Going...Not Knowing, Part Two
Going...yet not knowing. Obeying...yet not understanding. Beginning a journey that is unpredictable, risky, untried, and appearing virtually insane—yet prompted by none other than the Lord Himself.

Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
Going...Not Knowing, Part One
Going...yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction...or in pursuit of a precise goal. That leading is unmistakably clear. Not necessarily logical or explainable, but clear.
A Message for Misfits
Remember now, God is the One who builds trophies from the scrap pile...who draws His clay from under the bridge...who makes clean instruments of beauty from the filthy failures of yesteryear.

I await heaven’s gate opening in the not-too-distant future. So do other Christians, who anxiously await Christ’s return. Most of them anticipate hearing the soft strum of a harp or the sharp, staccato blast of a trumpet.
Discoveries
There are few joys like the joy of sudden discovery. Instantly forgotten is the pain and expense of the search, the inconveniences, the hours, the sacrifices. Bathed in the ecstasy of discovery, time stands still.
Self-Control
Don’t fail to draw on the Lord’s power as you work on self-control, knowing His strength is yours. Understand and believe Romans 8:9–14.

Being What Ya’ Are, Part One
In my more zany moments, I have been known to do some crazy things. I’m relieved that most of them are not known by most of you. If they were, I sincerely doubt that what little bit of dignified respect I may have earned over the years would remain intact.
Relevance
I find it refreshing that Jesus Christ met people where they were. His words touched nerves. There was a lot more here-and-now than then-and-there in his talks. His attack on the hypocrisy and prejudice of religious phonies came through loud and clear.
A Bridge Called Credibility, Part Two
Granted, no one’s perfect. But if you fail, do you own up to it? Do you quickly admit your failure to the person you promised and refuse to rationalize around it? If you do you are really rare...but a person of genuine integrity.
