1:00

Do you understand God? I don’t. But I know that even though I don’t understand Him, I know enough about Him to know that He is good— that He promises to strengthen the weak.

Trust in yourself? 1:00

5d ago1:00

1:00

Trust in yourself... Have you ever heard someone say that to you? There was a time in my life when I thought success and strength looked just like that- depending on no one but myself. I quickly discovered I was not perfect. There were times when I failed my friends, my family, and myself. Always, I did that. You’re not perfect either, and you neve…

Do you belong with Jesus? 1:00

6d ago1:00

1:00

Do you belong with Jesus? Or do you feel too broken to be His child? Maybe you don’t feel good enough or holy enough. I want to remind you of what is true. When Jesus came, He was criticized for eating with so-called ‘sinners’; the outcasts of society, people everyone looked down on. But Jesus’ answer was so beautiful. He said, It's not the healthy…

Independence 1:00

7d ago1:00

1:00

Do you ever feel like you have to do everything on your own? Like you can't depend on anyone else? A lot of us think that being independent means being strong. But what if going alone actually means missing out on something amazing? Proverbs 3:5- 6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;do not depend on your own understanding.Seek his will in all yo…

Repent and Believe 1:00

Is Jesus calling you? Do you sense it? Does He feel close? What a beautiful place to be. When Jesus called His followers in the book of Mark, He was very clear about what He was calling them to.

1:00

What do you depend on? Is it the first cup of coffee every morning? Or your close friends? Maybe your job? But what happens in your life when one of those things is taken away?

The Last Enemy 1:01

12d ago1:01

The Bible tells us of a day when Jesus will come back to reign on the earth. It says… The last enemy to be destroyed is death. But we don’t have to wait until that day to experience Jesus’ victory.

Light Brings Beauty 1:01

13d ago1:01

1:01

I live in a dark, cloudy, rainy place in the winter. But some winter days, the sun will come out and the light reveals so much beauty in the landscape. The colors are brighter, the mountains are clear. Light is beauty. This is true in creation, and it’s true in our spiritual lives. Jesus says: I am the light of the world.He also says: When you walk…

Jesus Had a Plan 1:01

14d ago1:01

1:01

We all die. Eventually, our perishable bodies fail and leave this earth. We try so hard to avoid it, and we do all we can to extend our lives naturally so that we can be with the people we love as long as we possibly can. But death is the very thing Jesus walked straight into. Can you imagine this? Moving towards your death instead of trying to esc…

You Can Live 1:01

17d ago1:01

1:01

I was with someone the other day who said, “Yes, Wendy, I believe in a spiritual world. That my spirit will live on.” My question is, where? How? The Bible gives us so much confidence about eternity! That there is life after death and that our spirits will live. And that we can live with God. The Bible tells us that this hope is an anchor for our s…

1:01

You know, my wife, Wendy, and I go around the world and speak to so many people, and we have run into many who’ve attempted suicide.

Experience God Yourself 1:01

19d ago1:01

1:01

Have you ever had a friend rave about a movie or a book, telling you it’s absolutely life-changing? You might be curious, but until you experience it for yourself, how can you truly know? Right? It’s kind of the same thing with faith. One of the disciples, Thomas, found the story of Jesus’ resurrection unbelievable. And he said, “Unless I see the n…

A Superior Being 1:01

20d ago1:01

1:01

I was talking with a friend the other day who said, “Wendy, I do believe in a superior being. Someone or something bigger than me, bigger than this world. But I don't know who or what it is.” What if we could know this being? Really know Him, as a father, as a friend. To know the Creator of the universe? You can! This Creator doesn’t stand far off …

The Healer 1:01

26d ago1:01

1:01

Have you ever been hurt by someone who claimed to be religious? It’s a pain that many have experienced, and it can leave a deep wound. As Jesus was praying with his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane the night before he would be crucified, a group of men came to arrest Jesus. One of His disciples, trying to defend Him, pulled out a sword and cut…

Finding Yourself 1:01

27d ago1:01

1:01

We’re told to find ourselves. That the only way to walk through the world authentically is to figure out who we are. I did this for years and it was stunning how selfish I became. We’re told you must love yourself to find yourself, but this is a lie; I’ve learned it from experience. Jesus came and He gave Himself away. He came not to find Himself, …

He Calls You by Name 1:01

28d ago1:01

1:01

According to the Book of John, the first to see Jesus after He rose from the dead was Mary Magdalene. She had come to weep at His tomb. Jesus approached her and asked, “Why are you weeping?” Even though He spoke to her twice, she did not recognize Him. Then, something beautiful happened. Jesus called out to her by name, “Mary.” At that moment, she …

The One We’ve Waited For 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

It was prophesied long, long ago that one day a sacrificial hero would arrive. He would be God Himself. He would eliminate the power of death, overturn evil, and rescue all who would come to Him. That’s Jesus. Jesus said as He died on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When He took all the sins of the world upon Himself, the Bib…

Who is the real God? 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

Who do you believe God to be? If you’ve been raised in a home or a church where God has seemed hard or unkind, judgmental, or angry, it can be difficult to want a relationship with this type of God. Or to trust Him or to even believe in Him. Yet we all long for truth. Can I encourage you to pick up a Bible? To find out what God is like for yourself…

Did Jesus really die? 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

Have you ever wondered… When Jesus died on the cross, did He really die, or just partially die? How did that work? Well, when He breathed His last on the cross, death attempted to take down the author of life. Without a doubt, He did die. He even lay dead in the grave for three days. Revelation 1:18, says this, Jesus says, I am the Living One; I wa…

Who sees your tears? 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

Who sees your tears? Who sees you cry? Some of us cry easily and openly for all to see. Some of us don’t have anyone we feel safe to cry with. Tears and sadness, agony, or grief are all part of our human experience. The Beautiful thing is that there is ONE who knows every tear. Psalm 56 tells us that God knows... that He collects our tears in a bot…

The Way to Peace 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday, the people bowed down and placed palm fronds on the ground for Him to ride over. This action was a show that they were welcoming, not just any person, but a king. As people were worshiping Him, and shouting, "Hosannah! Blessed is the king of Israel!", what do you think He did? He wept …

God Came to Earth 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

Before Jesus came into the earth as a human, the Bible tells us He already existed. Before the beginning of time! Out of pure, overwhelming love, He willingly became a human baby entering into the very world that He created Himself. He willingly stepped into our human experience, with all of our struggles and limitations, knowing from the very begi…

Generosity Is God’s Idea 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

People say it’s better to give than receive. This truth actually comes from the Bible. Jesus said: You are more blessed to give than receive. And He knows because He gave everything for the world, so that we could receive life. He said: I lay down my life for my friends. Jesus said: Because I live, you will live. What an offer! Have you received al…

Sacrificial Love 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

1 John 3:16 says this... This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Is this the way you’ve thought about God? As the One whose love actually moves us to love others, to show compassion, and moves us to live generously? This isn’t some distant, uncaring G…

We Have a Problem 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

Sin isn’t a popular word; it sounds antiquated. But sin is a real thing. The original Greek word means to miss the mark. To not do what should be done or to do what should not be done. We all know in our hearts what sin is because every single one of us sins. So, how do we deal with this problem? Do we work hard to make up for the wrong things? Do …

What You Cannot Give 1:01

1M ago1:01

1:01

I’m sure that you’ve heard the saying, “It’s better to give than to receive.” Did you know that Jesus is the one who said that? The Apostle Paul quotes Him in Acts 20:35 when he says, “…. by this kind of hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus himself, who said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” There…

What is love? 1:00

2M ago1:00

1:00

What is love? There is a passage in 1 Corinthians that gives us direction on how to love. It's beautiful…and it’s impossible. Love is the most excellent way to live and without love all we do is meaningless. It doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. It doesn’t delight in evil, but rejoices in what is true. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,…

What have you heard about God? 1:00

2M ago1:00

1:00

What have you heard about God? I’ve heard people say that God is in all of us. It sounds lovely, but is it true? The Bible says that we’re all made in the image of God, the likeness of God. But God doesn’t enter our lives until we make a decision to follow Him. John 1 says:To all who believe Him and accept Him. He gives them the right to become chi…

What is the worst day of your life? Our worst days often involve the death of a loved one, a shocking diagnosis, or sometimes it just strings out like the discouragement of chronic pain. No matter how we try to prepare ourselves for what we all know is coming, death and pain feel terribly wrong. Why is that? Well, they feel wrong because they're wr…

What are you looking forward to? Maybe you’re excited about something in the near future. Well, enjoy it! But, I hope you never lose sight of this truth: Life’s pleasures come—they make us happy for a little while. That’s great, but then… they’re gone.

Born to Die 1:00

2M ago1:00

1:00

Jesus was born to die, and we were born to live. It may sound morbid, but when Jesus came as a baby all those years ago, He knew what He was doing. He had a mission, a purpose: to give His life for ours, for every human being, so that we could have life. He told us,The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, and I have come that they may ha…

I had a driver in Zambia named Abraham. I spent the week with him as he drove me all over the city. But as we talked, it became evident that he was disappointed with God.

As human beings, we need constant support, we love acknowledgment, and we need kindness. And there is not enough of it.

God Knows About You 1:00

2M ago1:00

What have you heard about God? Have you heard that He's too busy dealing with the problems of the world to care about you? This thought is a lie. God knows you; He cares about your life.
