You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
Since only God knows the point of no return, we should never reach a point where we are not calling for a return to God. "Let us examine and probe our ways, and let us return to the Lord" (Lamentations 3:40).
Those God intends to use are enrolled in the school of brokenness. Without such classes of crushing, there would be no anointing. Broken vessels are open vessels. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us" (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Those who have an "I" problem will also have an eye problem. In other words, when we are full of ourselves, we cannot see the needs of anyone else. "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of...
You can choose humility or humiliation will choose you. "Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honor is humility" (Proverbs 18:12)
The applause of hands doesn't change the humble of heart. In other words, those whose hearts are real before the Lord are not persuaded by the appeal of the world. "Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord"" (Jeremiah 17:5).
There is a time to hold your tongue and there is a time when your tongue holds you. And to know which time is which is to know the different weights between the two. The one weight is when the Spirit presses you to wait. The other weight is when the Spirit presses you to speak. "There is a time to be silent and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:7).
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...
With yet another senseless tragedy, I know it is easy to become fatigued by sympathy. I mean, you cannot turn on the news these days without bad news dominating our eyes and ultimately creating anger, angst, or apathy within our hearts. Yet for the individual who calls them-self a "Christian," we must remember how Jesus said "in this world...
Being out of prison for this long, you'd probably think that I wouldn't still be in contact with so many jail-birds. No, not my former peers! I’m referring to my new friends at the seashore--seagulls. You see, seagulls were a common sight in the big yard and by watching them, I found some interesting parallels...
It is quite easy to be discontent with the place where God has placed you. Actually, it is because we lose sight of God's grace that we fight the place where God has chosen to plant us. But when we recognize that we are right where we need to be--which means we are surrendered to God's will--we become trees of righteousness, planted by the Lord for His glory through...
[Admin Note: This is a journal entry from Matthew's time in prison, recorded on October 16th, 2010] I failed terribly today, and I have to admit, it was well worth it. I tend to suffer most in the recovery following these moments of failure, but trust that the more I suffer, the more I will eventually have to offer others. Please allow me to explain: I allowed a trivial incident to steal my peace today and I learned a valuable lesson in the process: I can only be
