A Unique Spokesperson
A Unique Spokesperson by Chuck Swindoll 1 Kings 16:29-17:1 God’s methods are often surprising. God did not raise up an army to destroy Ahab and Jezebel. Neither did He send some scintillating prince to argue His case or try to impress their royal majesties. Instead, God did the unimaginable—He choseRead More …
Setting Goals to Achieve God’s Plan
Genesis 24:1-67 God has a purpose for our life, but we need goals to help us stay on track (Eph. 2:10). In Genesis 24, Abraham’s trusted servant demonstrated this well. He knew his goal, kept confidence, made a plan, and set a timeline. We should follow his example. Once weRead More …

Special People for Special Times by Chuck Swindoll 1 Kings 16:29-17:1 God looks for special people at difficult times. God needed a special man to shine the light in the blackness of those days. But God didn’t find him in the palace or the court. He didn’t find him walkingRead More …

The Best I Can
The Best I Can by Chuck Swindoll 1 Chronicles 28:1-11 David was saying, “God did not give me a yes answer. When it came to my own dream, He gave me a no answer. But He did give me other things in place of that dream, and I’m making theRead More …
Daily Help
The river of God is full of water; but there is not one drop of it that takes its rise in earthly springs. God will have no strength used in his own battles bat the strength which he himself imparts; and I would not have you that are now distressedRead More …
Streams in the Desert
“And there arose a great storm.” (Mark 4:37.) SOME of the storms of life come suddenly, a great sorrow, a bitter disappointment, a crushing defeat. Some come slowly. They appear upon the ragged edges of the horizon no larger than a man’s hand, but, trouble that seems so insignificant spreadsRead More …
