How to Pray Powerfully for Revival
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. (Ps. 33:8) Our culture cannot get enough exposés on fallen Christian leaders. Something about the revealed hypocrisy, told in such delicious detail, makes a cynical world feel much more at ease in their own sinful skin. But a true Christ Awakening would change all of that. If our church leaders were kept on their faces before God, sure in their callings and submitted to all accountability for their actions and...

Face and Defeat Your Fears
What are our sources of fear? From where do they originate? Past hurts can lead to present fear. Any traumatic event-a painful divorce, a car accident, a debilitating illness can cause us to fear what’s ahead. The hurt we experienced must be properly dealt with before the fear will subside. Lies from Satan and our own self-talk can immobilize us. Satan is called the father of lies (John 8:44), which implies that he tells a lot of them, and he’s good at it. Often, his lies are intended to make...

God's Freedom from False Guilt
So many of us suffer with false guilt; we take moral responsibility for actions, events, and situations that were not our fault. False guilt has no value; it is always detrimental. Where does false guilt come from? False accusations can come from other people (it was your fault that our parents got a divorce), from our own self-talk (if I hadn’t insisted on going out to dinner, we wouldn’t have had the accident). Satan is the primary source of false guilt. He is called the nefarious “accuser...

Honoring Marriage Covenants
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. (Heb.13:4) No doubt, our culture is sex-obsessed and desperately in need of God’s healing and restoration. But if the oxygen supply of impurity is ever to be choked off in this nation, the healing must begin with us. So let’s be done with it. Let’s diligently confess any active impurity in our own hearts and minds, holding ourselves open to the searchlight of...
