How Leaders With Hidden Sin Can Fake It Until Revealed
Caution: Being spiritually gifted can be hazardous to your spiritual health. Why? Because your success might lead you to conclude you have God’s approval. The last thing you or I want is to become yesterday’s man or woman. No one wants to be a has-been. No one needs to be that. There are two kinds

When Believers Cease to Believe in the Supernatural
As the pastor of a Primitive Baptist church, my friend Charles Carrin was an ardent cessationist and entrenched five-point Calvinist for many years. He subscribed—as all cessationists do—to what I believe to be an unbiblical view: that God by His own will “ceased” long ago to deal with His people in a direct manner supernaturally.

A Letter to John MacArthur
Dear Dr. MacArthur, I have admired you as an able writer and speaker for years. I have not only read your book Strange Fire but have listened to your talks as well as the panel discussions at your recent conference. I am as Reformed theologically as you are and can say we are on the

Will You Forgive God?
It’s an unthinkable concept—forgiving the One who grants you life—yet countless believers feel betrayed by God. Instead of harboring bitterness toward him, you can learn the truth about walking in total forgiveness. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went. … [And yet

The Value of Loneliness
In May 1984 Billy Graham spoke at Westminster Chapel. His subject was “loneliness.” He took his text from a strange verse; Psalm 102:6, in the King James Version, in which the psalmist likens himself to an owl in the desert. Graham definitely hit a nerve! There are so many people today who are lonely.Loneliness is…

Discipline: The Path to Joy
Often we despise the thing that is designed to take us to the next level of blessing and anointing—the chastening of the Lord.I remember exactly where I was when the meaning of James 1:2-3 dawned on me. I wasn't at an all-night prayer meeting. I wasn't at the end of a 40-day fast. No, I…

When You Can’t Have It Your Way
DOES GOD EVER ASK HIS SERVANTS TO WALK WITH HIM IN PLACES THAT ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND EVEN UNDESIRABLE? THE SCRIPTURES AND HISTORY TELL US, YES.One of the most stunning comments I ever heard, almost a throwaway remark, came from one of the most famous ministers in the world. He said to me, "R.T., the more…

What If I Don’t Forgive?·
Unforgiveness says three things to God (hint: none of them good). God is no fan of an unforgiving spirit—at all. Jesus was clear about it: “If you do not forgive men their trespasses, your Father will not forgive your trespasses” (Matt. 6:15, NKJV). Why does He so hate an unwillingness to forgive?· ·1. It shows

His Faith and Our Faith
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." —Romans 1:17 It is one thing for us to believe it once and be electrified and be thrilled, to have our world turned upside down,…

Keep No Record of Wrongs
Though seemingly impossible, you can forgive—completely—and finally let go of the past I received a heartrending letter from a couple who had heard me teach on the subject of total forgiveness a few years ago. They told me what their son-in-law had done to their daughter and grandchildren. It was an awful story. “Are you saying we

How to Recognize God
I can think of nothing worse in the world than for something that God is in to be happening and I not recognize it. When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it." -Genesis 28:16 The most wonderful thing that can happen…

A Grateful Nation
God loves a grateful nation. Just as an individual cannot "out-thank" the Lord-for God pours out His blessing more than ever, so a nation cannot out-thank God either.Just as those individuals who praised God on Palm Sunday possibly did so selfishly, even ignorantly and for the wrong reasons—and God accepted their praise, so God accepts…

God’s View of Marriage
Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. … “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel. —Malachi 2:15-16 Here we meet one of the most important things God has said in relation to the family: “I hate divorce.” Why is this so relevant? We are living in

When God Shows Up
Perhaps God spoke to you at a particular time or was present on a particular occasion. At the time, it didn’t seem as if it was God who was doing the speaking or even if God was present at all. You underestimated, if not rejected, what He did or what He said. Only years later…

Steps to Totally Forgiving Others
Since forgiveness is a choice, what is the next step? If we are persuaded that it is right and have decided to do it (and not look back), what next? 1. Make the deliberate and irrevocable choice not to tell anyone what they did.You may need to do this for therapeutic reasons, but only to
