When we lose our desperation for the Lord, we lose our dependence, because self-sufficiency always replaces surrender. Desperation isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s the birthplace of deeper trust. David cried out, not because God couldn’t hear, but because his soul couldn’t...
God's faithfulness is covenantal, not contractual. In other words, let us be thankful that He is faithful in and of Himself, and that His faithfulness is not dependent upon us. "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself" (2 Timothy 2:13).
Whatever is under God's control is never out of control. Thus, we'd do well to align our will with God's will! "Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness" (Psalm 143:10).
It's not just about not going to hell, but the ONE who saved you from hell. And it's not just about going to heaven, but the ONE who makes it heaven. It's about wanting more of Jesus now and having all of Jesus forever. "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:25-26).
Discernment is when our "eye sight" lines up with our insight. And such clarity comes only through the Word. To know the Word is to have the right eyes to see the world. "Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law" (Psalm 119:18).
When truth dies, lies thrive. And when lies thrive, people die. But faint not, because truth will eventually rise and reign in the righteous rule of Jesus Christ. So let us keep standing on His truth regardless of how far society strays from His truth. "So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth" (Jeremiah 7:28).
A civilization that kills its own will eventually kill itself. "O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name" (Daniel 9:19).

My sentencing day January 7th, 2010, came fast. Each day leading up to it was like the rushing sands in an hour glass pouring non-stop reminders that soon it would be empty and reckoning day was near; time flew by from Thanksgiving spilling right into Christmas. The holidays, with all their promise of hope and glad tidings, seemed mechanical and surreal. I felt detached; indifferent. The warm and fuzzy reminders of past family gatherings only added to the strain of going through the motions, putting on a face of hope, when all real enchantment was gone. In addition, this time of the year always brought to our remembrance the life of my brother who passed away....
The following was written to my parents three weeks after my accident on April 1, 2009. My mother recently found it in a pile of notes in her old Bible. Considering I just got done teaching “You Are What You Keep,” Part 2 of our series Unbreakable ReSOULutions at my church, I am in awe of what the Holy Spirit guided me to write--that many years ago. This is just a portion of the three-page letter: Dad and Mom: So where do I begin? My mind races every moment of the day and I still....
Have you ever heard the term “Swan Song?” It refers to the ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song in the moment just before death, having been silent or not so musical during most of their lifetime. Stemmed from Greek mythology, I find there is some metaphorical truth to this. It is often in our darkest moments that we have a decision to make regarding....
Nobody can curse what God has blessed.I will testify that having a “Merry Christmas” has nothing to do with presents and everything to do with His presence. And guess what? From the beginning of time, God allows His promises to be born in strange places. “In a manger” (Luke 2:7). My Savior was born outside the world’s acceptance. “No room for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7). Having a "Merry Christmas" isn't about being liked by the crowd.......
