By John Bevere Words of Life
Not too long ago, my son Arden travelled to India to speak at a conference. But when he arrived, they didn't even pick him up at the airport. He texted me, saying, “Dad, what do I do?”  As a father, I was furious. I wanted to fly over there and…

Everyday Salvation

By Sheila Walsh Words of Life
  A friend called and told me that she struggled with online pornography. Isn’t that something only men struggle with? She told me she’d reached out to her small group the previous year, and very gingerly she’d begun the discussion by saying that perhaps women can wrestle with this temptation…

Protecting Hope

By John Eldredge Words of Life
I always felt it strange that God needed to command us to love him. (It is the first and greatest of all commandments.) Now I see better. When God calls us to love him as our "first love," it is not only because he deserves to hold that place in…

The Sound of Silence

A Glimpse of Heaven

By Dr. Robert Jeffress Words of Life
For the follower of Jesus Christ, death is "moving from one place to another" – like moving from the frozen tundra of the arctic circle to the sun-kissed beaches of Hawaii. Paul described a Christian's change of location at death: being "absent from the body" means being "at home with…

Joy in the Hurricane

By Randy Robison Words of Life
For those of us in the southern part of the country, the last few weeks have been all about hurricanes. Harvey and Irma turned people’s lives upside down. In the aftermath, however, an unexpected secret to happiness can be seen. As scores of volunteers, many from churches, flooded into the…

Don’t Go Beast Mode

By Jeremiah Johnston Words of Life
Going “Beast Mode” is a good thing in a full-contact sport. If you are a Seattle Seahawks fan, you most likely love the nickname “Beast Mode,” which has become something of modern sports mythology. The term was coined when Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch ripped off a stunning sixty-seven-yard touchdown…

Confront Your Giants

By Francisco Contreras, M.D. Words of Life
It is important to take a good, hard look at what you believe. Afterward you must confront yourself, and you must confront your giant -- your Goliath who stands at the entrance of your personal promised land, taunting you, defeating you, and threatening to keep you from reaching your potential.…
