Christian, whatever anyone else does, says, or thinks about you . . . our gracious Lord has loved you with an everlasting, redemptive love that can never fail. Sometimes, that’s all you have. But always . . . it’s more than enough. “For I am sure that

You really don’t have to scourge yourself in an effort to do “big things” for Christ. That mindset is simply a trap for your pride, my friends. Two simple things can help shift that wrong disposition (which sadly many people encourage). One, remember that

In all of life, but especially as you get older as a Christian, it seems to me that the main thing is to do for the Lord what only you can do. Let other things go. And: do not presume that you will have the health, resources, or opportunity to do it later

One of the more important messages I preached was on January 26, 2020, and titled "The Warrant of Faith." Through no one's fault, it was overlooked--perhaps in part to the arrival of Covid soon thereafter. Here's the critical question that message answers

It’s been a week filled with meetings, personal interactions, and yard work for me. One sets his priorities, but the Lord directs our steps (Proverbs 16:9). In the midst of all that, I did something for my own sake that I decided to share with you. I

Before Trust the Word Press ends its October special offer on my books, I wanted to highlight one final work that you may have overlooked. It’s my book on end times titled When Christ Shall Come. It is a deliberately unusual mix of a simple overview of

Posting this photo memory primarily for my California friends, especially those from Grace to You. The scene is a GTY staff meeting on April 25, 2012. Those with sharp eyes can find John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, yours truly, and other notables too

If any of my FB friends in the United States have relationships or ministry with Arabic-speaking people, please send me a private message with your mailing address. I would like to send you a complimentary copy of my evangelistic book, An Easy Guide to

According to a post on X today, Turning Point USA has released its upcoming tour schedule. Am I allowed as a Christian pastor to point out the tour features, according to a Google search: A practicing Catholic (Michael Knowles); A practicing Mormon

About a month ago, I asked for input about my next writing project. People have asked for an update. So far, I have spent the most time on the book for discouraged parents. But as I have gotten further into it, I am finding it more difficult than I

I have some time this afternoon to encourage you again to trust the providence of God, through yet another true story about my stubborn heart and the overruling power of God. It was the spring of 1985. I was a law student at Indiana University. I had been

(This is long. Humor me and read it, please. It might even help and encourage you.) This post will read like it’s all about me. But it’s really for your encouragement and up building in Christ. Matthew Henry said, “We must follow providence and not force

I attended the memorial service for John MacArthur today. It was beautifully done and I can only congratulate the family for putting together something that honored Christ and John in such a magnificent way. For those of us with long ties to Grace

I am fairly reserved about recommending books, but today I break the mold to commend a critical book by a most trusted friend and teacher. Andrew Snelling is known around the world and at college campuses for his defense of Scripture. He has a PhD in

We are not able to trace the hand of providence as it pens the story before our eyes. Only by faith and perseverance will we understand when we read it in retrospect. My Christian friend, resist the common urge to judge the Lord’s dealings by what you

I have no one particularly in mind here. I am only standing for an important principle. Beware of self-appointed teachers and discernment experts on social media, no matter how large their following may be, especially those who have no accountability to a

Time has not permitted me to follow the many videos that worthy men have posted in light of the passing of John MacArthur. My sense is that the initial wave is finished, pending further edifying things that will be said at and around the memorial on

I don’t mean to shock or offend anyone here. But the primary concern of the church is not to conduct its ministry in a manner that attracts youth, people of color, women, or LGBTQ individuals. The first priority is to preach the Word, as in the presence

Christian, here’s a simple act of repentant devotion you can do this weekend. Call to mind a book, tool, cash, or something else that you borrowed from someone and still have in your possession longer than you promised. (Maybe it was actually an outright

My dear Christian friend, we need to have a little visit here this morning. The brevity is disproportionate to the importance of the subject matter. I’ve lived long enough, and been in ministry long enough, to say these things from personal experience and

Going deeeep into my sermon transcript archive to share this with you. I trust it's a timely encouragement: "God owns the bank of grace and compassion and mercy. And when you came to Christ, God opened the vault and said, "Here's the full riches of my
