You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
There’s a spiritual war raging behind the scenes of what we see in the world. Revelation 12 reminds us that Satan isn’t just attacking nations, he’s targeting God’s redemptive plan and those who belong to Christ. But the victory is already won through the blood of the Lamb. Today, live like a conqueror in Christ: speak truth, stand firm, and don’t back down in the face of pressure. “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought…” (Revelation 12:7).
You can have anxiety or you can have peace, but you can't have both. One pushes God out, while the other welcomes God in. And when you allow God in, He guards you from the inside out--now that's peace! “Be anxious for nothing, but in...
When God forgives, God restores. He doesn't just separate us from our sin, but He also completes our lives in His Son. You see, the believer not only receives forgiveness, but they also receive God's righteousness. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and...
We often pray for deliverance from trials, but we really need to pray for endurance while we go through them. You see, it's usually within the greatest pressures of life that we are afforded the opportunity to experience the greatest presence of God. "Blessed is...
It is true that trials, difficulties, and specifically brokenness are a means by which faith is exercised and increased. Such adversity is a way to know God more deeply. So when trials come and our innermost soul is tested, we shall say: “I will wait and see what good God will...
It’s easy to think you are true when the standard is you. Yet the truth is this, that all men are but false when the standard is the cross. You see, "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God," and it is at the cross of Jesus Christ where the playing field is leveled and man is either...
The conversion and continuum of our faith in Jesus Christ is that we are delivered out of the house of bondage to one day dwell in the house of the Lord. And thus, while we are in-between one house and the next, let us be content as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever” (Psalm 23:6).
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
In two days I will be married. Or as our Instagram hashtag creatively expresses it, #letsgetMAHERied. There has been so much planning in such a short period of time (six weeks). From the day we set the date of November 8th, the favor from God has been overwhelming. (And thankfully we have our parents, siblings and other extended family members who have worked tirelessly for this day; ALL FORMS of FAVOR). One of the initial obstacles was finding a church large enough to hold our guest list. Thankfully a long time friend and Pastor......
Man, heck with “likes,” I’m trying to save lives! And NO, I'm not the Messiah. I'm just a wick that Jesus has set on fire! No disrespect to anyone who has ever “liked” my pics or points, but when do we make what we “like” online the very manifestation of what we are like outside: Outside the screen, whether it be our cell phone or our computer at home. I’m tired of being reduced to a “like” on my Facebook wall. If you don’t believe it.....
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
