Your heavenly Father knoweth (Matthew 6:32).

A visitor at a school for the deaf and dumb was writing questions on the blackboard for the children. By and by he wrote this sentence: "Why has God made me to hear and speak, and made you deaf and dumb?"

The awful sentence fell upon the little ones like a fierce blow in the face. They sat palsied before that dreadful "Why?" And then a little girl…

When Christ came to earth, Israel was living under the crushing rule of Rome. The Jews were heavily burdened by Roman taxes and laws. Meanwhile, a greedy priesthood was taking advantage of widows and the poor. The downtrodden were mocked and ridiculed, and the people were blinded by corruption. All of this is why so many of the prophets said Christ would come in an hour of darkness, bringing great light.

Jesus came into a society plagued by…

My Carolina Panthers will be taking on Denver in my backyard & I'm broke as a board. The one time I could catch my boys & catch a glimpse of Payton Manning fight it out, I have zilch dollars. hahaha Oh well - Go Panthers

The lineup for the Superbowl is set and Peyton Manning has another chance to…

Dear Dr. King

You were right. You prophesied, “If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will . . . be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the 20th century.”

But we have lost more than a sacrificial spirit. One…

LONDON — Hillsong London’s two advertised Xmas services that are said to be all “about Jesus,” but feature clips of Santa Claus, dancing elves, mini-skirt-wearing flappers and…

This time of year, couples and groups seem to be everywhere. Choirs caroling of Christmas cheer. Couples kissing beneath the mistletoe. Groups serving their community together.



But when we’ve hit our bottom, when the world is spinning out of control, and the holidays are harder than ever, we often times seek to be alone. We’d rather hole up with our pain than have to face a crowd of merry faces. 



But that’s never what God intended.



If you’re feeling low this year,…

Now it was not a natural phenomenon. It was supernatural. It was not an eclipse. It was not a sand storm. It was a miracle! This is what the Scripture says in Matthew 27:45-46, "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' That is to say, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken…

You may remember the Old Testament story of the Israelite spies sent to scout out the Promised Land. They came back saying, “Yes, it’s a land flowing with milk and honey. But it’s also full of giants and walled-up cities. We’re not able to go up against these people. Compared to them, we’re mere grasshoppers” (see Numbers 13).

Now, these men didn’t accuse God. They never said, “God isn’t able. He isn’t strong enough.” They dared not voice such…

We think that when we fail to trust God in our daily situations, we only harm ourselves. We think we’re simply missing out on His blessings. But that isn’t the whole story. First of all, we hurt and anger our blessed Lord. He warns, “If you don’t trust Me, you’re going to develop a hardened heart.”

We read in Hebrews: “Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your…

The slanderer tries to injure someone’s reputation or character by false & defamatory statements. The action or CRIME of making false spoken statements damaging to a person’s reputation.

People love to talk about other people, especially if it’s bad. Hollywood makes a huge dollar from gossip. People pay for dirt. Be honest, if the news was always positive, would you read it or listen to it? Most of us wouldn’t – including myself. God hates the news media because he hates liars…

Have you ever been devastated because of the words that came out of someone’s mouth? How about someone who you thought was a dear friend? I’m sure we all have & I’m also sure we’ve also said the words that did the damage. If you never have, you are perfect. James 3:2 says we all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

Gossip is probably the biggest destroyer of all time. It’s deadlier than the…

What is going on with your life at this moment in time? Are you going through trials that seem to never ease up? Does it seem like you’ve been suffering forever? Do you have health issues? Are you in lots of physical pain that never seem to stop? Are you in a financial bind? Are bills coming in 10 times faster than the paychecks are? Does it seem like you’ll never catch up? Are you borrowing from Peter to pay Paul? How about emotional sickness? I know some suffer from situations like…
