When Judah faced a life or death crisis, Jeremiah asked God for direction. God did not answer for 10 days.

Think about that. In a literal crisis, God made the prophet wait.

If God does not answer your prayer in the first few minutes, days, or weeks, do not panic. We operate on His timeline, not ours.

Be patient. Keep your ears open and trust His schedule.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

We become so desensitized to the everyday miracles around us that we ignore the radical ones.

People are walking away from prayer events completely healed of paralysis and brain tumors.

Following Jesus is not about the words you say. It is about the life you live.

Jesus made it clear in Luke 14. If you do not carry your cross and give up everything, you cannot be His disciple.

True faith requires massive sacrifice. You must crucify your flesh daily. Yes, it is a heavy burden. But that is the cost of living for Jesus, and the eternal reward is worth it.

You cannot fight a war that you don't realize you're actually in.

We tend to view modern chaos as a human conflict, but Ephesians 6 tells us there are spiritual dimensions at play.

Being pro-life doesn't mean you oppose the death penalty.

The Bible draws a strict line between the taking of innocent life and the just removal of true evil by the government to protect society.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Jesus left the ninety-nine to go after the one lost sheep. That must be our mindset today.

No one is ever too broken or too far gone to return to Jesus. Your goal as a believer is to help lead people back home.

Do not judge the lost. Remember, you used to be that lost sheep too.

Use your own story to help grow the Kingdom of God.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Whether you believe demons are fallen angels or spirits of the Nephilim, their goal is the same: chaos, destruction, and confusion.

The biblical standard for sexuality applies to everyone.

The call is exactly the same: repent, pick up your cross, and pursue holiness.

The gospel doesn't affirm our sin, it crucifies it.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Where you start depends on how you process things.

If you are someone who needs the complete timeline and the historical facts to understand the gravity of it all, start in the Old Testament. Jesus is just as present there as He is in the New Testament.

But if you are desperate, hurting, and just need the immediate truth of what Jesus taught and accomplished for you on the cross, start in the Gospels.

God can use any piece of this God-breathed scripture to save a life. Eventually, the entire Bible needs to be read, but the most important step is simply opening it.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Jeremiah preached the truth his entire life, and almost nobody listened. He was ignored, kidnapped, and eventually killed in Egypt.

By worldly standards, his ministry looked like a failure. But Jeremiah was not a failure. He lived for an Audience of One.

He did exactly what God asked him to do, and God approved of his work. Obedience is always better than popularity.

If winning a political argument becomes a barrier to someone seeing Jesus, you are fighting the wrong battle.

They say Christianity is a "white man's religion." History proves them completely wrong.

Lance Ralston exposes the lost history of the Eastern church, why "Progressive Christianity" is a lie, and the evidence of Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia.

You must forgive the people who have sinned against you. It does not matter what they did or how much it hurts.

Jesus was completely sinless, yet He willingly forgave your massive debt on the cross. He commands us to do the exact same thing for others.

Unforgiveness only poisons your own heart. It will be incredibly difficult, but forgiveness is the way of Jesus.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Ghosts are not human spirits haunting us.

The truth is darker: demons masquerade as dead loved ones. We have to be careful about the spiritual doors we choose to open.

When one of the most powerful men in the world acknowledges a Creator, we should be paying attention.

The door is clearly open for Elon Musk, and as believers, our response should be relentless prayer for his salvation.

Think about the impact he could have for the Kingdom.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Just because God delays His answer does not mean He is ignoring your prayer.

Jesus taught a parable specifically to show us that we should always pray and never give up.

If your desires align with God's will, keep asking. Be persistent. Approach God day and night with your requests. Do not stop praying just because the answer takes time. He hears every word.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Just because culture embraces legalization doesn't mean it is spiritually safe.

The goal of weed is to get high, which contradicts the command to be sober-minded.

We place far too much value on political garbage while there are over 111,000 active child predators in the US alone.

This is the war that actually matters.

It is time for our society to wake up.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

It does not matter what you have done. You are never too far gone for the grace of God.

Heaven literally throws a celebration the moment you decide to repent. The blood of Jesus covers every mistake and every failure in your past.

You might feel dead in your sin right now, but Jesus specializes in bringing dead things back to life. It is time to come home.

[Zach Schumaker @ZachSchumaker]

Shane Pruitt explains why we don't need a false version of Jesus molded by our own opinions; we need the real King of Kings found in the scriptures.
