Monday on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses a challenging question head-on: “Why Do Christians Have to Suffer?” He’ll look to God’s Word for insight and reassurance about God’s greater plan.
Allen Jackson Ministries is the media ministry of World Outreach Church (WOC). As part of the church, our goal is to help people become more fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ through television, radio, the Internet, books, and more.
“Why do I exist?” Sooner or later, we all ask that question. The late Steve Farrar explains that each human life is not accidental but part of God’s intentional plan and purpose. He reminds us to trust in God’s wisdom and shares some pointed advice for young adults.
What is faith? How can you be sure your faith in Christ is genuine—that it is saving faith? Consider those critical questions with John MacArthur as he helps you make sure that you are putting your faith where you should. He is continuing his encouraging series called Our Great Salvation.
Have you ever wondered, “How can I know God’s will?” So, how can we be certain when God is truly guiding us? The good news is that the bible promises that God will guide us. As we seek His will, He’ll give us direction. As it says in Psalm 32:8, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you shall go. I’ll guide you with Mine eye.”
When making decisions, many people decide what to do based on their emotions or what seems best at the time instead of considering the will of God. Dr. Stanley explains the difference between godly wisdom and human wisdom. When it comes to making wise choices and experiencing God’s best, obeying Him is always the best way to go.
The unfair criticism continues . . . so how does Job respond? With grace, even under immense pressure.Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores Job’s unwavering trust in God during a season of deep pain (Job 22–24).Even though Job couldn’t locate the presence of God, understand His plan, or justify God’s permissions, he wholeheartedly trusted in Him. Believe God is still in control!
Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that coming to Christ is far deeper than a moment, or a decision. It's realizing He is the one worthy of our trust. Real faith isn’t just believing in him, it’s surrendering every part of our lives to him, no matter where He leads.
It’s been said that a disaster, such as what has happened to worship in the evangelical church, is not going to be cured overnight. Indeed, there’s no quick fix, but the place to look is where true worship is always found--in the psalms. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour, as he unpacks the greatest of all the worship psalms, Psalm 136.
Did the Israelites deserve God’s deliverance? Do we deserve salvation? God loved them then, just as He loves us now. God kept his covenant with Abraham and saved the people of Israel, and He likewise keeps His promise to save us if we call on Him. In this continued study of Exodus, we learn a little bit more about the people of Israel and God’s great love and compassion for them.
When Jesus returns, how will we know it’s really Him, not an impostor? As Alistair Begg often says, “The main things are the plain things, and the plain things are the main things.” On Truth For Life, we’ll examine the clear answers given in Scripture.
