Haven Today

When the nations gather in the Bible, it’s often to oppose what God is doing. At the Olympics, nations gather to compete.

People called him the Flying Scotsman. Eric Liddell won gold 100 years ago this month, but his greatest challenges were yet to come.

As the Olympic Games begin, one can't help but remember the man from Scotland who ran a hundred years ago. Chariots of Fire gave him a legacy, but Eric Liddell ran for God's glory.

Every nation, tribe, and tongue, gathered together as one people. No, it’s not the Olympics. It’s the finish line of the Great Commission. Sometimes we get a foretaste of what’s to come.

Peace is more than the absence of conflict. It’s bigger, it’s better, and it’s a gift from God to all who belong to Christ. In God’s Word, there are three specific ways Jesus gives us peace.

The Great Commission—those final words of Jesus before His ascension—have fueled the mission of the church for centuries. But what does that look like today? And how does it impact each of us?

With the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His followers to live on mission and reach the world with the Gospel. Not only did He promise to go with us, He’s even gone ahead of us.

They were cannibals and headhunters. In their culture, treachery was idealized, they lived in fear, and had never heard the name of Jesus. Not until two missionaries came with a small baby, and made their home among them.

Fear of God and fear of man are two sides of a tug-of-war battle in the heart of every Christian. This struggle will last a lifetime, but not without progress and never without hope.

The Apostle Peter did mighty things in God’s kingdom. But he often struggled with the fear of man just like so many of us do today, but that wasn’t the end of his story.

“Fear of man” is a phrase Christians use to describe our tendency to be intimidated and controlled by others' viewpoints. When that happens, people become big and God becomes small in our eyes.

We want the applause of people, and we fear their rejection. In both cases, other people have become big in our eyes while God has become small. How can we flip that around?

How big is God? It’s more than just a Sunday School question for kids; grown-ups need to answer it as well. How big is God in your life?

Is shame a useful tool for good or a cruel burden preventing people from flourishing as God intends? The surprising answer is yes and yes. God’s Word sheds light on both.

What does shame whisper to you? As long as we draw breath in this fallen world, those whispers will nudge us into the shadows, but there is a greater voice speaking words of hope and restoration.

Fully known and fully loved. That’s the promise we have in Christ. The problem is, we often struggle to believe it’s really true.

“You should be ashamed of yourself!” How often have you heard those words… from others or from your own lips? Shame is everywhere; it sticks like super glue, and there is only one solvent.

What’s the difference between shame and guilt? And of the two, which is most often neglected?

He wrote a song that became a jingle for Kentucky Fried Chicken, which helped him go to seminary. Charles Morris talks with Pastor Aaron Roberts from New Zealand.

It’s been 50 years since Richard Nixon resigned as President. His former chief counsel served a prison sentence for his role in the Watergate scandal. During this time, Chuck Colson was born again.

She was a Christian. Her husband was not. For most of their marriage, he rejected Jesus. But God did a mighty work just before he died.

A pastor, husband, and father, life was going well until a disappointing diagnosis. How would the Lord see Joe Ananias through?

He contracted polio as a young boy. Doctors thought he might be in an iron lung his entire life, but God had other plans. Charles Morris shares his polio story with David Wollen and how the Lord has b

What's the difference between a worship song and a hymn? It's getting harder to tell these days, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.

How deep is the love of Jesus? The ocean, at its greatest depth, can crush a man, but Jesus became a man and was crushed to save us. His love is too deep to measure.
