more than we could possibly imagine and that His voice goes out more frequently than we might have considered.

The Hinge-Point Of Human History: Bible Prophecy And The Birth Of The King of kings

In the long centuries since Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, a great nostalgic myth has arisen around His birth. Artists and songwriters have softened the circumstances of His arrival. It is a scene befitting a baby’s birth, with solemnity suitable for a king’s nativity. But those are not the circumstances foretold in Bible prophecy.

Will Graham: The Shepherds Of Ancient Israel — Proclamation Of The Messiah’s Arrival

I wonder if the shepherds collapsed to the ground during this overwhelming experience. We know they felt fear, of course, but imagine the flood of emotions as they begin to realize that the angel of the Lord is proclaiming the news of the arrival of the Messiah!

The Perfect Savior Sent to Save An Imperfect Humanity

Jesus stepped down into our atmosphere from His throne and set aside His crown of gold to briefly wear a crown of thorns and offer his life as a ransom for many. He did this so that we might believe, be saved, and one day wear the crown of life.

Will Graham: Four Serious Consequences Of Turning Your Back On Christ

As an evangelist, I take sharing the Word of God and the hope of Jesus Christ very seriously. The way I look at it, eternity is at stake every time I stand up at the podium. When eternity is on the line—the difference between Heaven and hell—I don’t pull punches. People need to know that both are real, literal places, and surrendering one’s life to Jesus is the difference.

Skip Heitzig: Atheism Has Slain Its Thousands, But Procrastination, Its Tens Of Thousands

In Acts 16, the Philippian jailer asked Paul, "What must I do to be saved?" (v. 30). And he said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (v. 31). But there's another question. "What must I do to be lost?" Answer: absolutely nothing. Don't turn to Christ. Don't make a choice. Put it off. That's why I say atheism has slain its thousands, but procrastination, its tens of thousands.
