The call came down from Command, and your warrior husband is out the door, leaving you behind to handle whatever he has left undone. Whether it’s the day-to-day monotony, the inevitable appliance that breaks, or the months without his presence beside you, being a military spouse brings challenges few appreciate. Yet God sees you and longs for you to boldly step into his plan. He purposely chose you for this moment - for your man. He wants to give you abundantly more than what you have right now and desires you to thrive as your warrior’s bride.

To some people, saying that David had a godly heart is almost offensive. How do you apply that description to a man whose legacy includes neglecting responsibilities, lust, adultery, murder, deception, hypocrisy, and callous indifference? Saul, David’s predecessor as king of Israel, was guilty of deliberate rebellion, but Scripture gives no account of him ever engaging in the kind of disgusting activity that characterized David’s behavior during his sin with Bathsheba. Yet Saul, when he sought forgiveness, was rejected. What made David different?

As a woman leading a life of influence, you may find yourself without sufficient clarity or equipping for the challenges you face.

Within The Leader's Wife, Debby Thompson addresses some of the most difficult questions facing wives of leaders. With vulnerability and candor, Debby speaks from her own mistakes and discoveries.

People with bad feelings and feeling-directed behavior - anger, fear, worry, depression - usually are given a psychiatric label. Initially, I was comfortable with that approach, but I have come to realize that people must be evaluated based on a proper understanding of the Bible. When that happens, the whole person (thinking, wanting, and doing) will be considered - not just outward behavior and feelings.

Many readers of the Bible assume that when Jesus did a miracle it was, fundamentally, to prove that he was God; Jesus was pulling out his God card. What is startling is that Jesus never made the case that this was the primary purpose of his miracles. If we miss what his miracles do reveal, we may be missing out on great insights into the one who loves us and came to rescue us. Brian leads his listeners to a fresh vision of what is conveyed in the gospel accounts of Jesus' miracles. Uncovering what is there in the text, we see the miracles in a reinvigorated, vibrant way.

There is a desperate need for effective leadership today: in our nation, in our churches, in our families, and even in ourselves. The Bible uses the term armorbearer to describe leaders who offer help, support, and strength to those around them. These types of servant-leaders are needed now more than ever. Using Scripture as the guide, Armorbearers takes listeners down a path of self-discovery, pursuing greatness by developing character that is forged on the anvil of self-restraint and tested through the heat of self-discipline.

We all wonder: Why am I here? Is this all there is? Is there more to my life than what I’m currently seeing? So many common questions and desires, but what is the path to a purposeful existence? We must all answer one question for ourselves: Will I live a life that is focused on me, my dreams, my goals, what I want, the success I deserve, and where I want to go - the wheres, or will I live a life that is focused on others and the message of love and hope that can be found only in Christ - the whats?

Many of us could finish that sentence in our sleep. John 3:16 is a beautiful scripture that neatly and simply sums up the message of the Gospel. But what do all the other 3:16s in the Bible have to tell us? The words of the Bible weave a tapestry of love, particularly the love that our Heavenly Father has for his children. But a love so deep and so wide cannot be contained in one memorized phrase. It takes multiple authors of sixty-six individual books to begin to explore the mystery of God's care for us.

Evolution and creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject creation out of hand - "It is not science or fact as evolution is," they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible.

Foster families are unsung heroes, willing to stand on the front lines for children who can’t stand up for themselves. But fostering can also be a lonely journey as friends and family members pull away from the fear of the unknown. We all have a job to do, and it starts by stepping forward and wrapping around those who are sacrificing so much.

David was the “man after God’s own heart,” yet his life was characterized by hardship. During his lifetime, he was fired, became homeless, grieved the loss of three children, built a nation, lost almost everything after his affair with Bathsheba, and then saw a work that was dear to him given to another.

No one book, or even all books together, can tell fully the greatness of Jesus Christ. While that is true, we can still point to the things that God has revealed in His Word. He is far greater than our greatest imaginations. He is fully God but also fully man. He not only created the universe, but He also holds it all together. He is both the sacrifice for our sins and our Great High Priest. He is ever the Pioneer, leading the way.

The way to grieve God’s way is to model how Jesus grieved. The Bible teaches that Jesus grieved appropriately, properly, and with an eternal perspective. His grief was uncomplicated and forward-looking. Jesus’ motivation for all of life was pleasing His Father which influenced His perspective and response to the death of Lazarus, the fall of Jerusalem, and His own death. He knew and applied the principle of gain through loss.
