You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
At the end of Paul’s life, we don’t see a spotlight on himself, we see a list of names highlighting others. Quiet servants. Hidden helpers. Ordinary people who stayed faithful. In a world that celebrates fame, God honors faithfulness. (See 2 Timothy 4:19-22)
The truth is a torch that needs to be held forth. In these days of darkness, the Church ought to be blazing the path of righteousness regardless of any opposition or persecution. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).
To God, it's not about being religious but being righteous. You see, too many people have a form of godliness but they're not formed by godliness. Such is Christ's righteousness in us and upon us. "'For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
"The cause of God is never in danger: infernal craft is outwitted by infinite wisdom, and Satanic malice held in check by boundless power" (Charles Spurgeon). Translation, God wins! "The Lord catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them" (Job 5:13).
The stature of God stands behind the person (or people) who abide by the statutes of God. You see, the Lord is looking for a loyal heart to stand behind and set apart. "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Having a certain faith in the midst of uncertain days always trusts in God's certain ways. In other words, you don't need to know it all when you know the One who holds it all. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
It is incompatible to know that God bought you, while still living as if sin owns you. Mind you, in Christ, "you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (I Corinthians 6:20).
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...
The everyday pressures I face, when compared to my former pressures, is the difference between a hurricane and a light rain. An umbrella adequately covers one; but there are limited safety precautions for the other. Prison pressure was a hurricane, making life’s current pressure nothing but a light rain. I was in an earthly form of hell for over 4 and 1/2 years, yet I emerged....
In honor of my mother’s newly released book “SLAMMED,” and it’s emphasis on faith in God in the midst of a storm, I would like to share an abbreviated version of the words spoken at my brother John’s funeral -- nine years ago-- on behalf of my mother by her friend. (It’s worth the longer read!)-------- An amazing thing happened three decades ago in Bayside Village. There in the spring of 1978, John and Cherri Olsen—that’s my husband and me and our baby son John moved into the barn-style house at 110 Oakdale Ave. directly across the street from the barn-style house at 109 Oakdale Ave, where John and Andrea Maher lived with their baby son, John. And I noticed right away that their house was......
I must say --with all humility-- that I do not care who follows me on social media. I obviously take these platforms seriously based on the content of my posts and pictures; and I hope whoever is following me feels as if I am leading them somewhere worthwhile. It is truly my intent to instigate integrity, inspire initiative, and infuse insight through these vehicles. And I get it, everyone wants as many followers as possible when it comes to these channels -- more followers equals more popularity…I guess. I am not trying to lose followers, and my desire is not to gain followers.....
Yesterday was exactly 5 years since my sentencing day. The day I was physically incarcerated, but spiritually liberated (I-VII-X). And much has happened in this time-span. Much has grown. Much has died. Much has multiplied. You see, I could not visualize where I’d be weeks, months, or years from that fateful day that I was sentenced away. I could only see the moments before me and the opportunities around me. Both presented decisions to be made--Maximize the situation or criticize my life’s condition? I think....
