This Father’s Day, go beyond the gift. Point that father-figure in your life to the heavenly Father for strength in his calling as a dad.

Faith is refusing to panic. When fear, suffering, or uncertainty threaten to overwhelm us, Scripture reminds us to fix our eyes on God rather than our circumstances and trust his character even when we cannot see the ending.

Is America really a Christian nation? Eric Metaxas shares the surprising, hidden truth he uncovered while writing his book "Revolution."

Twenty-five years ago, Dannah Gresh sparked a national conversation with And the Bride Wore White, a book that encouraged young women to embrace sexual purity and went on to sell more than 300,000 copies. Now, a quarter-century later, she's re-releasing the book in a cultural landscape that looks very different...

爱 神的,也当爱弟兄,这是我们从 神所受的命令。(约翰一书4:21)真正爱神的人也一定会爱身边的弟兄姐妹,会爱神所爱的人,因为神是我们的父,我们都是他的儿女。就像父亲爱他所有的儿女一样,也是希望他的儿女们能够彼此相爱。主来到这个地上,在离开他的门徒们回到父那里之前对门徒们最重要的教导也是要让他们彼此相爱,就像主怎样爱了他们,他们也要怎样相爱。哥林多前书 13:13 如今常存的有信,有望,有爱这三样,其中最大的是爱。在我们的生活中,信心很重要,盼望也很重要,但是使徒保罗说比起这两个,更大的其实是爱,他也在前面告白,如果他有各样的知识各样的能力但是却没有爱的话就算不得什么。看这个世界的话,人们往往是以一个人的能力、成就、地位来判断一个人,但是通过圣经告诉我们的最重要的并不是这些,而是一个人是否过了爱的生活。当我们结束在这地上的生活最终来到神的审判台前时,神不会问:你活着的时候取得了怎样的成就?你拥有多少钱?而是可能会问:你还活着的时候爱了多少?这个也提醒了我自己到底什么才是真正重要的,比起学习各样的知识技能,当然这些也是很重要的,但是更重要的是学习去爱,学习过爱的生活。祷告:亲爱的天父,谢谢你藉着你的话语再次提醒了我什么才是我真正应该抓住的,你是慈爱的父亲,你用爱创造了我,创造了这个世界,你把我创造为爱的存在,是要让我过爱的生活,就像你爱了我一样,我也要这样去过爱的生活。就像你的喜乐来自于你向着我的爱,当我效法你的爱去爱的时候我的里面也会有充满的喜乐,这也是你希望看到的。阿爸父啊,愿你的圣灵每天不断提醒我去实践你的爱,帮助我学会用你的视角看待一切,不束缚在自己的里面,在所做的一切事情上都彰显出你的爱,让你的名得到尊崇得到荣耀,以上祷告奉耶稣的名,阿们。

Years ago, one of the most popular television shows was Mission Impossible. It invited viewers inside of a fascinating intelligence operation to observe the work of highly trained individuals. Jim, the hero, would step into a phone booth, find a tape and play it. The tape would describe a dangerous, life-threatening operation. At the conclusion of the tape, a voice would say, “Jim, in case you choose to accept this assignment, please remember that we will deny that we knew you.” That line perfectly captured the idea of deniability - the act of disowning any connection or responsibility.
