Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room

If news networks had been invented in 1809, they would’ve covered one story: Napoleon sweeping across Austria like a wildfire. Napoleon was the talk of the world, on the move from Trafalgar to Waterloo. Everything was about Napoleon. Now, at the same time, babies were being born, but who cared? Someone should have! Whole cadres […]

My Life’s Defining Moments

Posted on 29th July 201930th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

For 63 years, I have started nearly every day the same way. My wife, Cynthia, and I get up at 5:00 a.m. We have done this for so long that we don’t need an alarm clock, no matter what time we went to bed. First thing, one of us turns on the coffeepot that I […]

Four Ways You Can Reflect the Truth

Posted on 29th July 201929th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Think about your typical morning. After you roll out of bed, it probably isn’t long before you’re staring into a mirror. If you’re like me, most days your hair looks like an explosion from a mattress factory, your face resembles one of the Seven Dwarfs, and your breath is . . . well, let’s just […]

My Grace Awakening – How God Made My Marriage Bloom

Posted on 15th February 201928th January 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

When I wrote The Grace Awakening almost 30 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the book’s widespread impact. People still write to tell me how it changed their lives and even their marriages. Little do they know that, in part, the book originated from my own “grace awakening.” This June, Cynthia and I will be […]

A Year in the Word

Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. No one can deny the importance of bodily nutrition. Our energy levels, ability to cope with life’s challenges, and even mental attitudes are directly linked to the regular intake of the right foods in the proper amounts. Eat an unbalanced diet, consume too many sweets, choke down too much too […]

A Tiny Gift . . . Wonderfully Wrapped, Silently Delivered

Posted on 10th December 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Since the first Christmas celebration, one word has crossed everyone’s lips more than any other this time of year. It isn’t the word carol or tree or food. It’s gift. Gifts are so inseparably linked with Christmas that we can hardly think of one without the other. If you listen to conversations in stores this […]

Seven Impossibilities Jesus Made Possible

Posted on 1st August 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Impossible! Has this word crossed your lips lately as you peer at an unsolvable problem? The dictionary defines impossible as “incapable of being done, attained, or fulfilled: insuperably difficult.”1Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Ed., ed. Frederick C. Mish, (Springfield, Mass: Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2008), s.v. “Impossible.” So, what’s your “insuperably difficult” circumstance? Perhaps an adult child […]

A Mighty Fortress: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Posted on 1st July 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Recently, I led a tour through the ancient city of Jerusalem. Early one morning, I looked out across the skyline and read Psalm 46. You may know the first verse by heart: God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. I thought of how God had shown Himself strong […]

God IS Fulfilling the Great Commission! Are You Doing Your Part?

When I heard the numbers, I could hardly believe my ears! I was at Insight for Living Ministries international headquarters, meeting with a delegation of pastors from Jiangsu in the People’s Republic of China. They told me that as many as 109,000 people in their province are trusting Christ as their Saviour each year! Don’t let […]

In the end, God Wins . . . and We Win . . . When God Wins!

Posted on 1st April 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

If you like stories that end well, you’ll love Christianity. One of the great themes of our faith is triumphant hope—an unshakeable assurance that things will end right. In the midst of struggles and storms, battles and trials, we focus beyond the present moment and we see victory. We see relief, because in the end, God […]
