Life doesn't go as planned. Tragedy strikes. Crisis happens. And once again, we come to realize that this world isn't what it was designed to be. That's exactly the road Jim and Carol Garlow are on. You may know that Carol's cancer has returned with fury. The result has been trips to Houston, medical trials and an enormous change to the Garlow family as they battle this on-going enemy. In the midst of this, they remain faithful to God's calling on their life and confident in His sovereignty alone. It's truly been an inspiration ...

A special message from Nancy Leigh DeMoss . . .

As Father's Day approaches, I've been thinking about the insights and principles my dad passed onto me.  He died when I was only 21, but the wisdom he gave to me has stayed with me ever since.  I am reaping incredible blessings today because of things my dad taught me in those earliest years of life.  Things like . . .

1. Start your day with God.
2. Trust and obey.
3. Guard your heart.
4. Don't spend your life, invest it.

My dad died at the age of 53 of a heart attack.  I believe he ...

It's no secret that, when it comes to radio planting, HCJB Global definitely has a green thumb!  They've helped radio stations around the world bloom into powerful life-giving sources for Gospel-hungry communities.

So how do they decide where to plant?  What is the "Farmer's Almanac" equivalent for consulting where and when to plant a new radio station?

Take a look at what the "radio planting experts" at HCJB Global-Asia Pacific do when they survey a country for a new radio plant . . . this time in Nepal:

"Temptation isn't sin; it's when we swallow it and act on it that it becomes sin. And it can destroy our lives."  Dennis Rainey

In his new book, Stepping Up:  A Call to Courageous Manhood, Dennis writes "Manhood requires us to resolutely 'flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.'  (2 Timothy 2:22).  We have to put the lure of adolescent behavior behind us, face upward, and step up to our responsibilities as men."  

This month on "FamilyLife Today," Dennis, along with his ...

Now that "American Idol" has closed its season, many will turn their full attention to the newly-created reality TV show called "The Voice."  Have you seen it?  One of the unique elements that separates this show from others is what happens during contestant auditions.  Each hopeful singer performs while facing the backs of judges who must judge solely based on what they hear.  Those judges are straining to hear "The Voice" that will stir them enough to cast their vote.

You would likely agree with me that, although there are many great voices (including those that sing beautifully!), there is ...

"I have found David...a man after My own heart, who will do all my will." - Acts 13:22

"Dear Abby, I suffer from headaches, stomachaches, my eyes hurt..."  Despite what we tell ourselves, most chronic problems have one common symptom - fear.  But no matter what's happening in your life, when you walk by God's Spirit you are blessed with peace.

Scripture teaches that peace has nothing to do with circumstances.  True peace is knowing God is always with you.  Psalm 139:7-10 says, "Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your ...
