When the Doctor Becomes the Patient

Are you familiar with the movie, The Doctor? It’s based on the true story of an arrogant surgeon who was insensitive to co-workers, to patients and to family members. He developed a cough that didn’t get better and he discovered that he had cancer. Suddenly the tables were turned and the doctor became the patient. [...]

Dying with Courage

One of the most surprising lessons I’ve learned as a pastor is the courageous and hopeful way that many Christians die. They’re not frightened by the prospect of death in their final days. Many of us, however, doubt that we can face death well. We dread the prospect of dying. Our tolerance for pain and [...]

A Mixed Bag of Ancestors

Most of us have someone in our extended family or ancestry that we’d rather not own up to. It’s like the old saying, “You can pick your friends, but not your family.” And Jesus was no exception. His ancestry was quite a mixed bag. For example, David was a brilliant musician and military strategist. He [...]

Without Sacrifice

Are you familiar with the story of David Livingstone? He was an English physician who chose going to Africa – to explore and open the continent for Christian missionaries – instead of a lucrative career at home. The price was huge. He never became rich. He was mauled by a lion, leaving him with a [...]

Unanswered Prayer

As part of research for a book, I asked people for their stories of unanswered prayers. The response was startling. I expected much more disappointment and disillusionment with God and with prayer. Certainly there was some of that, but many people reported that their faith had grown and that they trusted in God more as [...]

The Right Way to Pray

Most people agree that prayer is a good thing. But is there a right and a wrong way to pray? Apparently Jesus thought so. When he observed a religious leader praying with pride about his accomplishments, Jesus said, “Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” When this [...]

Become Like a Child

There’s a simplicity about childhood that most of us outgrow. I think Jesus was letting us in on one of the great truths of all time when he said that we must become like little children to enter the kingdom of God. His point was that anyone who wants to become a Christian must have [...]

Relationships between two people often come to a crossroads when one person behaves in a way the other person considers inappropriate. These are the times when we need to apply love. And the Bible tells us that that love must be “sincere.” In the Greek language in which the New Testament was written, the word [...]

Letting Go of Revenge

The issue of forgiveness is central to Christianity. God wants us to forgive others as he did. But what exactly is involved in forgiveness? First of all, forgiveness is letting go of revenge. God wants us to leave revenge to him. Listen to what the Bible says we should do instead, “If your enemy is [...]

When Others Know Less than You

Have you ever been in a situation where the person in authority over you knew less than you? It’s frustrating to say the least! Jesus had a unique experience when he was only twelve. On his family’s annual trip to Jerusalem, he became separated from his parents. After three days, they found him in the [...]
