We Are Not To Grieve The Holy Spirit
with Kay Arthur from 'Precepts for Life' It’s often tough to get rid of bitterness. But if you don’t purge it from your life, you’re asking for trouble. Moreover, you’ll grieve the Holy Spirit. Precept Ministry’s Kay Arthur discusses this issue, as she continues… (click here to read more)
What You Know
'Chip Shots from the Ruff of Life' from Tom Kelley
Benjamin Spock once said (or was it Mr. Spock on Star Trek), "Trust Yourself. You know more than you think." Many people panic when the pressure is applied for them to perform from the depths of their knowledge. I remember my first time delivering a speech before my Toastmasters club members where I had to have…(continue reading article)

BASE Jumping
'The Way' from Kevin Pauley
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire congregation of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven. He said: LORD God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping the gracious covenant with Your servants who walk before You with their whole heart.…(continue reading article)
Daily Light on the Daily Path
Morning / Evening Devotional — November 15
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised. — God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. — Truly our fellowship is with the Father,… — ( click here to read more )

Limitless Riches
"My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
Paul's God is our God and will supply all our need. Paul felt sure of this in reference to the Philippians, and we feel sure of it as to ourselves. God will do it, for it is like Him: He loves us, He delights to bless us, and it will glorify Him… — ( click here to read more )
Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning and Evening for February 16
"I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content."
- Philippians 4:11
These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity of man. "Ill weeds grow apace." Covetousness, discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns are to the soil. We need not sow thistles and brambles;…… — ( click here to read more )
Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Kislev 07'
When Rabbi Joshua went to Athens to argue with the renowned philosophers there, they asked him, "Where is the centre of the world?" The rabbi pointed to a spot near his feet and said,"Here!" The Greeks responded, "How can you prove it?" Joshua answered, "Bring ropes and measure" (Bechorot 8b). Rabbi Joshua rightly discerned that his audience would never… — ( click here to read more )

Great Expectations
New Years are all about resolutions. That's what a friend of mine concluded as we were talking the other day. His succinct statement was something along the lines of, "Yep, everybody makes their resolutions and then nobody follows them." I guess the appropriate question to raise here is to ask how many of you have…… — ( click here to read more )
'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
That One Solitary Life
Have you ever wondered why Jesus is never referred to as Jesus the Great? We speak of Alexander the Great, Charles the Great, and Peter the Great but never Jesus the Great. And why? Because He dwells in a sphere where no real comparisons are possible. It simply doesn't seem right to use the designation "the Great" of…… — ( click here to read more )
Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer
Morning / Evening Devotional — November 15
The evangelical Christian need make no apology for his beliefs. They are in direct lineal descent from those of the apostles. He can check the tenets of his total creed against the life giving, transforming beliefs of church fathers both East and West, reformers, mystics, missionaries, saints and evangelists, and they will check out one by one. Then…

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest. - Micah 2:10
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest. - Micah 2:10 There is no permanent rest for the believer on earth; here briars and thorns will be with him; and a voice is daily sounding in his ears, "ARISE YE, AND DEPART." Here you are not to loll at ease, or to idle on your journey; here you are not to expect to find satisfaction,…

ERLC, Faith-Based Coalition Urge Congress to Repeal Parking Tax on Churches, Non-Profits
A coalition of some 32 faith-based organizations joined with the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention Tuesday in calling on Congress to repeal a provision in the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that will force churches and other historically tax-exempt organizations to file federal and likely state income tax returns on parking benefits.
Are We Loving All Our Neighbors?
We all engage with people of other faiths and worldviews--the real question is whether or not we're doing a good or bad job being a witness to Christ. Engaging badly and leaving a bad taste in someone's mouth about Christ is not what Jesus calls us to. Not engaging with people of other faiths at all...is also engaging badly.
Don't Trash the Bible
Many in this sinful world will tell you that the Scriptures are filled with unscientific statements, mistakes, contradictions, and atrocities. But if you believe them and trash the Bible, you will shred the directions on how to find everlasting life.
Are Alinskyites Trying to Steal These Elections?
Well, here we go again. Is there something in the water of Broward County that causes these post-election ballot battles? I write this as a Broward resident for some 33 years now. Part of the controversy has to do with "provisional ballots" -- ballots that apparently could not be verified.
Christian Group Friend Ships Gives Love, Aid to Desperate Syrians
I learned that Don Tipton founded Friend Ships. Previously his lifestyle included hanging out with famous stars in Beverly Hills and he lived next door to former President Ronald Reagan. He radically changed direction when his Christian faith became the bedrock of his life. In 1985, the charity acquired a ship, outfitted it and now for decades a small fleet of Friend Ships has served the poor in nations worldwide.
They Were Weeping Their Abortions, Not Shouting Them
I've been doing daily talk radio for more than 10 years, which means well over 2,000 radio broadcasts. But the show on Tuesday, November 13, was different. In fact, I was barely able to keep myself composed as some of the callers wept and sobbed.
