The Bug Disease

Today’s message was written by Rev. Dr. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. I want to begin this meditation with a passage from the New Testament, 1 Peter 1:22: “Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the […]

Love that Will Not Let Us Go

Today’s message was written by my friend Roger Kunkel. I love the month of November. It is the month of Thanksgiving. It is a month filled with unlimited possibilities. When is the last time your possibilities gave you goose pimples? Today I want you to focus on this verse from 1 Corinthians 13:8, “Love never […]

What I Gave I Have

Today’s message was written by Rev. Dr. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. Listen to this profound epitaph found on an English gravestone: “What I kept, I lost. What I spent, I had. What I gave, I have.”  Friend of Dial Hope, as you well know, the art of keeping isn’t all bad. There will […]

Letter of Thanks

Today’s message was written by Rev. Dr. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. Today I want to suggest an exciting idea – I want you to try giving yourself away.  I once knew a man who suffered a nervous breakdown, during which he sat for months in gloom and mental darkness. One day I suggested […]

A Key Called Promise

Today’s message was written by my friend, Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. In the classical book, Pilgrim’s Progress, an allegory by John Bunyan, the author tells the story of Christian and Hopeful in their encounter with Giant Despair. The two pilgrims had trespassed on the giant’s property and were thrown into Doubting Castle. […]

Where is God?

Today’s message was written by Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. You know, when trouble comes into our lives or when tragedy strikes, we ask, “Where is God?” And the answer is – God is in the same place he was when his son was on the cross. God does not abandon us; God […]

Crown of God’s Creation

Today’s message was written by Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. One of the greatest truths of the Bible is … We – you and I – are made in the image of God. Talk about a miracle! God made cats and dogs, hummingbirds, red cardinals, squirrels, elephants, giraffes, pelicans, dolphins, and the duck-billed […]

U-Turns

Today’s message was written by my friend, Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. On turnpikes, interstates, and on some city streets the sign, “No U-Turn” is frequently seen. Of course, it is a good thing to forbid “U-Turns” for they would badly slow up traffic and cause accidents. But in life, a “U-turn” is […]

Heart of Gratitude

Today’s message was written by Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. It is no secret that I have a passion for encouraging people to base their life on gratitude. Paul put it like this, “Give thanks in all circumstances.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18a). Let me point out that Paul didn’t say to give thanks ‘for” all […]

Arm in Arm (He Cares for You)

Today’s message was written by Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope. Friend of Dial Hope, do you sometimes feel like your problems are so overwhelming that you can barely keep your head above water? In the Bible, God tells you to cast “all your care upon him,” knowing he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)  […]
