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)
God rules over all. This means He is able to over-rule any and all schemes that the enemy attempts to bring. In other words, weapons formed become blessings for! "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17)
The right way to spend the next hour is to spend it as if it were your last hour. And if that be true, let Christ be magnified over every hour that graces you. "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Colossians 3:17).
God made us on purpose for a purpose. "On purpose" because He doesn't make mistakes and "for a purpose" because He wants our lives to highlight His great grace. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them"(Ephesians 2:10).
Since God's Word is our authority, we should speak it without apology. This is not a license to be rude, this is a license to speak truth. "Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth" (Jeremiah 1:9).
The only way to dismantle lies is to rightly handle the word of truth. You see, without a proper handle on truth, one can easily be handed over to a lie. "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).
Hands that reform are beneficial. But hearts that repent are crucial. You see, unless hearts return to the Lord, nothing will change in our land. "The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and...
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....
