Dwarfing The Bully - #2584
The challenge before Moses was totally intimidating - he felt totally inadequate. Like me facing Boomer. Like you facing the challenge in front of you right now. It may be one of those times when you feel like this is a total mismatch between what you have and what it's going to take. Listen to the five-word answer from God that totally reverses the power equation - "And God said, 'I will be with you." End of discussion.

Running Hard In The Wrong Direction - #2586
Could it be that some earth-stuff has become the central pursuit of your life? That's not what you were created to pursue. And right now Jesus is pursuing you, trying to intercept you as you run toward a goal that doesn't count. He's trying to get you turned around "to seek first His kingdom." He doesn't want the epitaph that goes with your name to be those two hollow words - "Wrong way."

The Greatest Miracle Known to Man - #5930
Jesus, this name you have to believe in, means "Jehovah saves." So when you "believe in His name," you're telling Jesus that you're taking Him as your personal Rescuer from the death penalty for your sins, because He's the only One who died for them. Which brings us to the eternal life-or-death question: has there been a time when you've done that?

Life On Death Row - #2942
God says condemned people can go free - people sentenced to die can, in a moment, have that death penalty canceled and receive the gift of eternal life. How? By putting your total trust in Jesus - Who went to the cross as your substitute, dying your death penalty. In the moment you say, "Jesus, I'm Yours," you have "crossed over from death to life."

When Swimming Can't Help - #3018
All that any religion can offer you is a book of swimming instructions - their way to swim to God. But it doesn't matter if they're Protestant swimming instructions or Catholic swimming instructions or Jewish or Moslem or Buddhist or New Age. Swimming instructions won't rescue a drowning man or woman. Only the Savior can do that. And only Jesus did the dying it requires to get rid of your sin and get you into a relationship with your Creator.

Exclusive Use - #2288
Maybe you have been taken over by your recreation, by television, by your search for a mate. Maybe you are really controlled by the pain of the past, or the anger or the bitterness in your heart, your ambition, your pride. Whatever it is, it didn't, and it probably wouldn't die for you. Nobody loves you like Jesus. Nobody else should have your allegiance, your best. You were created for the exclusive use of the one who purchased you with His blood to be used for what He wants to accomplish where you work, where you go to school, where you live, in what you buy, in what you own, in what you watch, in what you listen to.

A Christmas Survival Kit - #2596
If you are going to protect the heart of Christmas and not succumb to the hassle of Christmas, you must protect a quiet spot at the beginning of each day where quietness and trust will be your strength. Think about those birds in that painting. Peace was not the absence of a storm, it was peace right in the middle of it. They found their quiet spot. Well the secret is the same for you. The more hectic the season is, the harder it is to get your quiet time with the Lord and the more you need it.

The Last Monster In The Dark - #2500
Death, that last monster in the dark pursues us throughout our life, and we know it will ultimately catch us. But you don't ever need to fear that moment again - if you have your hand in the hand of Jesus, the One who has beaten that monster once and for all.

Faucet Fascination - #2900
God is your Reservoir - and He never dries up. So don't sweat the faucet. Your Father has lots of ways to see that you have what you need.

It's A Too Small World - #2530
When you invite Jesus into your life, it's this Jesus you get! He wants you to be like Him, self-forgetful, not self-focused. A world that's only as big as you are is too small a world to live in. Jesus invites you to break out, to start finding the needs around you and doing something about them. To focus on others instead of yourself, to find your life by giving it away, not to lose your life by hanging onto it.
