Summer has a way of bringing the soul to life — warm weather, longer days, beautiful flowers, and a slower pace that invites connection. But it can also be a season when unkindness quietly takes root, especially among children and young people who are simply following the crowd. One summer, a friendship with a girl across the street gradually pulled toward making fun of other kids on the block, and though it felt terrible, fear kept anyone from speaking up. Looking back as an adult, the understanding is clearer: the girl was hurting, but that didn't make the silence right. Ephesians 4:32 gives us a command that is easy to read past: be kind and compassionate to one another. Most attention falls on the second half of the verse, the call to forgive as God has forgiven us, but the instruction to extend kindness and compassion is equally important and equally non-negotiable. Kindness costs nothing and can be given freely to anyone — an elderly neighbor, a struggling coworker, a single mom in the next apartment. This summer, whether you find yourself at the beach or close to home, the invitation is the same: stand up for what is right, extend love to the people around you, and let the Holy Spirit make you a beacon of Christ's kindness wherever you go. Today's Bible Verse "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."— Ephesians 4:32, NIV Ponder Today Kindness is a command, not a suggestion. Paul's words in Ephesians 4:32 leave no wiggle room. Regardless of the season of the year or the crowd around us, we are called to extend kindness and compassion to one another. Silence in the face of unkindness is its own kind of failure. Not participating in cruelty is a start, but standing up for those being hurt is what truly reflects the heart of Christ. This summer, choose to speak up. Kindness costs nothing and can be given to everyone. There is no shortage of people who need a kind word, a moment of genuine attention, or someone to simply notice them. Look around — the opportunity is closer than you think. You are a new creation in Christ — live like it. When old habits or old crowds try to pull you back into who you used to be, remember that your identity has been redeemed and renewed (2 Corinthians 5:17). Stand your ground in the name of the Lord. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, summertime reminds me of summers from long ago, and I do not want to repeat the mistakes of failing to extend kindness or speak up for others. Please help me to always choose kindness, compassion, and courage. I am not afraid anymore — I will do the right thing. By forgiving others and extending love, I can shine brightly for You. Please help me to be a beacon of Your love to everyone I encounter this summer. Thank You for giving me Your strength, support, and guidance. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Dr. David Menton is a biologist who believes that God created the heavens and the Earth in six days only some six thousand years ago. As he likes to point out, he is a biologist who evolutionists say cannot exist - a biologist who rejects evolution.But Dr. Menton's accomplishments make it hard for evolutionists to deny his right to be considered a top-notch scientist. Before completing his doctorate, David Menton worked as a dermatology researcher at the Mayo Clinic. After earning his doctorate, he worked as a research scientist at the University of Iowa, where he made a major discovery acknowledged by fellow scientists. Dr. Menton discovered that skin cells are 14-sided polygons called tetra-kai-deca-he-drons - sort of fun to say when you get the hang of it. He also discovered that these flat tetra-kai-deca-he-drons are stacked and interlocked like poker chips, one exactly on top of another. From this he learned that when skin cells reproduce too rapidly they do not stack as they should resulting in skin problems like psoriasis. No, there can be no question that Dr. Menton is a qualified biologist.We wouldn't want you to think that Dr. Menton is the only scientist, or even the only biologist, who believes in creation as taught in the Bible. Thousands of qualified scientists believe in creation, despite what some evolutionists say.Job 10:8"Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet Thou dost destroy me."Prayer: Dear Father, I give thanks to You for all of the Bible-believing scientists who are working today. Protect them and give them boldness to witness Your truth. I also ask that You would give more of our Bible-believing young people the desire and strength to go into science professions.

In Isaiah’s day, the people had started to treat the worship of God in a very casual way. But God does not want rote “worship,” rather, He wants our whole heart.

Bible Study - Bob Clark

Prayer is not a religious routine—it is a holy weapon. In this final message, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the modern Church’s weak and powerless prayers and calls believers back to the kind of intercession that moves hearts, strengthens faith, and releases God’s power. From James 5, Dr. Youssef shows that true prayer flows from a life of repentance, righteousness, and spiritual maturity. It is not empty words or emotional effort. It is faith-filled dependence on the living God. Using Biblical examples and stories of historic awakenings, this message calls believers to: Confess sin and walk in righteousness, Pray with persistence and holy urgency, Trust God’s sovereign will, Intercede for the lost, Live with obedience that proves faith is alive. The evidence of true faith is not talk—it is a life on its knees. Christ is coming. Are you praying?

Half of Americans struggle to fall asleep at night—and the culprit usually isn't caffeine or screens. It's worry. In this episode, Greg Laurie opens up the Bible's answer to anxious thoughts that keep you awake. You'll learn why prayer is your secret weapon, how to cast your cares the way Scripture actually means it, and what Romans 8:28 is really saying (and what it isn't).

Don't worry, worship."• Why God's timing isn't indifference—it's wisdom• The story of Joseph and how good can come despite genuinely bad things• What can actually block your prayers Greg also shares personal stories—praying years for his mother's salvation, losing his son Christopher, and trusting God when life doesn't tie up neatly.

Some seasons stack up so fast and so full that the only prayer you can manage is a whispered thank You for enough for today. In the same thirty days of May 2009, there was a newborn, a high school graduate, and a husband finishing his master's degree — and standing in a kitchen surrounded by food and relatives and celebration, that simple, barely-formed prayer was enough. Not a prayer for the week. Not a reflection on the month. Just enough for the day. Ecclesiastes 3 is one of Scripture's most beloved passages, but Solomon did not write it from a comfortable distance. He wrote it from the far side of a life that had demanded everything from him — cities built, kingdoms governed, people buried. When he declared that every activity under the heavens has its appointed time, he was writing from inside the weight of it. The Hebrew word translated "time" is eth, meaning an appointed time, something set and known in advance. Which means the season you are in right now was not a surprise to God. He saw the stacked calendar, the short nights, and what it cost you to show up anyway. He set this season in place knowing exactly what it would require. And that means He also set its end. The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full, and God is carrying you through every single day of them. Bible Verse "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."— Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, NIV Ponder Today The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full. God does not expect you to feel rested in a season He designed to require everything from you. Your current season was not a surprise to God. He saw it before you were living it. He set it in place, He knows what it is costing you, and He also set its limits. This season has an end that He already knows. Gratitude for today is enough when you cannot see the week. Sometimes the most faithful prayer is the smallest one. Thank You for enough for today is a prayer God honors fully. Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes from inside the weight of a demanding life, not from a distance. His wisdom about seasons is not theoretical comfort. It is hard-won truth from a man who had built, lost, buried, and endured. That makes it worth holding onto. God is not just watching you hold it all together — He is holding you. When you feel like you are barely keeping everything going, the deeper truth is that He is keeping you. Rest in that when the house finally gets quiet. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am coming to You today, worn out. The things filling my days are not bad things. Some of them are things I have prayed for, and You have graciously given. But I am tired, and the most words I can find right now are the ones whispered at a graduation party: thank You for enough for today. Help me trust that You saw this season before I was living it. You set it in place, and You set its limits. When I feel like I am barely keeping everything going, remind me that You are keeping me. When the house finally gets quiet and I sit down and feel it all at once, let that be the moment I rest in You instead of just collapsing. Thank You that the seasons change. Help me keep going with open hands until this one shifts. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer gave your weary heart permission to exhale, we'd love to stay connected.

Parents today are under a lot of pressure to be more “permissive” and less “authoritative” in raising their children. Research has now shown the results of this progressive thinking.In a study of 124 youngsters conducted over a twelve-year period, researchers studied parenting styles and the effect of each style on the development of young people. Researchers divided the parenting styles they saw into categories ranging from parents who didn't seem to care to those who were extremely demanding and restrictive while offering their children little emotional support. They found that parents who consistently set down clear standards of conduct and clearly-defined limits, while offering close emotional support, produce teenagers who fared better in academic tests, are emotionally more stable, and are much less likely to be involved with alcohol or drugs than any other group. The so-called “democratic” parenting style, they noted, produced far more heavy drug users than parents who set limits. They also noted that restrictive parents who offer little emotional support for their children tend to produce teens, who, while not heavily involved with drugs, are less happy with life and fall below average on academic tests.Researchers concluded that the limit-setting, rule-enforcing parents, who offer strong emotional support to their children are the most successful parents. And this is exactly the style of parenting Scripture teaches us.Ephesians 6:1"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."Prayer: Dear Father, I ask that You would provide good support and instructions through fellow believers for Christian parents so that fathers would seek to be toward their children as You are toward us. In Jesus' Name. Amen.Ref: B.

It is amazing to think that when a sinner repents, heaven rejoices. Oh, how that should cause us to rejoice here on earth as well!

Waiting is never easy—especially when suffering lingers. In this urgent message from James 5, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to endure patiently, trusting that Jesus Christ is coming again and that His timing is perfect. Scripture is clear: trials do not destroy true faith—they refine it. Like the farmer waiting for harvest, the prophets speaking God’s Word under pressure, and Job enduring deep suffering, God’s people must stand firm without grumbling, self-pity, or compromise. This episode calls you to: Persevere when pain does not end quickly, Repent of grumbling and self-pity, Trust God’s sovereign timing, Keep obeying while you wait, Intercede faithfully and live with holy urgency. God is at work behind the scenes. The harvest is coming. And Christ will reward steadfast faith.

When our car is out of alignment, we can end up in the ditch. And when things are misaligned in our spiritual life, we drift and eventually wind up in the ditch of a graceless, unforgiving mode of existence. But when we align with God, we have confidence, courage and conviction. Find out about forces that pull us out of alignment in Galatians chapter 2 and how to align or re-align with God.

This is Ken Ham, on a mission to call the church back to God’s Word and the gospel. Many people believe that AI is the next step in human evolution. They believe if we integrate with machines we can escape our biology—and maybe even death itself. This kind of thinking flows from an evolutionary worldview. If we’ve evolved from lower life forms through naturalistic processes, maybe we can give nature a hand and control our future evolution. But we didn’t evolve, and we aren’t getting better! We were created perfect, but because of our sin we now suffer and die. True hope of escaping death is only possible because Jesus died in our place and offers the gift of eternal life to all who will believe.

Today's Bible Verse:"Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, to send out workers into his harvest field.’" — Matthew 9:37–38  Matthew 9:37–38 captures Jesus’ heart for people and His call for believers to take part in God’s work. As Jesus looked at the crowds, He saw people who were hurting, searching, and in need of guidance. Rather than seeing a problem too large to solve, He saw a harvest ready to be gathered. This passage reminds us that sharing God’s love and truth is not only the responsibility of pastors, missionaries, or ministry leaders. Jesus calls all of His followers to participate in the work of reaching others. The harvest is plentiful, and each believer has a role to play through acts of compassion, encouragement, service, and sharing the hope of Christ.

When the Holy Spirit controls your life, authentic consistency takes over. Discover how to break the cycle of prayerlessness with Dr. David Jeremiah. Get your free copy of Turning Point's Devotional Magazine to deepen your daily walk with God: https://www.davidjeremiah.org/magazine/signup Are you struggling to maintain a consistent spiritual life? In this powerful message from his transformative series, The Holy Spirit You May Not Know, Dr. David Jeremiah exposes how quickly the discipline of prayer can slip away and outlines the exact strategy the enemy uses to keep you trapped in guilt. Unpacking the Apostle Paul's profound instructions to the church at Colasse, Dr. Jeremiah reveals the three critical areas where Holy Spirit control produces undeniable life transformation. You will learn how the Holy Spirit directly empowers your private worship through diligent prayer, your public walk before a watchful world, and your verbal witness to those outside the faith. Watch closely at 09:43 as Dr. Jeremiah reveals the two tactical lies the devil uses to paralyze your prayer life, discover the secret to redeeming your time at 22:16, and learn what it truly means to live your life as the only copy of Jesus Christ your coworkers may ever see at 23:33. Q: How can a Christian overcome a long season of prayerlessness and guilt A: According to Dr. David Jeremiah, the enemy uses prolonged prayerlessness to induce guilt, convincing believers they cannot restart. To overcome this, simply begin praying again immediately, because God eagerly honors and accepts your return without a trial period. Q: What does the Bible mean by praying without ceasing in Colossians A: Scriptural persistence in prayer does not mean walking in a continuous trance. The Apostle Paul commands believers to maintain an active, spiritually alert lifestyle marked by intentional, diligent prayer, constant vigilance against spiritual danger, and regular expressions of deep gratitude. Q: Why is a Christian's behavior toward unbelievers so critical spiritually A: Believers function as a visible reflection of the living God to an observing world. Walking in wisdom toward those outside the faith creates a stark, attractive moral contrast, opening natural doors for clear, grace-seasoned sharing of the gospel. 1. Colossians 4:2 - Persist earnestly in alert, thankful prayer as a daily command. 2. Ephesians 5:15 - Walk circumspectly and wisely to reflect true spiritual alignment. 3. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Maintain an unceasing, unbroken connection with God daily. 00:00 The Divine Standard for Daily Spiritual Consistency 01:14 Seizing the Critical Financial Deadlines of Ministry 01:53 The Seinfeld Strategy and the Power of Unbroken Habits 03:30 Unlocking Paul's Blueprint for Spirit-Led Living in Colossians 04:58 The Biblical Command to Continue Earnestly in Prayer 06:09 Demystifying What it Means to Pray Without Ceasing 07:42 Overcoming the Deep Guilt Surrounding Personal Prayerlessness 09:20 Exposing the Devil's Strategic Attacks Against Your Prayer Life 10:56 The Essential Priority of Entering His Gates with Thanksgiving 13:01 Praying for Open Doors of Evangelistic Opportunity in Prison 15:38 Discovering God's Hidden Protection in Closed Strategic Doors 16:52 The Vital Importance of Praying for Spiritual Clarity in Teaching 17:58 How to Walk in Wisdom and Make Spiritual Contact with the World 20:09 Navigating the Realities of Living in a Secular Spiritual Fishbowl 22:16 Redeeming the Time and Buying Up Every God-Given Opportunity 23:33 Reflecting the Only Copy of Jesus Christ Unbelievers Will Ever See Stay Connected Subscribe to Dr. David Jeremiah’s official channel for more Biblical teaching: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqQ9naMCqK_wUEWoxXvh7Dw Free Resource Get your free copy of the Turning Point's Devotional Magazine: https://www.davidjeremiah.org/magazine/signup Follow #DavidJeremiah on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drdavidjeremiah Instagram: https://w

Read: Psalm 37:3-7 Something was rubbing against the chain when Lyle tried to ride his bike, and with his mom’s medical bills piling up, there was no way his family could afford a new one. “Dad said he would fix that.” His sister’s voice came from behind him as he started to work on the bike himself. “He’s looking over the budget again,” Lyle said. “He never has time.” Lyle tugged on the wheel with all his might, and his mouth dropped open when he broke it right off the bike. “Oops.” “Lyle!” his sister exclaimed. “Now it can’t even be fixed.” Lyle put a hand over his face. “I should have waited for Dad.” That evening Lyle’s dad peeked into his room. “I just saw your bike. What happened?” Lyle sighed. “I was trying to fix it.” “I told you I would take a look at it.” “I know, but you were so busy,” Lyle said. “You have Mom to take care of, and you’ve been trying to figure out how you’re going to pay the bills…” Dad stepped into the room. “I have been busy. Life has been hard for all of us. I’m sorry.” “I was trying to fix it by myself and I ended up making things worse,” Lyle said. “I don’t know if you’ll be able to fix it anymore.” “I’ll look at it.” Dad walked across the room. “You know, bud, you’ve got me thinking about something your mom has been telling me. She said that her sickness and our finances are out of my control. She sees me trying to fix things and tells me I need to stop, that I need to put it all in God’s hands.” “Because He’s our heavenly Father and knows best?” Lyle asked. “Right.” Dad smiled. “He’s our Father because He loves us so much that He gave His Son to die for us. He sent Jesus to save us from sin because we could never do it ourselves.” Dad sat down on the bed. “I mess up when I try to handle things on my own. I need to trust Him.” Lyle nodded. “I hope I didn’t mess up the bike forever.” “Why don’t we go take a look at it together?” said Dad. “And maybe we could ask God to show us what to do too.” –Emily Acker How about you? What do you do when you have a problem and don’t know what you should do? Do you ask God for help and wait for Him to take care of things? Or do you try to handle everything on your own? God loves you and cares about everything you’re going through, and He wants you to come to Him for help. Instead of trying to fix things yourself, ask Him for help and trust Him to know what to do. Today’s key verse: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 (NIV) Today’s key thought: Trust God and wait for Him

A common and quietly damaging misconception in the Christian life is that holiness means being voiceless, that servanthood means accepting mistreatment, and that Jesus modeled silence in every situation. He did not. Yes, there were moments Jesus chose not to defend Himself. But He also corrected the Pharisees, stood up for Himself when criticized, and questioned those who treated Him wrongfully. The cross was not the story of a doormat — it was the story of the Son of God who laid down His life of His own accord, by His own authority, according to His Father's will. John 10:18 makes that unmistakably clear. There is a straight line from Jesus' example to our own: we are not bad Christians for having a voice. We are not unloving for saying "you hurt me," or "I will speak with you again when you can be respectful," or simply "no." God entrusted us with decision-making. Wisdom, dignity, and worth are not the enemies of humility. They are part of bearing the image of the One who was powerful, purposeful, and deeply worthy. Today's Bible Verse "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."— John 10:18, NIV Ponder Today Jesus was not a doormat — and His example does not call us to be one either. He corrected, questioned, and spoke up when it was right to do so. Holiness is not the same as silence, and servanthood is not the same as accepting abuse. The cross was an act of sovereign power, not passive suffering. Jesus laid down His life of His own accord, by His own authority. That is not weakness — it is the most powerful act in human history, chosen freely out of love. Ask God for discernment about when to speak and when to be still. Jesus operated according to the Father's will, not the pressure of those around Him. That same Spirit is available to guide us in knowing when to speak a brave word and when to remain quiet. A Prayer for You Today Father, I want to thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ — the perfect example He is to me, and for the cross, which is not an endorsement of abuse but a picture of One freely laying down His life for us. It is the ultimate gateway to salvation, and we thank You for it. Teach us when to speak up and when to stay silent. Show us when to act and when to be still. Give us discernment in our knowing and going. In Jesus' name, Amen.
