Don’t Let Discouragement Bully You
Too often we let ourselves get pushed around by discouragement. I’ll never overcome this particular sin. My child will never come to faith in Christ. What if God doesn’t provide for me this time? Is my life going anywhere? Does God really have good plans for me? We let thoughts like these push us around, discourage, and [...]

“It is the saints’ duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that his almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.” — William Gurnall Ask any Christian if they believe God is [...]

DT 29.29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. There are many profound and perplexing mysteries in life, like why could the Steelers win the Super Bowl [...]

7 December 2009
I want instant answers to my prayers. Why can’t my prayers be like pop-tarts? Unwrap ‘em, pop ‘em in the toaster, and zingo, answers. I don’t want to have to have patience. In fact, I never pray for patience, because I know that the only way for God to build patience into me is to [...]

18 November 2009
“Whether to [work] or to suffer for our Lord, we must have strength from above, and that strength can come to us only through faith. The remarkable mighty saints of Hebrews 11 accomplished all their feats by a power that was not in them by nature. They were not naturally strong either to do or [...]

Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s….Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.” (2 CH 20.15, 17) When we face a “great [...]

5 October 2009
Faith looks past intimidating circumstances to the God who is greater than our circumstances and in control of them. Imagine a bully threatening a child. The bully snarls and growls and the child trembles before him. The bully’s huge in the child’s eyes until he sees his father walking up quietly behind the intimidator who is [...]

17 August 2009
Too often we try to figure out how God will keep his promises. Like predicting how the game Mouse Trap will work. “If God turns this gear, then the ball will roll down this channel and trip that switch, which will turn that wheel, thus dropping the answer to my prayers.” We try to imagine [...]

21 July 2009
What does it take to discover God’s will for your life? And when you’ve found it, how can you be sure that you’ve found it? Will you feel a burning sensation in your chest, like some sort of divine Vick’s Vapor Rub? Will you have an unshakable sense of peace? Will you see a sign [...]

16 July 2009
Unbelief does terrible things to people, like turn them into raving lunatics. Don’t believe me? Look at what it did to the Israelites. They had been rescued by God from the hand of Egypt and were on the verge of entering the Promised Land. But when Israelite spies brought back reports of enemies on steroids, [...]
