Strength for the Day - 10/15/2026

"What in your life consumes you more than anything else, what makes your life feel hopeless and makes you question whether you can go on? Nothing is more consuming than sin, and sin piled on sin is a death spiral with no escape. Past sin has been so destructive that you think the results cannot possibly be remedied."

Strength for the Day 10/08/2026

"Growing up in Colorado Springs, I had the glorious privilege of waking every morning to the majestic view of 14,000-foot Pikes Peak, surrounded by pine-covered foothills, a view of which I never tired. I know some of what King David meant as he exclaimed, "I lift my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help." He likely had in mind those hills upon which Jerusalem was built. Here was his help situated in his worship of God and even possibly his birthplace, Bethlehem, nearby among the hills surrounding Jerusalem, which would also, long after, be the birthplace of his seed, his Master and Lord."

One writer described Paul Anderson: "He is the strongest man in the world, and he also lifts weights." Paul had a lifelong motto that declared clearly where his strength lay: "If I, the strongest man in the world, cannot get through a day without Jesus Christ, how can you?"

Strength for the Day 09/24/2026

"The world can easily be labeled an unstable environment – politically, emotionally, psychologically…you name it. The only certain thing about tomorrow's news is instability! Something will happen to upset the apple cart somewhere in the world – in fact, in a lot of somewheres. Very few things in our world are stable when you factor in the human element."
