Jesus Has a Question For You

Posted on 9th January 201730th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

At the zenith of His career, Jesus pulled away to the secluded area of Caesarea Philippi. On His mind was a crucial question for His disciples—and for us as well. Travel back with me to the scene as it unfolds. The surroundings are impressive. Flowing springs. Lush gardens. Monuments and temples dedicated to the worship […]

An Invitation to Touch the Skin of Infinite God

Posted on 9th January 201730th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Childbirth is something no man can completely appreciate. We can marvel as an observer—a helpless one at that—but we cannot experience it as a woman would. My wife tells me, “I cannot completely describe the feeling that came over me as the doctor held up Curt, cut the cord, and then laid him right across […]

Just Do It

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Have you noticed that many of our churches have turned into extended Bible conferences, places where we love to sit and soak in the Word like sponges instead of being challenged and given opportunities to launch ourselves out into the world? Don’t get me wrong, the church is the right place to learn how to […]

Jesus and Women

Posted on 9th January 201729th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

When we think of the ministry of Jesus, we immediately recall the “big” moments. His baptism. The Sermon on the Mount. His transfiguration. The miracles He performed. And, of course, His death and resurrection. But Jesus’s ministry was to people. His miracles and messages were for individuals who needed a Saviour . . . not […]

Deepwater Faith

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A funny thing happened in Darlington, Maryland, several years ago. Edith, a mother of eight, was coming home from a neighbour’s house one Saturday afternoon. Things seemed too quiet as she walked across her front garden. Curious, she peered through the door and saw five of her youngest children huddled together, concentrating on something. As […]

Unearthing Our Walk with Christ

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

On more than one occasion recently I’ve found myself pondering the words of Socrates: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” That statement rings true because things tend to get complicated over time. We begin our Christian life with utter delight and simplicity. But as tradition, religion, others’ expectations, and too many activities begin to […]

Laugh It Off

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Let’s have some fun. It’s overdue. Life’s been getting a little tight; it’s much too serious lately. With more deadlines, too many meetings (all of them too long!), not enough relaxation, more e-mails than I can handle, and the feeling that I gotta do more to keep all those weak marriages together, it’s enough to […]

How to Waste Your Time This Year

Posted on 9th January 201727th February 2018 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

With the dawning of a new year comes a deluge of resolutions, reminders, and exhortations. They all follow similar how-to themes—how to increase your efficiency, how to make every moment count, how to invest your time wisely and productively. Well, just for some tongue-in-cheek fun, I’d like to take the opposite tack. I’m going to […]

The Winsome Witness

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

I remember a fun ‘n’ games night around the supper table in our house. It was wild. First of all, one of the kids snickered during the prayer (which isn’t that unusual) and that tipped the first domino. Then a humorous incident from school was shared and the event (as well as how it was […]

Funny Truth

Posted on 9th January 201710th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

1 Kings 18:1-46 Maybe I’m weird, but there are times the Bible makes me laugh. I mean really laugh. The older I get and the more comfortable I feel in the Book, the more I find times when a smiling response is not only appropriate, it’s expected. Like that time when the main event at […]
