What makes you feel truly loved by your spouse? Dennis Prager explores a deceptively simple question: What is the one or two things your husband or wife could do that would most assure you of their love?

In this episode of The Bible Explained, Job's intense suffering and emotional turmoil come to the forefront: Job's consumed by his grief, cursing the day of his birth and the night of his conception, wishing he'd never even existed. Job invokes those who rouse up Leviathan to help him curse his birthday. Since Job can't erase himself, he wishes to have been born stillborn. But since Job can't go b...

Isaiah 49:15-16 meets our fear with one of Scripture's most intimate declarations. God asks whether a mother could forget the nursing child she loves. It is almost an absurd question, the bond so strong it seems impossible to break. And then He says: even if that were possible, I would not forget you. And He gives us an image to remember: He has written our names on the palms of His hands. We are...

Today's Bible Verse: "So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me." — Acts 27:25 (NIV) Where does courage come from when you're facing fear, uncertainty, or circumstances you can't control? Acts 27:25 shows Paul encouraging those around him because he believed God would fulfill His promise. His courage didn't come from having an easy situation or kn...

Have you ever stopped to think about who your pastor turns to when life gets hard? Ministry leaders carry the struggles of others while often facing pressures, expectations, and challenges of their own.

Si alguien los persigue, no lo maldigan; al contrario, bendíganlo. Si alguien se alegra, alégrense con él; si alguien está triste, acompáñenlo en su tristeza. Vivan en armonía unos con otros. No sean arrogantes, sino traten como iguales a la gente humilde ¡y no se hagan como que lo saben todo! Nunca le paguen a nadie mal con mal. Al contrario, busquen hacerles el bien a todos. Procuren, en lo que...

What does it mean to say, “The Lord is my portion”? When life feels uncertain, we can be tempted to measure security by what we own, accomplish, or can control.

What is Jesus asking us to do with the good news we've received? In the first episode of our new five-week series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson takes us to Mark 4 and the parable of the growing seed. Jesus describes a farmer who scatters seed, trusts that it will grow, and eventually returns for the harvest. We may not understand exactly how God works in someone's heart, or what th...

When God does a completed work in our lives, it is like a fine pearl. Some wear their pearls for all to see. Others treasure them quietly within the chambers of the heart. Both responses are understandable — the things God does in our lives are often deeply personal and sometimes hard to put into words. But what if the story you have been quietly holding is exactly what someone else needs to hear...

Jordan St. Cyr grew up in Niverville, Manitoba, a town of about 1,200 people with six churches in it. He says a place that small keeps people's radar for what's fake and what's real very keen, and that's why his music has to be honest, conversational, almost blue collar. His dad was the worship pastor. His mom worked in children's ministry. There was never a dramatic conversion moment, just a home...
