Hope For Uncertain Times

Seasons of adversity—economic or otherwise—do not catch God off guard. He knows everything that is going on in our world. He also knows what lies ahead. He is orchestrating all things to fulfill His eternal, redemptive purposes and to glorify Himself.

God cares about how adverse circumstances affect the lives of His children. Those circumstances may be intense and painful at times, but they do not have to overwhelm us or steal our peace. In fact, in the ultimate sense, anything that makes us need God is a blessing!

Crises can provide opportunities for God's people to ...

Hawaii’s Great Awakening: 1835–1840

Titus Coan arrived on the island of Hawaii in 1835 to become the pastor of a church with 23 members. This church was about to see a massive change. Coan was born in Connecticut in 1801, the child of a devotedly religious family. His mother was the aunt of Asahel Nettleton, the well known evangelist of the Second Great Awakening in New England.

The Story of God's Mighty Acts

“We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old” (Psalm 44:1). We have heard that God has at times done very mighty acts. He has not always permitted his church to go on climbing by slow degrees to victory, but he has been pleased at times to smite one terrible blow and lay his enemies down on the earth.

Personal Meditations on Powerful Texts

Though my investments should not bear interest and there be no funds in my IRA, though the yield of the market should fail and the mutuals produce no funds, though I should be laid off from work and there be no gas in the car, yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
