I WOULD like to make this letter to you a short and joyous sermon. My text contains only two words, but I believe them to be the sweetest two words that human ear ever heard. They are: “Thou shalt.” It is the old way of saying you must. I presume you do not at all like “must,” but I want to tell you that everything depends upon how, or where, the “must” is used. Some words are sweet or bitter, according to how they are employed. The word “must” is generally used in trying to compel one to do something that he dislikes; but sometimes it is employed to encourage a person to ...

They met Jesus—and their lives were never the same. Will yours be? The Gospels are full of unforgettable moments when ordinary people came face to face with the living Christ.

But if you are tired of the uncertainty and chaos that is our new norm, then may I suggest the book of Isaiah has something to say to us today. Won’t you join me to see what that is?

Wiersbe will show you that by focusing on the reality of the unseen first, an overwhelming desire for intimate friendship with God will follow.
