Send us Fan Mail  If Christ will soon rapture His church, and God will pour out His wrath on this world in great tribulation, then the question Peter asks is a good one: “What manner of persons ought you to be?” Francis Shaffer asked it this way: “How shall we then live?” If these are indeed the Last Days, shouldn’t we live with awareness and with authenticity?

Send us Fan Mail When I was a child, I saw the Hal Lindsey movie, The Late Great Planet Earth, and it terrified me. The Bible’s revelation of the Last Days are not meant to be a terror to God’s people – in fact, Paul said, “Encourage one another with these words.” Now, for the unbeliever, a study of the Last Days should be taken as a warning, but the believer should receive it as a wake-up call. T...

Send us Fan Mail As children we sang, I may never march in the infantry / Ride in the cavalry / Shoot the artillery / I may never shoot for the enemy / But I'm in the Lord's army! Then we’d shout, Yes, Sir! You are indeed a soldier in the Lord’s Army. And we go to battle every day. Sadly, the front lines are in every direction. But gladly, “Greater is He Who is in me than he who is in th...

Send us Fan Mail You have an enemy. And it’s not a member of your family. Neither is it a church member you don’t get along with. It is the devil. Not the cartoon one with the red union suit and pitchfork, but the real one. The Bible says that he skulks this earth hunting down Christians whom he can devour. The good news is that he doesn’t have any new tricks in his bag, plus he is already defeate...

Send us Fan Mail  I once heard Adrian Rogers tell the story of a frog watching a gaggle of geese prepare to fly south for the winter. The frog asked to go with them, but the geese said they had no way of toting him. So the frog gathered one long, sturdy stick, and asked one goose to put one end in his mouth and another goose to put the other end in his mouth. Then the frog could hold on with his m...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know what made the devil the devil? And what made Adam eat that fruit? And what has been the cause of every war, every conflict, even every argument in the home? It is pride. Pride is dangerous. And the Bible says that God hates our pride. So, why do we struggle with it so much? Because we’ve not learned just how perilous pride really is.  

Send us Fan Mail You may wish that God would give you a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide you in the ways He wants you to go. Actually, He has given you something better. He has given you Himself, His Spirit, living inside of you, never leaving you and never forsaking you, being with you always even to the end of the age. And He has given you His Word, complete and errorless, as...

Send us Fan Mail Some foodie once said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take the fork.” Seriously though, what do you do when you come to one of life’s forks in the road? Maybe that fork is about moving to a new town or maybe taking a new job or saying yes to a proposal. How do you know what you’re supposed to do? God answered that for His wandering people by giving them Himself, by guiding...

Send us Fan Mail An amazing declaration ends Nehemiah 10. The people say, “We will not neglect the house of our God.” In the same ways that they meant that, we should mean that. The issues they address are the very issues dearest to us today. Let’s not neglect His house. I think you’ll see that your life is the better for it.

Send us Fan Mail God had been good to Nehemiah and his people – He had been miraculously good to them. So they rightly decided to live a life of gratitude and obedience to the Lord. They even signed a covenant among themselves committing themselves to a godly lifestyle. As they came to the end of what that covenant contained, they declared, “We will not neglect the house of our God.” Should we cho...

Send us Fan Mail Nahum’s prophecy comes against a people whom God had delivered from judgment and saved just a century earlier. One of the most remarkable revivals and spiritual awakenings occurred in Nineveh following the preaching of Jonah. Now, they have gotten away from the Lord and have once again become oppressors of His people. And it is the character of God that causes Him to act on their...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus said, “In this world, you will have trouble.” And we have learned even from personal experience that that is true. The question is not whether you will have trouble; the question concerns where you will seek help in the midst of your trouble. Too many people look to themselves or someone – or something – in this world as the source of their help. Why would they look to the v...

Send us Fan Mail  From the deepest, darkest hole, you can find help from the One True Living God. From the most barren, isolated island, you still have a Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Don’t fool yourself or waste your time waiting for the systems of this world to come to your rescue. There is One Savior, One Deliverer, One Rescuer. From Him you should seek help. When you’re hanging on b...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes when we read the Bible, we like to cut to the parts that appear to be more personally applicable. The parts that speak to our situation. The commands we are given to follow. The warning we had best avoid. But the Scriptures primarily reveal to us the character and nature of God. Maybe those are portions to ponder. It is important to identify the character of our God.

Send us Fan Mail Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Among the many marvelous things that salt does, it is a preservative. We are the preservative in a world that is decaying morally right in front of our very eyes. God’s answer is not in the White House, but in the church house. Live the salt-life.

Send us Fan Mail Feeling both scared and powerless is familiar to those who received a bad diagnosis or those who have lost a job or those whose wayward child has run away. Your circumstances don’t take God by surprise. He has already prepared you to face that circumstance by faith, by trusting Him. That’s the Lesson of the Loaves that every believer needs to learn.

Send us Fan Mail There may not be a more desperate feeling than the combination of being scared and powerless. The disciples found themselves in that condition in the middle of a storm at sea. Yes, Jesus came to their rescue, but the truth is that He had already prepared them to face that storm with faith through what He had done by feeding the 5,000. The Bible says they had not understood about t...

Send us Fan Mail Marriage God’s way may not be easy, but it is blessed. It is easier to build a home with His blessing than it is to fight God and try to hold on in your own strength. The prophet Malachi has some straight-forward news about God’s feelings on this subject.

Send us Fan Mail The Christian home is under attack. It always has been. But the enemy is no longer launching sneak attacks but full-frontal terroristic attacks. And he comes at us from a variety of angles. There is no shortage of those who attempt to undermine God’s plan for marriage. But be strong. This is a fight you are in. And this is a fight you can win.

Send us Fan Mail It is in this episode of eternal interaction between Jesus and the wee little man, Zacchaeus, that we hear Jesus declare His mission loud and clear: “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” That’s good news for Zacchaeus; that’s good news for us.  

Send us Fan Mail We learned the song about Zacchaeus, a wee little man, way back in preschool, but the Bible story isn’t kid-sized. It’s God-sized. It is the story of how God intentionally brings salvation to the life of a person everyone else had counted out. We get to see desire and determination fleshed out in this story, the desire and determination of both Zacchaeus and the Lord Jesus.

Send us Fan Mail The scapegoat is a vivid image of God’s vast forgiveness. To place the sins of the people symbolically on that goat then have it sent out into the wilderness so far that it never returns and is never found reminds us that our sins are removed from us as far as the east is from the west. And that was done for us not by a goat who was a mere symbol, but of Christ who literally bore...

Send us Fan Mail  Arguably, the greatest of all the Jewish feasts and holidays is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Every year, the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies with the blood of the sacrifice and pour it onto the Mercy Seat, providing atonement for himself, the Temple, and all the people. But there is far more to that day than that simplistic explanation. Let’s explore it deeper tha...

Send us Fan Mail Lamentations is such a unique Book. Its name reveals to me that it’s not going to be a carnival ride. But right in the middle of this book of tears, is the gladdest, most joyful set of verses you’ll find anywhere. These verse spark hope in the midst of darkness. It is in those times we learn that great indeed is God’s faithfulness.
