Models of Inspiration
Whether it’s at home, work, or church, God calls us to be servant leaders who reflect humility and conviction. By drawing on the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be models of inspiration to others.
“Little” People, “Big” People
God makes some people large, others moderate in stature. Still others are small in size. We frequently make the mistake of calling small folks “little,” but that is an unfortunate and unfair tag. I’m not picking at terms...there is a great deal of difference between being small and being little.
You Can't Please Everybody
When is the last time someone should have looked you in the eye and said, “Mind your own business?” If you spend your time worrying about how others live, you’re idle. You have too much time on your hands.
Respecting and Rebuking the Saints

When Doing What’s Hard Is Best
Teaching from 1 Timothy 5 and Titus 3, Pastor Chuck Swindoll delineates how serving God requires our best effort, right motives, and devoted work. Choosing to sidestep God’s directives, on the other hand, can result in disaster.
What about Widows?

Beyond the Broadcast: What About Widows?
When it comes to caring for widows, it’s easy to be pulled by emotions into unwise decisions. That’s why Paul’s instructions are so helpful. And so are his practical reminders.
What to Do When a Leader Falls
God’s work is sacred. So when a person engaged in ministry repeatedly defies God’s high and holy standards, that individual is to be removed.
