One of the most iconic movie characters of my lifetime is the great archaeology professor and treasure hunter Indiana Jones. Through his epic movie trilogy (I like to pretend that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull never happened) Dr. Jones, played wonderfully by Harrison Ford, became perhaps the greatest action hero of the 1980s. Through his many adventures Indiana Jones used h...

Anxiety is rife today and many Christians are not free from it. The condition can manifest itself in a range of ways, from a vague sense of things being not right all the way up to a full-blown panic attack. Anxiety largely has to do with fear.

I suspect that the beginning of our new series on "Fighting for Rest" this past Sunday convicted a lot of hearts, based on the number of hands raised (including my own) for prayer at the end of the message. As in all messages some points make more of an impact on individual listeners than others. What especially spoke to me was the proposition that we must take our anxiet...
