That Subtle Sin

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

Do you know which sin is the subtle enemy of simple faith? Materialism and greed? Anger? Lust? Hypocrisy? No. All of these sins are certainly our enemies, but none of them qualify as subtle enemies. Stop and think. Once you decide to trust God in simple faith and allow Him complete freedom to carry out […]

Satan Around Every Corner?

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

Lots of Christians look for Satan behind every bush. Wake up in a sour mood? Must be Satan. Argue with a family member? The Devil strikes again. Bad weather wreaks havoc on the commute? Who else could be working in that? No one but Satan! Those who see Satan in all of life’s negatives often […]

Erosion

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

I remember only two things from my high school chemistry class. First, I got rid of a wart on the back of my right hand through applications of sulfuric acid for thirty-three consecutive days. Second, I watched the slow death of a frog in an unforgettable experiment. My teacher placed the hapless creature in an […]

When the Unimaginable Happens

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

An Interview with Chuck Swindoll and Dave Carder Sexual abuse is an extremely difficult and damaging experience. In the vast majority of child sexual abuse cases, the child not only knows but trusts the person who committed the abuse. This is why children often don’t tell anyone about it. At other times, children remain silent […]

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 […]
