Radical Adjustments, Part One
Radical adjustments make waves, not friends. Heads sometimes roll and hearts often break. The uninvolved public seldom understands or agrees, especially at the outset.

Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
The Hammer, the File, and the Furnace
As difficult as it may be for you to believe this today, the Master knows what He’s doing. Your Saviour knows your breaking point. The bruising and crushing and melting process is designed to reshape you, not ruin you. Your value is increasing the longer He lingers over you.
Innovation, Part Two
Take one of those many things that keeps dragging you under and search for a creative way to solve the problem. And don’t quit until it’s done...and that smile of relief returns to your face.
Innovation, Part One
It takes guts to innovate, because it requires creative thinking. Thinking is hard enough, but creative thinking—ah, that’s work!
Pain
I have tried and I cannot find, either in Scripture or history, a strong-willed individual whom God used greatly until He allowed him to be hurt deeply.
The Shadow of the Giant, Part Two
With a well-worn leather sling and a smooth stone, and unbending confidence in his mighty God, David introduced Goliath and all the Philistine hordes to the Lord of hosts, whose name they had blasphemed long enough.
The Shadow of the Giant, Part One
Some 10 miles away, a handsome, muscular teenager—the runt in a family of eight boys—was sent on an errand by his father. That innocent errand proved to be an epochal event in Jewish history.
Start Where You Are, Part Two
One of the most encouraging things about new years, new weeks, and new days is the word new. Webster reveals its meaning: “refreshed, different from one of the same that has existed previously...unfamiliar.”
Start Where You Are, Part One
To start over, you have to know where you are. To get somewhere else, it’s necessary to know where you’re presently standing.
Persistence, Part Two
Enough about me—you’ve got the next season stretching out in front of you. Think of these weeks as a time framework for your own investment. Choose an objective carefully, state it clearly in writing, then, with the persistence of an athlete training for the next Olympiad, go for the goal!
