Forgive Your Enemies
Ephesians 4:26-27 says, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity!” The word “opportunity” in this verse means territory or ground. In other words, anger gives “ground” to the devil. Bitterness invites him to occupy a space in your heart, to rent a room. Believe me, he’ll move in and stink up the place! Gossip, slander, temper— anytime you see these, Satan has claimed a bunk....

No Easy Solution
Life turns every person upside down. No one escapes unscathed. Not the woman who discovers her husband is in an affair. Not the teenager who discovers a night of romance has resulted in a surprise pregnancy. Not the pastor who feels his faith shaken by questions of suffering and fear. We’d be foolish to think we’re invulnerable. But we’d be just as foolish to think evil wins the day. The Bible vibrates with the steady drumbeat of faith; God recycles evi...

Let’s Make a Plan
You can’t control the weather, you aren’t in charge of the economy, you can’t un-wreck the car, but you can do this: you can map out a strategy. Remember, God is in this crisis. Ask Him to give you a plan, two or three steps you can take today. Seek counsel from someone who’s faced a similar challenge. Ask friends to pray. Look for resources. Reach out to a support group. Make a plan. You’d prefer a miracle?&#...

God Is in this Crisis
Do you recite your woes more naturally than you do heaven’s strength? No wonder life’s tough. You’re assuming God isn’t in this crisis. Isabel spent her first three and a half years in a Nicaraguan orphanage. As with all orphans, her odds of adoption diminished with time. And then the door slammed on her finger! Why would God permit this innocent girl to feel even more pain? Might He be calling the attention of Ryan Schnoke sittin...

That’s God’s Job
Seems too easy. Doesn’t mom need to experience what she gave? A few years wondering if she’ll see her daughter again, some pain-filled nights, a bit of justice. Isn’t some vengeance in order? Of course it is. God cares about justice more than we do. In Romans 12, Paul says, “Never pay back evil for evil. Leave that to God, for He has said that he will repay those who deserve it.” We fear the evildoer will slip into...

The Space of Grace
Revenge builds a lonely house. Space enough for one person. The lives of its tenants are reduced to one goal: make someone miserable. They do—themselves! Keep a sharp eye out for the weeds of bitter discontent. God’s healing includes a move out of the house of spite, toward the spacious ways of grace, away from hardness toward forgiveness. Can He really? you wonder. Can He clean up this mess? This history of sexual abuse? This raw anger at ...

Let God Change the Way You Think
Were your growing up years hard years? Family pain is the deepest pain because it was inflicted so early; it involves people who should have been trustworthy. You were too young to process the mistreatment. You didn’t know how to defend yourself. Besides, the perpetrators of your pain were so large. Your dad, mom, uncle, big brother—they towered over you, usually in size, always in rank. When they judged you falsely, you believed them. As a r...

God’s Definitive Answer
At some point we all stand at this intersection and ask this question: Is God good when the outcome is not? The definitive answer to the goodness of God comes in the person of Jesus Christ. He’s the only picture of God ever taken. He pressed his fingers into the sore of the leper. He inclined his ear to the cry of the hungry. He didn’t retreat at the sight of pain, just the opposite. Cruel accusations of jealous men? Jesus knows their st...

God Is Always Good
When the cancer’s in remission, we say God is good. When the pay raise comes, we announce God is good. But is God only good when the outcome is? Most, if not all of us, have a contractual agreement with God. I pledge to be a good, decent person and God, in return, will: Save my child. Heal my wife. Protect my job. Only fair, right? Yet, when God fails to meet our expectations we’re left spinning in a tornado of questions. ...

Wait on the Lord
Waiting is easier said than done. Waiting doesn’t come easy for me. I’ve been in a hurry all my life. Pedal faster, drive quicker. I used to wear my wristwatch on the inside of my arm so I wouldn’t lose the millisecond it took to turn my wrist. I wonder if I could’ve obeyed God’s ancient command to keep the Sabbath holy. To slow life to a crawl for twenty-four hours. The Sabbath was created for frantic souls like me, people...
