Throwing the Stick
by Ministry Support on July 31st, 2026
Are you trying to make God's will match yours?
There's a story about an old woman in Scotland who traveled from village to village selling thread and small household items. Whenever she came to a fork in the road, she would take a stick, throw it up in the air, and whichever direction it pointed when it landed, that's the way she would go.
One day, someone saw her throwing the stick, watching it land, picking it up, and throwing it again. And again. And again.
They asked, "What are you doing?" Read More

Full of the Holy Spirit
by Ministry Support on July 21st, 2026
It is very important that you understand several things about the Holy Spirit. His main job is to point people to Christ. Jesus said, “He will speak about me.” He doesn't talk about Himself; He points people to Christ. When you find people who only want to talk about the Holy Spirit, and they never mention Jesus, something is wrong! The whole focus of the Holy Spirit is Jesus!
The Holy Spirit's primary job is to point people to Christ. He is the quiet partner behind the scenes in the Trinity. His secondary job is to help the believer. Read More

The Closed Gate
by Ministry Support on July 15th, 2026
Have you ever been heartbroken over a missed opportunity?
Seventy years ago, my wife Ginger was five years old. Her dad was an evangelist, and he'd been traveling for weeks. He was on the West Coast, praying he could catch a flight to Oklahoma to spend just one night with his family before heading to the East Coast for another revival.
He left the meeting early. He ran red lights. He drove as fast as he could. And he made it to the airport just in time—to watch them close the gate on the flight he was supposed to be on. Read More

Stop Fighting, Start Thanking
by Ministry Support on July 8th, 2026
Are you fighting what God has allowed?
Read that verse again: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
This attitude of gratitude, regardless of what happens in your life, is essential. It's God's will that you learn to thank Him for whatever life deals you.
Some of us don't like what life has dealt us. We're upset with God because we're right here. We're struggling because our life didn't turn out like we wanted it to. We're in a situation that's not pleasant. We can't seem to get a handle on why God has allowed what He's allowed. Read More

Usin' and Thumbin'
by Ministry Support on July 5th, 2026
Do you know how to find God's will?
Years ago, a young theologian from the Church of England became friends with an uneducated cobbler who knew the Bible remarkably well. Another theologian, prideful and eager to stump the simple man, asked him, "What do you know about the Urim and the Thummim?"
The cobbler said, "Well, I don't rightly know, except I know those words mean 'light' and 'perfection.' They were stones in the high priest's breastplate used for determining God's will. But you know what I've found? If I could just change a letter in each word—instead of the Urim and the Thummim, if I would just be 'usin' and 'thumbin''—I could find the will of God in the Word of God." Read More

Not a Cafeteria
by Ministry Support on July 3rd, 2026
Are you picking and choosing?
Of the things God's Word says about His will, some are easy to embrace. Others are harder to swallow. And many of us treat Christianity like a cafeteria—we walk through, pick the dessert we like, choose an entree that appeals to us, grab the side items that look good, and leave the rest.
"I like three of those five things." Well, it takes all five for you to be rightly aligned with the will of God.
"I'm good with four of them." You're gonna miss God's will. Read More
