Jesus Has a Question for You
Chuck Swindoll recalls the scene in Scripture where Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"

A Good Man or the God-Man? The Case for the Deity of Jesus
Scholars and historians have debated for centuries whether Jesus of Nazareth was simply another human being or if He was truly divine. This article provides evidence from several different angles to support the truth that Jesus was fully God and fully man. As a man, He was able to take on the punishment for our human sin. And as God, He was able to triumph over sin and death, rising from the dead and offering salvation to all.

This article was written to answer this specific question, and it explains clearly the theology behind Jesus’s substitutionary death to pay the penalty required for our sins.

Christian Dating & Relationships

A Sheltering Tree
There is a pattern found in Scripture of how God chooses to minister to His servants when they get beaten down by opposition. His method can be described in a word: friendship. Chuck Swindoll gives several accounts of how God provided human relationships to keep people from giving up at their lowest points. We all need to find that kind of support in our lives and be willing to provide it to close friends when they need a place of rest and acceptance.

The Night After Christmas
In a humorous spin of the well-known "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem, Wayne Stiles reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas by lamenting what it has become for so many, in spite of our best intentions.

Discovering the "Missing Jewel" of the Church
Chuck Swindoll points out that the idea of worship has become too vaguely understood in the church today. Many liken worship to a particular style of music or teaching.

Pharisaism
Jesus opened a five-gallon can of worms the day He preached His Sermon on the Mount. There wasn’t a Pharisee within gunshot range who wouldn’t have given his last denarius to see Him strung up by sundown. Did they hate Him!

Discipleship & Evangelism

The Winsome Witness
I remember a fun 'n' games night around the supper table in our house. It was wild. First of all, one of the kids snickered during the prayer (which isn't that unusual) and that tipped the first domino.
At the Threshold of an Open Door
When I was growing up, I never knew cursing, drinking, divorce, or what people commonly call "the wild life." And believe it or not, at the time I didn't know the rest of the world was any different.
Giving and Living the Gospel
One of the most effective evangelists I have ever known was a fellow who ran a service station on Arlington Avenue just outside Boston.
A Unique Spokesperson: A Lesson from the Life of Elijah
Chuck Swindoll sees the Old Testament character Elijah as an unlikely choice for the one to stand up to a king and speak out for biblical truth. But God chose him for his commitment and his heart for God in the face of evil. In the same way, God has an important calling today for anyone who is willing to stand alone for Him.
It Takes Courage
Deep within, we imagine ourselves as a mixture of Patrick Henry, Davy Crockett, John Wayne, and the prophet Daniel!

Family & Parenting

Taking It Easy with Time and Touch
Chuck reminds us that the window of opportunity in which a parent can truly influence a child and shape his or her character does not stay open forever. That's why parents have to be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to prioritize meaningful time with their children during the years their children most need them. Nothing else in our schedules could possibly be as important!
Three Tips for Your Family
The longer I live, the more convinced I become of how easy it is to allow irretrievable moments to slip away. I thought I learned this when Cynthia and I reared our four children.

Father's Day

For Dads
I don't often recommend a volume without reservation, but I think every man should read Temptations Men Face by Tom Eisenman....
A Dad's Greatest Gift
Dad, is it possible you’ve gotten overly committed, so involved in your work or some away-from-home project or hobby that it is draining your time and energy with your family?

Fear & Peace

Buried Long Enough
Solomon once wrote: "He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out" (Proverbs 10:9).
Life Is Difficult: A Lesson from the Life of Job
Chuck Swindoll recalls all of the sudden losses Job experienced, within just a few days, through no fault of his own. Chuck challenges us to think of how we would respond after such unjust circumstances, when we then couldn't hear the voice of God through our turmoil.
Think Theologically, Not Logically
Sometimes life hits us so hard that we begin to doubt all we've learned about God and the Bible. Our circumstances loom large and crowd out our view of anything else. At those times, this is a very practical and helpful article to read. Chuck Swindoll encourages us to remain hopeful by relying on our all-powerful, loving, and never-changing God.
Peace That Exceeds Understanding
Is it possible to have peace and calmness when the events all around you are telling you that you can't? Chuck Swindoll states that the way to this peace — shalom — is through a simple but complete trust in God's promises of support. That's why the world cannot understand this kind of inexplicable peace. It can't be manufactured apart from a willingness to release our cares into God's loving care.
Despite Your Circumstances
Few people in the first century had a deeper understanding of God's grace than the apostle Paul.
God Is Faithful
Why did God propel the young girl named Esther to the position where she alone could influence the fate of the Jewish people? Chuck Swindoll suggests that it's because God knew Esther had a teachable heart and a humble and obedient spirit. He knew she would not be swayed by the trappings and all the temptations of kingdom life but would remain grounded in the teachings and faith that Mordecai had modeled to her. How would you do today if God tested you? Would you have a teachable spirit as Esther did?
It's Not About You
Drawing from the apostle Paul's example of how he accepted his own weaknesses and hardships, Chuck Swindoll reminds us of what we often don't want to hear: our life on earth is for the purpose of making us more like Christ. Unfortunately, nothing does that better than the trials and pains we suffer. But if we, like Paul, can keep our eyes on the ultimate goal of letting God work through us, we'll learn to accept joyfully whatever God brings us and not seek the easy, pain-free life instead.
God Knows Your Ways
"God has the whole world in His hands." Remember the old gospel song?
Everything Is Under Control
At the heart of life's major struggles is a theological issue.
Hope Beyond the Hurt
Reflecting upon his father’s lingering grief after his mother’s death, Chuck Swindoll gives valuable suggestions on how to help someone walk through the stages of grief and see beyond it to a hopeful future. If you have lost someone dear or know of someone who has recently suffered loss, this article gives perspective to help you grieve in a healthy manner by seeing both the past and the future appropriately.
How to Trust When You're Troubled
Chuck Swindoll writes this article for those who have been carrying a burden for some time and see no relief ahead. He invites them to learn from Job, who, after suffering more loss than most of us will ever suffer, decided not to waver from his belief in God’s control over his life. Job refused to forget God’s unchanging love for His children. He accepted from God’s hand whatever tool God chose to use to shape Job and teach him about Himself, just as we can today.
Hope Beyond Failure
Learn how Jesus reached out to Peter after his failure and gave him a second chance. He'll do that for you too!

Leadership

Unique Techniques: A Lesson from the Life of David
Just as in David's day, we tend to evaluate people based too much on the external characteristics we can see: appearance, stature, poise, demeanor. Chuck Swindoll reminds us that it's the size and quality of our faith that makes us great in God's eyes. When we remember this, we don't have to try to fit into others' molds or define ourselves by their expectations.
Authentic Ministry: A Lesson from the Life of Paul
In this article, Chuck Swindoll describes the life and ministry of the apostle Paul as one that was steeped in and driven by the truths of God's Holy Word. Holding fast to his beliefs was what gave Paul strength through times of great opposition and persecution. Chuck encourages us to similarly prepare ourselves for future ministry by making time spent in God's Word a top priority.
What to Do When a Leader Falls
This article addresses the sad, unfortunate situation when a Christian leader is willingly violating God's standards without a repentant heart. It outlines how, when, and why to discipline the offender and thus helps you to go beyond the conflicting emotions involved. The apostle Paul gave some specific directions on this topic so that the sacredness of God's ministry and His calling could be protected.
Spiritual Leadership
Citing Moses's, Peter's, and David's ragtag followers as examples, Chuck Swindoll reminds us that the people God uses in significant ways don't always fit the world's mold of a natural-born leader. When a leader's heart belongs to God and he or she is allowing the Holy Spirit to work through him or her, personal eccentricities and weaknesses cease to matter; this leader will be able to accomplish the ministry God has set before him or her. That should be good news to all of us!
Unambitious Leadership
Chuck Swindoll reminds us that in the school of spiritual leadership, God is the teacher. And only God knows the moment when someone is ready to lead. If you know someone who is aspiring to lead others and can’t wait to start, give him or her this article to read. This person may need to slow his or her upward climb and wait for God’s appointment.
Becoming a Man or a Woman after God's Own Heart
When God scans the earth for potential leaders, He is not on a search for angels in the flesh.

Marriage & Divorce

Anniversaries
This is a reflective article Chuck wrote after celebrating his fiftieth anniversary with his wife, Cynthia. He reminisces on the many shared experiences over the years, the joys and the hardships they both endured, and the transitions they faced as they both learned and developed as people and as Christians.
Marital Grace
Through confessing an area of weakness in his own life and marriage, Chuck explains the necessity of allowing grace into your marriage relationship by trusting your spouse and setting him or her free. Jealous, controlling thoughts and behavior that merely reflect one's own fears and insecurities will smother and stifle your spouse and, therefore, your marriage.
Let's Consult the Architect
Using verses from the book of Proverbs, Chuck Swindoll explains three tools that our Master Builder, God, has given us to help build solid, lasting marriages. Instead of dwelling on the ways our mate could change or improve, we need to work toward increasing our own understanding of our mate and his or her needs and perceptions.
Marriage Is God’s Invention
Chapter 2 of Genesis is a story. If we are careful to examine the symbols and how the inspired author writes the story, we’ll discover that marriage is God’s invention.
Coming Home
I am on a long flight home. I’m tired. The days away were well-spent but exhausting. I am glad I made the trip, but I’m even happier to be coming home. There’s nothing like a few days away to remind me how much I love being home.

Tightwads
Using a rather extreme example, Chuck Swindoll illustrates the pointlessness of being stingy with our wealth and possessions in this life. He asserts that whoever is reluctant to part with some of his or her assets is also one who doesn't dare to dream big dreams or attempt great things for God. This article challenges us to evaluate our generosity and our vision of what God can accomplish through our faith.
Ragged-Edge Faith and Reckless Generosity
Chuck Swindoll reflects on the strong faith of his older brother, Orville, and on Orville's ability to trust in Jesus to meet the needs of his family. We live in a materialistic society, where our security seems to come from what we own and have stashed away. Chuck suggests that whether we have abundance or are seeing lean times, our security must come only from God and His promise to provide for all of our needs. Only then can we be truly generous.

Prayer & Spiritual Life

Solitude: A Vital Factor in Growing Closer to God
I often smile when I read the Gospel of Mark. He loved the word "immediately." It appears again and again.
Not Forgotten: A Lesson from the Life of Esther
God's presence is not as intriguing as His absence. His voice is not as eloquent as His silence.
Back Door Blessing
I had lunch recently with a businessman who runs his own company. As we talked, the subject of wisdom kept popping up in our conversation.

The Problem with Prayer
Most of us have struggled at times with our prayer life and with understanding how and when God answers prayer. This article gives a unique and valuable perspective to keep in mind when we aren't seeing the results we'd like from our times of prayer. The three suggestions made here may help you pinpoint any errors you may have in your own thinking when it comes to prayer.
Seven Ways to Cultivate Joy
Some may think that joy is an emotion that you either feel or you don't. Chuck Swindoll suggests that joy is more of an intentional attitude that we have a lot of control over. He lists seven practical principles that, when practiced regularly, will be sure to help us put negativity and worry behind us and develop the joyful, steady character God desires of us.
When God Says “No”...Pray
When nobody is around and when we're able to be absolutely honest with ourselves before God, we entertain certain dreams and hopes.
A Joyful Heart...It's Good Medicine!
Chuck Swindoll recognizes the ability to laugh and to find the humor in things as a gift from God to every believer. Even though life brings tragic occurrences our way now and then, God desires that we find joy as we rest in His sovereignty over all things. According to Chuck, a Christian who doesn’t laugh much is not taking God’s divine prescription for spiritual health.
The Spirit Who Is Not a Ghost
The third person of the Trinity is the most elusive and least understood. Charles Swindoll clarifies the role and activity of the Holy Spirit in the life and growth of a Christian. Just because we can’t see Him at work doesn’t mean we can ignore His power and crucial activity on this earth. After all, He dwells inside each one of us believers — with His limitless capabilities!
Defining Liberty
What does it mean to say a Christian has liberty? Chuck Swindoll explains liberty as freedom from something and freedom to do something.

Not to Worry...He's Risen!
Chuck Swindoll explains that the satanic forces of death and evil were working up to the climax of Jesus’s crucifixion on the cross, where it seemed they had won the final victory. But the resurrection of Jesus proved God’s power over the very heart of evil. The varied responses to the news of Jesus’s resurrection mirror the kinds of responses Chuck says he sees today when he presents the gospel message. How have you responded to the call for a new life in Jesus?
The Risk in Grace

Sin

Creating a Legacy of Forgiveness: Cancel the Debt
Chuck Swindoll clarifies in this article what true forgiveness must involve to be complete and in obedience to God's Word.

Amazing Grace on Display
The word grace means many things to many people.
The Devil Made Me Do It?

Why We Have Confidence in the Bible
What is your final authority in life?
The Biblical Basis for Encouragement
Chuck Swindoll centers on some much-quoted verses in Scripture that are, nevertheless, often too infrequently applied. He says that the need for Christians to fellowship together in an atmosphere of acceptance and empowerment has never been greater. The times we live in are growing more and more hostile to those who wish to stand firm for holiness. So we need to be careful not to add to that environment but to counter it with love and grace.
Unquenchable Hope
Throughout his more than forty years as a pastor, Chuck Swindoll has seen many believers who have started out strong in their faith but who have been beaten down over time through difficult circumstances and life events that didn't turn out as expected. Using Scripture, he reminds us of how the promises in the Bible are not just for the future but of great benefit to us right here in the present.
