During his ministry, which included extended pastorates in Chicago and Toronto, Dr. Tozer was often referred to as a prophet. That doesn't mean he predicted future events, but rather he spoke God's truth to believers and the culture, even if it meant disrupting the status quo. Even in the Bible, prophets were much more likely to hold God's people and their leaders accountable to the truth of God's Word than to foretell the future. The encouragement...

How can we put his eternal attributes into words? Join Chip Ingram in this...

Nearly one-third of our world identifies as Christian, yet it feels like confusion, hopelessness, and injustice are the prevailing narratives of our day. This begs the question, Are we missing something?
Surprisingly, the Bible only uses the word Christian a grand total of three times to describe followers of Jesus. But there's another identifier that fills the pages of the New Testament--a word we've mistakenly reserved for the halo-wearing elite,...

For many people, worry, anxiety, and fear are constant companions: fear of death, fear of danger, fear of disease.

As Christians, we have been given all we need in order to face down even the most frightening, unexpected, and overwhelming obstacles in life. In his new book, What Are You Afraid Of?...

If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known-a place for us to offer ourselves and receive...

In perhaps the most pointed moment of his last hours with his followers, Jesus says, "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love" (John 15:9). His discovery: the prevalence of shame-based, try-harder Christianity-know more, do more, be more-has left many believers exhausted and discouraged, passionately longing to experience and live in Jesus' love. Their question: how?

"If we want revival in our communities, then let us learn from those being revived."
For many Western Christians, the experience of suffering and persecution is remote. For Chinese Christians, on the other hand, persecution is a regular aspect of the Christian life. If a Christian from the West was transported to a Chinese house church, the topic of suffering would be ever-present in preaching and conversation. With decades of persecution under the...
