A Battle for Integrity

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

I must tell you that I have been troubled regarding the face of things in our country and within the family of God. My major battle has had to do with one word, one concept. My battle has to do with integrity. In our nation—and in the church—there has been a falling away, a breakdown, […]

A Season for Humble Gratitude

Posted on 15th December 201629th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

It’s baaaack! The age-old yuletide season is about to slip in the door once again. Better not shout, better not pout, for the shopping precinct will be playing “Jingle Bells” several thousand times between now and 25th December. If you’re not careful, the crowds and commercialism will weigh you down like that fourth helping of […]

Becoming a Man or a Woman after God’s Own Heart

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

When God scans the earth for potential leaders, He is not on a search for angels in the flesh. He is certainly not looking for perfect people, since there are none. He is searching for men and women like you and me, mere people made up of flesh. But He is also looking for people […]

Authentic Ministry: A Lesson from the Life of Paul

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Paul’s ministry was saturated with the Word of God. Fifteen times in chapters thirteen and fourteen of Acts the phrases “God’s Word,” the “Word of truth,” the “teaching of the Lord,” the “Law and the Prophets,” and the “Good News” are mentioned (13:5, 7, 12, 15, 32, 44, 46, 48, 49; 14:3, 7, 15, 21, […]

A Unique Spokesperson: A Lesson from the Life of Elijah

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

God’s methods are often surprising. God did not raise up an army to destroy Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 16:29-34). Neither did He send some scintillating prince to argue His case or try to impress their royal majesties. Instead, God did the unimaginable—He chose somebody like . . . well, like Elijah (1 Kings 17:1). […]

God Is Faithful

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Read Esther 2:10-20. When God scans the earth for potential leaders, He is not on a search for angels in the flesh. He is certainly not looking for perfect people, since there are none. He is searching for men and women like you and me, mere people made up of flesh, bone, and blood. But […]

Character: It’s Been Buried Long Enough

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Consider the words of Solomon: “He who walks in integrity walks securely, / But he who perverts his ways will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9). Before reading on, go back and read that again. By the time Job had reared his family, established himself in the business world, and gotten up in years, he had […]

Amazing Grace on Display

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

The word grace means many things to many people. We refer to a ballet dancer as having grace. We say grace at meals. We talk about the queen of England bringing grace to events she attends. Grace can mean coordination of movement, it can mean a prayer, it can refer to dignity and elegance. Most […]

A Reflection of Christ: A Lesson from the Life of Joseph

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Joseph’s life offers us a magnificent portrayal of the grace of God as He came to our rescue in the Person of His Son, Jesus. So many come to Him, like Joseph’s guilty brothers, feeling the distance and fearing the worst from God, only to have Him demonstrate incredible generosity and mercy. Instead of being […]

Five Promises from a Shepherd to His Flock

Posted on 14th December 201610th November 2017 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

A number of years ago, a friend dropped by my study. He’s a true friend, one who knows me well . . . and loves me, warts and all. He also speaks the truth in love, which is exactly what he did in the last twenty minutes of our visit that day. I could tell […]
