A house needs to be built on a solid foundation or it will crack, sag, and even collapse. In the same way your life needs to be built on the foundation of God’s Word so you won’t be swept away by false teaching.
If we are struggling with distrust and how to relate to the leader after their failure we need to look at our own attitudes first.
Jesus says if we build our lives on Him, when the storms of life come, we will stand. We can trust in His wisdom and power.
More often than not we don’t know what causes people to act how they do. That’s why it’s always appropriate to extend grace. Always.
In times of great stress we need a solid foundation to fall back upon. It is in those moments of panic and fear our training kicks in and we realize even though we feel lost and alone, it's not truth. God is with us.
Once we understand that sin and death have been companions since they entered the world through Adam’s disobedience, we can then begin to see the different destinations of those who believe versus those who do not.
Prejudice is a heart problem. We adopt sinful attitudes towards others and recognizing them is the first step towards removing the blinders and—with God’s help—begin seeing the truth.
From each of the four gospels, Pastor Chuck Swindoll takes listeners on a journey unfolding the identity of the Son of God. Embodying humanity and deity, Jesus showed Himself to be the awaited One.
Your response to hard times is an indication of where your trust lies—in yourself or in God.
No one wants to look back at the end of the year and see wasted time. No one hopes to drift aimlessly through life, doing things without at least some lasting value. The difficulty lies in the fact many of us simply don’t know what we need to do to give life purpose. Well, Jesus has three answers—three “musts”—for each of us.
