You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The devil’s accusations stop where the blood of Jesus starts; and hell’s fury can’t outrun Heaven’s victory. Stay covered by the blood, anchored in the Word, and fearless in your testimony. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Revelation 12:11).
The only right response to God‘s mercy is to give Him glory. And not just by lip-service, but even more so with our life's service. You see, Jesus died to keep us from the death we deserved (mercy) and He rose to give us the life we didn't deserve (grace). Again I say, the only...
Since God’s Word is our authority, we should speak it without apology. We should speak God’s Word with clarity and conviction and leave the consequences to Him. We should be as bold as lions against cowards who propagate lying. We should espouse...
The fruitful life needs rain just as much as it needs the sun. You see, though the rain comes with grey clouds, it is the rain that causes seeds to sprout. Rejoice therefore, that the Lord grants us both the sun and the rain in order to grow us for...
What type of activities in your life need to decrease so that intimacy with Christ can increase? What "focuses" need to shrink so that God's presence can expand? Consider how an intentional decrease can lead to an exponential increase. More of Him and less of me. "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30).
A few friends who understand your tears are much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your laughs. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity" (Proverbs 17:17).
We can own our guilt because the Lord has atoned for our guilt. We can disown our regret because it is impossible to change past events. And thus, after we have owned our guilt and disowned our regret, we can hone in on grace because our...
On Labor Day weekend, I’ll begin a new teaching series at Landmark Church titled “The Last Revelation: Countdown To The Kingdom.” For the past several months, I’ve been studying, praying, and seeking the Lord in preparation for what He desires to...
(continued from previous iBLOG—"Up On Stage") ….After thanking the appropriate parties for the invitation to be at the graduation ceremony, I transitioned to the reason I was requested to deliver the keynote in the first place; To remind the graduates how every decision they will make from this point forward will determine their destinies. So I thought, what would I tell the senior graduating version of myself? Hmmm, if I could go back and tell myself 5 of the most consequential truths that I have learned through my journey of transitions, what would I share? All of which came to light in my heart and mind in the darkness of prison. All of which were learned through trouble. But trouble that God trusted me with. Graduates…..
Truly it was a great honor to be invited--by the graduating seniors and the Administration of Atlantic Christian School--to be their 2015 commencement speaker. As I took the stage, I knew there were probably a lot of people who were wondering who I was and why was I up on stage with the honorary participants of the night. So I begin, “And in case you are wondering ‘who I am’ and ‘why am I up here?’ Well, please allow me to join you in that question….(dramatic pause)….but please also allow me to humbly propose to you, the answer: But by.....
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
Alright, alright, I hear all the buzz. We praise strength and those willing to go to great lengths to “be true to themselves.” But quite frankly, I don’t have enough time to “keep up with the Kardashians” or this worlds crazy shenanigans. I will say this however--I do think the “Caitlin Jenner” transition is mind boggling; but I am in no position to judge another persons journey. Besides, Jesus loves him just as much as He loves ALL. There is not a single individual that can escape the Savior’s Love, for He died for the world. So let’s get that straight. Having said that, I must add that when we pursue a path, we must be careful not to miss the boat, because we are not the “captains” of...
