How To Have A Meaningful Quiet Time

Christianity is not a legal relationship, it is a love relationship. Ten thousand “don'ts” will never make you one iota more like the Lord Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Himself Who makes you like Him. But you need to spend time with Him. I want to give you five factors for spending some quiet time with Him each day.

A Thanksgiving Visit With Adrian Rogers

Chris Fabry: We’re going to go behind the scenes as it were, maybe just a short step back from the pulpit, and hear a personal word from your heart. When you were a boy growing up in south Florida, what was Thanksgiving like for you?

Dr. Rogers: We didn’t go “over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house,” or let the sleigh bring us through the snow, because down there it’s like summer all year long! We had Thanksgiving, but for some reason my mother just did not get into celebrating birthdays, Thanksgiving or Christmas to a big degree. I love the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I’m an innate Thanksgiving person.

It Is Decision That Determines Destiny

The passage above relates an episode in the history of Israel. What would happen to you if you were in the same valley of decision between these two mountains? Let me help by giving you seven principles of choice. Your choices—your decisions—will determine your destiny.

Raising Young Champions

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

If you are a parent, this Scripture is issuing you a challenge. Mom and Dad, which of these do you want in your home─champions or prodigals? If you want champions, let’s take a closer look at Proverbs 22:6.

The Decision To Become An Atheist

Why does someone decide to become an atheist? Perhaps they’ve been raised in a home where their parents are atheists. Perhaps they started out in life believing in God, but when they prayed about a situation and didn’t get the answer they wanted—or didn’t get it quickly enough—they said, “Well, there must not be a God after all.” Or they decided the problem of why God allows evil in the world is just too great to overcome.

The Future Is Here

An in-depth study of the book of Revelation is no simple matter. But what could be timelier in these uncertain days than a verse-by-verse review of this prophetic book?

Dr. Rogers reminded us often of how grateful we should be that God gave us Revelation! But I can tell you Satan is not. He hates this book, for it dispels the fog and gives believers a hope that is steadfast and sure.

We would do well to look carefully at what the Bible says about “those things that will be hereafter,” for false prophets seek to profit, charlatans concoct predictions, and “ministers” promote themselves with doomsday warnings.

The Golden Key To The Book Of Revelation

World events are so disturbing, many are asking, “Could the Second Coming of Christ be close at hand?” A few who call themselves ministers are predicting the actual year and day of “the end”—in direct violation of the statements of Christ Himself! (Matthew 24:36, 25:13; Mark 13:32)

The book of Revelation is often hard to understand. And many details won’t become clear until these events begin to unfold, but God is not trying to conceal; He’s is trying to reveal.

Our Great Savior

“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.” (Matthew 12:42)

The Pharisees were criticizing, castigating, and judging Jesus. And Jesus responded by saying, “Look, a greater than Solomon is here.” Now, what caused Jesus to say that?

Tuning Up Tired Marriages

Many couples today do not have a magnificent marriage. Many do not even have a mediocre marriage. In fact, many have a miserable marriage. And the devil knows that if he can hurt us at home, he can hurt us everywhere — in the church, in the school, in society, and in the nation. So Satan levels his biggest artillery at our homes.

But in Ephesians five, God has given the husband and wife some roles in order to have healthy, Christ-honoring marriages.
