God is Sufficient for the Cares of Life
Paul wrote that even the most severe pressures of daily life never separate us from the tenderness and compassion of our Heavenly Father. On the contrary, when we feel like our world is falling apart, God's power and grace are magnified.
The Cure for Worry
People have struggled with worry since the beginning of time, which is why the Bible has much to say about it. God knew that worry would be a problem for us, so in His perfect wisdom He gave us examples of the problem and supplied us with a practical solution.
How God Answers Prayer
Over the years, I’ve discovered from Scripture and experience that God loves to answer our prayers. Here are five of his most frequent answers.
Why is There Evil and Suffering?
In writing about the origin of evil, John H. Gerstner admitted: "This is the most difficult problem in all of theistic theology and philosophy." Yet to be honest to reality, we must consistently avoid the irrational options of denying the existence of evil or of God.
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
If there really is a God, people wonder, why has He allowed so much suffering in the world? Many Christians honestly struggle with that same question. Only by turning to the Bible can we begin to understand the problem of suffering.
Hope for Healing
What skeletons are you hiding in your closet? Maybe you've struggled with homosexuality. Perhaps you had an abortion. Whatever you've done--mistreating someone you love, lying, having an affair--there is hope for healing.
Forgive and Forget
My friend, has anyone ever offended you? Has your spouse been unfaithful? Have your children disappointed you? Has someone cheated you in business? How we respond to the difficult experiences of life directly affects our spiritual well-being.
Facing Sexual Temptation
You will be tempted. C.S. Lewis, in Screwtape Letters, said, "No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good. There is a silly idea that good people don't know what temptation means."
Spiritual Burnout
When a believer burns out, it's his own human resources that have been exhausted. God's infinite zoe can never be depleted. If He lives in each of us and is our life, then spiritual burnout is caused by the believer's failure to rest in and receive the continual flow of His life.
When Heaven is Silent
Great things can happen to you in the midst of your suffering too. But if not... We can keep asking, "Why?", or we can look with all confidence as Job toward Heaven and proclaim, "Though He slay Me, yet will I trust Him!"
Feel Like Giving Up?
Every Christian on this planet reaches that crisis point at one time or another in life. And in that moment, when the walls seem to be caving in and the roof appears to be collapsing, when everything seems to be coming apart, a voice deep within cries out, "Walk away from it all... Give up!"
Finding God When You've Failed
"How can I pray when I know I've failed God?" I may ask myself. The awareness of recent sin or even a remote memory can haunt the mind and cripple all confidence in prayer.
The Truth about Faith
I believe God works miracles in answer to the prayer of faith. I believe every promise in God's Word - as is! But, through much suffering and tears, I've discovered something wonderful about the way God works.
Victory is a Man, not a Method
When God is pleased to reveal His Son to us, we will learn that Victory is not a thing, but a Person; that Victory is not an experience, but a Man.
