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 […]

Discoveries

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

“Can you see anything?” What a question to ask! Howard Carter’s mouth and eyes opened wide when his aide asked it. He had stuck his head into a timeless tomb. Beads of perspiration popped out on the British archaeologist’s brow. For six straight years, he had been digging. Endless trenches. Tons of rubble, rocks, and […]

Famine

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

The word hangs like an awful omen in our heads. Mentally, we picture brutal, grotesque images. Cow’s ribs and hips protrude. Babies’ eyes are hollow. Bloated stomachs growl angrily. Skin stretches across faces tight as a trampoline. The outline of the skull slowly emerges. Joints swell. Grim, despairing stares replace smiles. Hope is gone . […]
