Can you imagine how wonderful it would be for you if you could actually speak to God and hear the Almighty God when He speaks to you? That would mean that you would have a real chance at answering your deepest questions, and resolving a good deal of your nagging doubts. Your present and future will be better defined because you will be applying highly integrated information and data from the omniscient mind of God. You would be your own prophet a good deal of the time, just like the LORD had always wanted you to be. That would also mean you will be spending fewer hours at counseling since ...

The gospel is good news - God's message that He loves you even when you don't deserve it. It's not a story of God searching for one righteous soul, or being willing to meet sinners halfway. The news is so much better than that. God gives grace freely to people who don't deserve it at all - people like you and me. We are recipients of a descending, one-way love that changes everything.

As was the case for millions of other people, I first stumbled over Psalm 40 thanks to U2, the legendary rock and roll band. As the closing track on U2’s 1983 album entitled War, “40” capped a work marked by loss and lament with a hopeful note of longing. And while “40” may have closed an album (and many incredible concerts after that), the song was actually a profound opening as well. For so many, “40” was an invitation to the Christian Scriptures, a reintroduction to what were previously seen as the antiquated and staid pages of the Bible. With U2 providing a new melody by ...

Sorrow and suffering. Why would anyone write about such a thing or, worse, spend a month reading and doing the heavy spiritual work of meditating and praying through a devotional dealing with the most morbid machinations of the soul? In 2004, I moved to South Africa and came face to face with extreme poverty and the ravaging plague of AIDS. I held the hands of the starving and the dying. I cried out. Nothing changed. Years later, the same children were still hungry despite my best efforts. AIDS came to infect our closest friends. We fought. We often lost. The sorrow never released its grip....

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

Weary travelers. You've seen them - everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times we are people like that - if not with our physical luggage then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage.
