The Dos and Don’ts of Dealing with Sexual Abuse of a Loved One

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

Sexual abuse probably comes closer to your life than you might think. Even if you were not a victim yourself (though many certainly have been), there is a good chance that a sibling, a child, or a good friend of yours has experienced the horrors of sexual abuse. No one expects to discover that anyone, […]

The Eternal I AM

Posted on 17th January 201730th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Until your eyes are fixed on the Lord, you will not be able to endure those days that go from bad to worse. Fix your eyes on the Lord! Do it once. Do it daily. Do it ten thousand times ten thousand times. Do it constantly. When your schedule presses, when your prospects thin, when […]

Time with God

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

I was raised to believe in the importance of a “quiet time.” To the surprise of some, the original idea of that concept did not come from the late Dawson Trotman, the founder of The Navigators, but from the Lord Himself. Replete through the Scriptures are references to the value of waiting for the Lord […]

Strengthening Your Grip on Prayer

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

I should tell you up front that this is not going to be your basic religious-sounding statement on prayer. Sorry, I just don’t have it in me. No, I’m not sorry. To be painfully honest with you, most of the stuff I have ever read or heard said about prayer has either left me under […]

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 […]
