Helping Students with Same-Sex Attraction

Helping Students with Same-Sex Attraction
By Cooper Pinson

A student sits in your office and shares about his or her struggles with same-sex attraction.  Or perhaps it’s your child asking you for help.  What can you say or do that will bring the gospel into this struggle?

Cooper Pinson from Harvest USA begins by helping parents and youth leaders understand that this struggle is not so very different than their own struggles with sin and suffering that they encounter every day.  (more…)

Love Changes Everything

Love Changes Everything
By Micah Berteau

We all crave love. We try to fill the void inside with any number of poor substitutes.  We seek validation from empty outlets.  We’re thirsty for compliments.  We change who we are to impress people who aren’t looking and don’t care.  Yet, we are still desperately searching for a love that changes everything for us, a love that doesn’t fade and doesn’t fail — even when we do.

That’s the kind of love God shows that he has for us through the (more…)

Breaking Emotional Barriers To Healing

Breaking Emotional Barriers to Healing
Understanding the Mind-Body Connection to Your Illness
By Craig A. Miller

Far too many Christians are waiting, hoping, and praying for healing, but either it doesn’t last or it doesn’t come at all.  Doctors shrug and say there is nothing they can do.  Pastors say it is your sin or attacks of the devil that blocks your healing.  This only leaves people more helpless, hopeless, afraid, ashamed, and still sick or in pain.  (more…)

Before You Open Your Bible

Before You Open Your Bible
By Matt Smethurst

We know the Bible is important, but many of us struggle with it.  We’re not biblical experts — though we may have started enough reading plans to be really familiar with Genesis.  If we’re honest, the Bible often intimidates us, confuses us, and reading it doesn’t always thrill us.

And yet, the Bible is where God reveals his loving character and incredible plan of redemption.  In a practical and engaging manner, Matt Smethurst (more…)

Have No Fear

Have No Fear
By John C. Lennox

Christians are under increasing pressure to be silent.  We’re led to believe that, at best, our beliefs are outdated, and at worst they are dangerous.  Silenced by fear, it s all too easy to keep quiet.

But our Christian faith was never meant to be private.  Jesus’ followers are instructed to be deliberately and willingly different, seeking to share the life-changing good news they’ve heard with everyone, whatever the cost.  We might feel that we fall very short of this confident evangelistic lifestyle, (more…)

The Future Self Will Thank You

The Future Self Will Thank You
By Drew Dyck

Why can’t I control my anger?  Or stop overeating?  Or wasting time online?
Why can’t I seem to finish my projects?  Or make progress in my spiritual life?
Why do I fall for the same stupid temptations over and over again?

When we fail, its easy to make excuses or blame our circumstances.  But let’s face it: the biggest enemy is usually the one staring back at us from the mirror every morning.  (more…)

Love Kindness

Love Kindness
By Barry H. Corey

Kindness is not what we have been taught it is.  It isn’t a soft virtue, expressed only by sweet grandmothers or nice Boy Scouts.  Kindness is neither timid nor frail. Instead, it is brave and daring, willing to be vulnerable with those with whom we disagree.  It is the revolutionary way that Jesus himself called us to live.  The way of selfless risks.  The way of staggering hope.  The way of authenticity.

Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University, believes we (more…)

The Ultimate Exodus

The Ultimate Exodus
By Danielle Strickland

God didn’t just say to Pharaoh, “Let my people go!”  He also said to the Israelites ― and He says to us ― “Let go of what enslaves you, and follow me to freedom.”

The Ultimate Exodus opens our eyes to the things that enslave us, and it sets us on the path of our own exodus.  Danielle Strickland revisits the story of the Exodus to see what we can learn from a people who were slaves and who learned from God what it means to be free.  We discover as we go that (more…)
