Let’s Stop Fretting

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on February 5, 2021 by Steve DurkacFebruary 5, 2021

Recently I was doing some studying on a topic that led me to Psalm 37:1 which says, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.” When we read Psalm 37:2 we see the reason why it admonishes us to “fret not” and it is because “they shall soon be cut down like the … Continue reading →

Keeping Us From Evil

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on November 14, 2020 by Steve DurkacNovember 14, 2020

I’ve been thinking about Psalm 121:7-8, which says, “The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” This has been comforting to me because frankly my mind is conjuring up all kinds of evil that could be … Continue reading →

Making Sense of Evil

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on October 2, 2017 by Steve DurkacOctober 2, 2017

Evil is becoming common place in our society and it challenges us to wonder why. When we open the Bible we can find help in making sense of evil. In Isaiah 14:11-15 and Ezekiel 28:11-15, we understand that evil was birthed in the free-will heart of a created angel named Lucifer who is now known as Satan, and who has … Continue reading →

Jealous Protesters

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 21, 2017 by Steve DurkacJanuary 21, 2017

At CrossHope Chapel we have just started a series through the epistles of Thessalonians, and last week we looked in Acts by way of introduction. In Acts 17:5-6 we read were “the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking … Continue reading →

As a church family we prayed and talked about this heartbreaking attack last Sunday at CrossHope Chapel, but I want to share with you two things that came … Continue reading →

Why Evil?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on August 19, 2015 by Steve DurkacAugust 19, 2015

Evil is the result of sin in our world, but we sometimes wonder why God doesn’t stop it all now. 2 Peter 3:8-10 shares this “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise … Continue reading →
