Stories help us relate one thing to another and the Bible is no different. Chuck Swindoll shares stories from his life in The Swindoll Study Bible to help us connect the real word of the Bible with the real world of today.
God’s Word is relevant—but it’s also practical for our lives today. Chuck Swindoll’s goal in writing this study Bible is to make the complicated simple without being simplistic so anyone can grasp scriptural truth and deepen his or her walk with Jesus.
God’s desire is that we’d learn His Word so that we’d walk closer with His Son. Chuck Swindoll has spent his entire life studying the Bible and he decided to share his love for it and what he’s learned along the way about it.
If I am going to lead others I must connect with them. Listening is connecting. Connecting is the key to influencing. Influencing is leading. If I don’t listen then I don’t connect and I won’t lead.
To those who weep from loss, Jesus offers hope—a future resurrection and eternal life to all who believe. When God delays answering our prayers, remember that He has a better time and way. When facing our old enemy death, remember that Jesus has charted a redemptive plan that leads us to eternal life.
Jesus claimed to be the Door. Only through Him can people enter the door of salvation, just as only through the gate of the sheepfold can sheep enter the safety of their pen.
Like potatoes in a pressure cooker, we 21st-century creatures understand the meaning of stress. A week doesn’t pass without a few skirmishes with those “extrinsic agents” that beat upon our fragile frames.
When Jesus, the Light, healed a man born blind, the Pharisees condemned Him for breaking the Sabbath. They were the real blind men who live in the darkness of their spiritual pride and wouldn’t admit their need for Jesus.
Reframing requires us to mentally examine our assumptions, beliefs, and values; to emotionally adjust our attitudes and harness our feelings; and to cultivate new daily habits and routines.
The Pharisees reacted to Jesus over His claim, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). Their hostility escalated from opposition to insult to violence, displaying traits of those who reject Jesus—a lack of knowledge, perception, and humility.
