[This article is the Foreword by Kris Vallotton for James W. Goll’s book, Tell Your Heart to Sing Again.] Historically, the church has not always excelled at walking with people through their pain. We know how to rejoice with those who rejoice, yet we often fall short of Christ’s standard when it comes to mourning with those who mourn. Our Savior wept with his bereaved friends at the tomb of Lazarus, yet many Christians today are more likely to respond to tragedy with poorly reasoned explanations, weak attempts to cheer, or dark hints that the mourners should have had more [...]

Answering Your Call to Courage and Honor

Today, across the globe and right in our own back yards, there are enemies on the rampage tearing apart society at every corner. It's time to rise up in courage and honor, and face down the intimidation. Scripture gives us a strong admonition found in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Instead of the word “fear”, it could be better translated, “cowardice”.

For example, take the Samaritan woman at the well, whose name is lost to history (see John 4:7–29). Jesus singled her out and she is considered by many to be the first true evangelist in the Bible. When she told the townspeople the Good News about the Christ, many of them believed. Consider Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist and cousin of Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus. Both of these devout women [...]

James Goll: Why Courage Is Worth Its Cost

By |2021-04-12T13:07:05-05:00April 12th, 2021|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Courage doesn't take a large bank account, big muscles or impressive beauty. It simply requires making yourself available and being willing to obey. And it is always worth it. Some of you may think that you are the most unlikely candidate for God to use to accomplish anything significant. Most of us think of ourselves in that way. The world teaches us that it is the rich, the powerful or the beautiful who are important and make a difference in the world. That's not what God teaches. He doesn't think or work the way the world does. The prophet [...]
