You Can Make a Difference

Posted on 17th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Overwhelming odds can make cowards of us all. Because there is so much to be done, we can easily lose heart and do nothing. Because there are so many to reach, it is easy to forget that God wants to use us to touch those few within our sphere of responsibility. I remember the first […]

The Only Thing Incapable of Error

Posted on 17th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Ever since I was knee-high to a gnat, I have been taught and have believed in the infallibility of Scripture. Among the upper echelons of doctrinal truths, this one ranks alongside the Godhead, the deity of Christ, and salvation by grace. We may fuss around with a few of the events in God’s eschatological calendar […]

Sharing Your Testimony

Posted on 12th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A time-honoured, effective method of evangelism is the giving of your personal testimony. No big deal. Just telling about your spiritual pilgrimage. How you found bread as a beggar. The sceptic may deny your doctrine or attack your church, but he cannot honestly ignore the fact that your life has been cleaned up and revolutionised. […]

Practical Advice for Perilous Times

Posted on 12th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

What are the marching orders for people who live in these difficult, perilous times when the courts are out of control, when the schools are out of control, when neighborhoods are out of control, when it seems as though even your home at times is living on the ragged edge? Let me give you four […]

Delegate the Workload

Posted on 12th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Read Exodus 18:1-27. The Christian worker is a strange breed. He or she wants it to look as if the work is terribly hard. In fact, the more difficult and strained the look, the better. Christian workers are notorious for what I call the “tired blood” look, better known as the overburdened and outdated “missionary […]

A Shepherd’s Heart

Posted on 12th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Read Numbers 27:12-23. Moses asks for a man “who will go out and come in before them, who will lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be like sheep which have no shepherd” (Numbers 27:17). In other words, “Lord, we need a man who realizes he must […]

Three Ways to Help Your Children Keep Their Faith

Posted on 10th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A curious phenomenon has plagued families for as long as there have been families. Go back as far as time will take you, and there it is in all its mystery and misery. What is it? It’s that age-old problem of second-generation fallout. Happily, there are wonderful exceptions. But more often than not, it occurs. […]

Three Tips for Your Family

Posted on 10th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

The longer I live, the more convinced I become of how easy it is to allow irretrievable moments to slip away. I thought I learned this when Cynthia and I reared our four children. I’m finding it just as true now with our ten grandchildren. Regardless of our demanding schedules and in spite of our […]

The Plan in a Child’s Heart

Posted on 10th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding draws it out. (Proverbs 20:5) To make this verse even more practical, let’s think of this “plan” in these terms: “A plan in the heart of a child is like deep water, but a parent of understanding draws […]

The Greatest Influence

Posted on 10th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Several years ago, someone interviewed the contemporary artist Marc Chagall for a PBS program. The young, arty interviewer started the session with a question about influences. His question was very long and involved and exhibited his own learning along the way, giving everybody, including Chagall, a lecture on the nature of influences on the artist. […]
