You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Don’t miss the precision of Christ’s supervision: He knew exactly what His people in Smyrna would face, and He set the limit. And don’t miss the provision: He promised the crown of life on the other side of suffering. What He orders, He oversees; what He permits, He provides for. "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10)
Without affliction, we often don’t change our direction. As David wrote, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your word” (Psalm 119:67). In other words, God will allow an affliction to grace our lives in order to move us closer to His life.
On the cross, love won. On the cross, sin is gone. On the cross, redemption started. On the cross, death was thwarted. On the cross, He bore our shame. On the cross, He knew our name. On the cross, Oh what a Savior. On the cross, no grace is...
The very One the world wants dead is the only One who died for the world. You see, the mob today still yells "crucify Him" in the way they reject the One True God. And yet, though the world rejects the Lord, that doesn't stop how the Lord...
What happened between man's greatest evil against God (the crucifixion) and God's greatest good for man (the Resurrection)? Jesus took our sin and shame to the deepest grave, He conquered death and made a way for all the world to...
Jesus spoke words of grace from the cross of shame. He said, "Father forgive them" even as we hung Him. In other words, there is no failure of ours that will ever speak louder than the character of God. His forgiveness is greater than our sinfulness. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34).
Celebrating Holy Week is traditional, but celebrating the Holy One who descended upon that week is the Gospel. "No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown" (William Penn). Enough said! "Then the multitudes who...
Charlie Kirk was assassinated. That alone should grieve us. But what followed has been equally disturbing: conspiracies blaming Israel, Mossad, or “the Jews.” Some call it discernment, but it’s delusion. This is a spiritual fog: a mix of historical ignorance, antisemitic tropes, YouTube rabbit holes, and...
An timely reminder came to me on the night of my wedding encouraging me to view the time as a good friend. One of my groomsmen said to me multiple times, as the reception was progressing, “Breath it all in. It will never happen, ever again, like this!” And with those timely words, time never became so alive and so on my side. Instead of getting caught up in the speed of the reception.......
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.....
