Good Can Come from Pain
by Curt Dodd on November 6th, 2025
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) Have you ever found yourself asking God this question, “Lord, how can any good come from this pain I’m dealing with?” Maybe you went on to say, “I thought You loved me. Why are you allowing me to go through this immense pain? Why don’t you intervene right now?... Read More

Praise God for Your Story
by Curt Dodd on December 14th, 2024
And they praised God because of me. (Galatians 1:24) Paul’s reputation definitely preceded him. His story of coming to faith in Christ circulated throughout the east long before he had made one of his “missionary journeys.” Before Christ, Paul was a stone-cold legalist. He even took it upon himself to organize the extermination of early believers. His efforts led to the stoning death of Stephen,... Read More

Handling Stress
by Curt Dodd on August 31st, 2024
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else -- to the nearby villages -- so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” So he traveled throughout... Read More

Responding to the Gospel
by Curt Dodd on April 20th, 2023
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just a message to be proclaimed; we must respond to the message. According to Scripture, several responses to the Gospel are required. The first response is to fear God. People who sin have much to fear from God. We don't hear preaching or teaching today a... Read More

Counterfeit Teaching
by Curt Dodd on March 10th, 2023
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:14) We are very susceptible to counterfeit preaching and teaching from the Word of God today. It is amazing to me how large numbers of people embrace churches whose preaching and teaching are a mile wide and an inch deep! There is a lack of ... Read More

Suit up for Battle
by Curt Dodd on February 21st, 2023
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when... Read More

Speak Genuinely
by Curt Dodd on November 20th, 2022
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. (Proverbs 16:24)I had a professor in seminary who spoke in a cadence all of the time. When I would see him, he would say, “How are you doing, Mr. Dodd?” I wanted to say it back the way he spoke, but I didn't. I just said, “I'm okay, thank you.” That’s how he talked.I was thinking to myself, “Something's messed up h... Read More
