    Expect These Horrible Consequences if You Ignore God’s Jealousy

    I heard about a gallery owner who called one of his featured artists and said, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The artist said, “Well, what’s the good news?” “The good news is that a man came in here the other day and was looking at your paintings. He asked whether the

    These are certainly days to watch the headlines. Yes, it’s informative to read the articles too.

    Greg Laurie: The Bible Verse Nonbelievers Love to Misquote

    The Word of God is always relevant. Period. As we take note of the signs of the times, and as they seem to be converging and escalating day by day right before our eyes, we might find ourselves wondering if the Bible will “keep up” with the swift march of events. Everything seems to be

    Greg Laurie Answers a Tricky Question About Heaven

    Sometimes it is difficult to wrap our minds around this eternal destination called heaven. What will it be like for us? Will it seem strange? Will it really feel like home? The mental pictures we conjure up seem so surreal, so mystical, so misty and foggy at times. But there is nothing misty or foggy

    Greg Laurie: Why the Rapture Hasn’t Happened (Yet)

    When I first became a Christian back in 1970, lots of people were talking about the return of Jesus Christ. The top-selling book of that entire decade was The Late Great Planet Earth, by Hal Lindsey, which spoke in depth about Bible prophecy and the signs of the times. Driving around the roads and freeways,

    These 4 Things Will Hinder Your Prayers

    In a way, all prayer is actually answered. God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no and wait. When God says no to our prayers, we think He didn’t answer them. But actually, He did. He said no. That’s an answer. Sometimes God tells us to wait, because God has his timing. And sometimes God

    Greg Laurie: This Is Why We Don’t See Revival

    Almost 50 years ago, a great spiritual awakening known as the Jesus Movement swept across America. Time magazine called it the “Jesus Revolution”, which is interesting, considering it was during the time of a sexual revolution as well. Moral standards were replaced with “free love,” and sexual promiscuity was wildly rampant. And let’s not forget

    Greg Laurie: It’s Time for Another Jesus Revolution

    The last great spiritual awakening in America was the Jesus movement, which took place about 40 years ago. I was there, and I think we can not only learn from history, but we can be inspired by history. A few years earlier, an April 8, 1966, Time magazine’s cover posed this question: “Is God Dead?”

    Not long ago, I was scheduled to speak at our church in Hawaii, Harvest Kumulani Chapel, on a Sunday morning. A couple of nights before, I noticed my legs were throbbing when I went to sleep. I had never had that before, and the next night it was even worse. When I went to church

    I recently watched a documentary on the life of David Cassidy titled David Cassidy: The Last Session, and let me tell you, it was just absolutely heartbreaking. To me, the story could be summed up this way: David had a deep longing for a father. He had one, of course, in Jack Cassidy, who was

    I read the other day that $5.8 billion in gift cards goes unclaimed every year. Think of all that money not utilized. Those gift cards are already paid for. They just need to be cashed in. The Bible is filled with promises from God that we all too often disregard like unused gift cards. Someone

    If there is a sin that is prevalent in the church today, it’s prayerlessness. So often we miss out on what God wants to do because we don’t pray. As Christians, we don’t want to break God’s commandments, which would be committing sins of commission. But we also can be guilty of the sin of
