The people of Israel are God’s chosen people—loved with an everlasting love that has never faded, weakened, or been replaced. Scripture is unwavering on this truth. God chose Israel not because of their strength or size, but because of His covenantal love and faithfulness. And what God begins, He finishes. He continues, even now, to[…]
When was the last time you had a good belly laugh—the kind that comes from so deep within that you can’t catch your breath, your eyes start watering, and your face hurts from smiling so much? You know that kind of laugh—the one that bubbles up uncontrollably until you’re laughing simply because laughing feels that[…]
Question: I try very hard to do the things God asks of His followers, like spending time with Him every day in prayer, reading the Bible, and going to church. But somehow I don’t feel the closeness with God that other Christians talk about. What could be preventing that? Answer:First, let me say this: your[…]
I want to share something with you today that comes from over 30 years of working closely with people in my community. Through all those years, one truth has stood out more than anything else—it’s not our circumstances that define us; it’s our mentality. The difference between a victor and a victim is not what[…]
Baptism is a beautiful and powerful moment in the life of a believer. Jesus Himself wove it into the Great Commission, instructing us to “make disciples… baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). It is a public declaration that we have died to the old[…]
There’s one thing I know for sure—we all must live in the reality of the unexpected. None of us can predict what tomorrow will bring, what challenges might arise, or what blessings may unfold before the day ends. Life is beautifully unpredictable, yet sometimes painfully so. Maybe you know someone who went to the doctor[…]
Question: Dr. Tony, I trust God with all my heart, so I don’t understand why I’m finding it nearly impossible to surrender one particular fear. I’ve prayed and prayed, but my heart just can’t let go of this anxiety. Answer:You’ve already taken a powerful first step, recognizing the anxiety instead of pretending it isn’t there.[…]
Who are you? Let me ask that again—who or what have you allowed to determine your identity? The truth is, every one of us carries an identity. Some wear the labels of success, ministry, or status. Others are marked by what they’ve endured—trauma, failure, or loss. But none of those things define who you are.[…]

Question: What are the best ways to minister to a friend who has hardened his heart and given up on being a follower of Christ? Answer:When someone you love walks away from Jesus, it can feel heartbreaking and confusing. The first loving step is to pause and ask: What wounded their heart? Has your friend[…]
The Bible says in Acts 20:24, “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Did you catch that? Paul didn’t say[…]
Few books in history have shaped Christianity, language, and worship as profoundly as the King James Version of the Bible, first published in 1611.
