Grace: God’s Masterplan for You . . . God’s Masterplan for All

Posted on 6th March 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

There’s one Sunday from the 1970s that I’ll never forget. I had just finished preaching in Fullerton, California, when my friend and radio expert, Al Sanders, came to me and said, “Chuck, this ought to be on the radio.” I responded, “What ought to be on the radio?” Being heard anywhere other than the pulpit […]

After the Storm . . . Rebuild!

Posted on 26th February 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

During the last few months, natural disasters have battered North America. Wildfires have ravaged Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. Death and destruction piled high as the ground shook in Mexico. Hurricane after hurricane tore through South Texas and other parts of North America, including all of Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin […]

Love Offers a Place to Unload

Posted on 26th February 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Imagine two mountain hikers trudging along, each carrying a backpack. The one on the left has a light pack that a child could carry. The poor soul on the right is so loaded down we can’t even see his head or body . . . just a couple of spindly legs wobbling under the burden […]

Hope: The Anchor for Your Soul

Posted on 26th February 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

It was a phone call I’ll never forget. It was from a young woman whose life lay shipwrecked on the California beach from where she was calling. She had a terminal disease, leukaemia. Her husband had left her. Her child had recently died at only two and a half months old. Her friend had just […]

The Garden in Full Bloom: Marriage as God Intended

Posted on 26th February 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

On the 18th of June, 1955, we said “I do.” At just 18 and barely 20, my wife and I began our journey together that is now in its sixth decade. And, contrary to popular opinion, we’ve not been sheltered from life’s harsh winds. Keeping a marriage together is hard work. Making it thrive is […]

The Other Side of Letting Go

Posted on 26th February 201829th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

It was the ultimate test of faith. God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much . . . and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” (Genesis 22:1–2) God’s words pound against our ears like […]

Be a Part of Something Phenomenal!

Posted on 26th February 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

When God is doing something phenomenal—something extraordinary—you have to be part of it! When the Magi saw the star, they had to follow it. When Peter and John heard that the tomb was empty, they ran to see. When the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples at Pentecost, they turned the world upside down. Is God […]

Wisdom and the Unsent Letter

Posted on 26th February 201830th July 2019 by Pastor Chuck Swindoll

Rash reactions are never best. In the moment, when we’re swimming in emotions and anger threatens to pull us under, a sudden outburst feels best. But if we give in, we say and do things we wish we’d never said or done. I remember, years ago, a certain man would write railing letters to me. […]
