5 Uplifting Prayers to Have Faith in Seasons of Hardship - Topical Studies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He was desperate. Having brought his son to the disciples, he thought the boy would be healed. Yet they had done nothing. The demon continued to inflict his son with troubles he had been experiencing for years – convulsing, foaming at the mouth, being thrown into fire and water (Mark 9:17-18, 21-22). If these disciples could not drive away the spirit, who could? This father was losing hope. The popular saying, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” could have an equivalent among churches: “
10 Notorious Villains of the Bible and What Their Downfall Teaches Us - Topical Studies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Certain names, fictional and historical, instantly evoke thoughts of evil deeds and an insidious legacy. Names like Uriah Heap, Sauron, Iago, Jadis, Voldemort, Nero, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Hitler, Stalin. They are the villains that populate our stories and the past, giving us glimpses into the reality of darkness inside the human heart.

We might not always see it immediately, or even on this side of eternity, but our Lord is always working for our good (Romans 8:28). We see this principle at work in Hezekiah's life. He had developed a boil and grew ill. The prophet Isaiah deli

Jonathan's words were merely a distant memory: “Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few” (1 Samuel 14:6, NIV). Amid the fear, they forgot that the Lord is greater than all. David understood Goliath’s words as a disgrace to Israel and God. It was not merely humans he was defying, but the living Lord Himself (1 Samuel 17:26). Since David loved and served God, he did not want the Lor
5 Days of Praying for the Spread of the Gospel Far and Near - Explore the Bible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Followers of Jesus are meant to obey the Bible, which means we should not treat people who have been made in the image of God as mere political issues (Genesis 1:27). Scripture tells us to help and care for the alien, foreigner and stranger (see Leviticus 19:33-34; Jeremiah 22:3; Matthew 25:35-40). Also, many refugees come from unreached areas. Therefore, caring for those who have been displaced or have immigrated is an opportunity to show the love of Christ and share the gospel. You were a refu
