Where happiness actually comes from
Practically everyone is searching for happiness. It's even our Declaration of Independence, which says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But what is this happiness that… → Read More
How to weather the storms of life
God is with you in everything no matter what. You can’t stop the storm. But you can reach for God’s hand and find it. → Read More
On awakenings, revivals and the church
The last Great Spiritual Awakening in America took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s. And on their June 21, 1971, cover, Time magazine called it the Jesus Revolution. That was more than 50 years ago, and I see a lot of parallels between then and now. It was a divided nation back then,… → Read More
Is Asbury University the beginning of the next 'Jesus Revolution?'
As people see this film about the most profound spiritual awakening of our day, we hope and pray for God to do it again. → Read More
The proper posture, place and time for prayer? Yes!
The longer I live, the more thankful I am that God has not answered all my prayers in the affirmative. When I was a kid, I would say, "Lord, this is what I want. This is what you must do in my life." Maybe you can recall a time when you asked God to do… → Read More
The secret of happiness
Many live with the misconception that the Christian life is dull, uptight, and colorless. People associate Christianity with the fun things they’re not allowed to do, yet really have no idea what it’s all about. → Read More
The motivation of Heaven – the Christian's real home
Bible commentator E.M. Bounds wrote, "Heaven ought to draw and engage us. Heaven ought to so fill our hearts and hands, our manner and our conversation, our character and our features, that all would see that we are foreigners, strangers to this world. … Heaven is our native land and home to us, and death… → Read More
There are no spiritual plateaus
There never comes a moment in the Christian life when you reach a spiritual plateau. There are obstacles that Christians always will face, obstacles that never go away. And there is never a time when a Christian doesn't need to grow spiritually. The moment that we try to find the way to easy street or… → Read More
Want to be used by God? Develop compassion
Everywhere Jesus went during his earthly ministry, people mobbed him. They pushed and pulled, always wanting something from him. For instance, there was the woman with medical problems who spent all her money on doctors and still was sick. And Jairus, a leader of a synagogue, came to him because his daughter was seriously ill.… → Read More
Prepare to die by living for Christ
In 2011, an inventor presented his idea for a unique alarm clock on the television show "Shark Tank." The clock, called Wake n' Bacon, was designed to start cooking bacon just before the alarm went off so that its owner could wake up to the aroma of sizzling bacon. What wakes you up in the… → Read More
The shepherds: Why their story still matters
"Don't be afraid!" This is what the angel said to the shepherds who were watching their flocks on the night of Christ's birth. And how relevant those words are for us today. People are afraid right now. They have financial fears, health fears, political fears and fears about their personal safety. There are so many… → Read More
Christmas warm and fuzzy? It's actually about conflict
This may come as a shock to some, but Christmas is not about love, peace, harmony and sipping hot cocoa with family around a crackling fire. Christmas is actually about conflict. It always has been, and it always will be. In the New Testament book of Revelation, we find a passage that unexpectedly deals with… → Read More
God does extraordinary things through ordinary people
In Israel today, you can still see the ruins of various structures that King Herod erected. Everything Herod built had sizable walls, because he thought everyone was out to get him. And he would put to death anyone he perceived as a threat. Herod was a miserable tyrant during some very dark days in the… → Read More
3 Truths to Make Every Day Thanksgiving —
With these in mind, we can take Paul's admonition seriously and "rejoice always." → Read More
'Thanksgiving Day' should have an 'S' on the end
One of the wonderful things about Thanksgiving is that it's a uniquely American holiday. It doesn't commemorate a battle, a birthday, or an anniversary. It's a day set aside with the specific purpose of giving thanks to God. Regardless of what the revisionists tell you, many of our founding fathers were committed Christians. Even among… → Read More
With God, delays aren't necessarily denials
Have you ever been in a situation so bleak that it seemed as though it would never change? Maybe things were going wonderfully in your life, and then suddenly you were hit with a severe illness or the loss of a loved one. You wondered how you would get through it. In the New Testament… → Read More
God's antidote to worry
Wouldn't it be great if we could just pick up the phone and talk to God? In a sense we can. We can talk to him through prayer. Prayer is something that we all need to be doing. It's a privilege and an adventure. And the Bible says that we should "pray without ceasing" (1… → Read More

4 ways we can break the 3rd Commandment
Among the Ten Commandments, one of the most misunderstood is the third one: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7 NKJV). This is also one of the most easily broken commandments because it's… → Read More
The spiritual no-man's land
Over the course of the notorious feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys, more than 100 men, women and children from these families were killed. The irony was that no one could pinpoint the exact incident that started the long-standing dispute. Some thought it was because the McCoys sympathized with the Union in the Civil… → Read More
