You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Worry borrows tomorrow’s problems but spends today’s peace. The weight we imagine for the future often crushes our joy in the present. But God doesn’t ask us to carry tomorrow, He invites us to cast every care onto Him today. “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
The work of the flesh is always futile. But the work of the Spirit is always fruitful. You see, it's only what we do in Christ that will echo beyond this life. "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Romans 8:6).
We are either living on the pulse of the Spirit or the impulse of the flesh. Both are at odds, but only one is honorable to God. And we are led by whichever one is fed. Therefore, "walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16).
We err greatly by thinking the Church is a building filled with people. It is not. The Church is a people that God is building and filling with Himself. "I will build My church..." (Jesus).
The world defines greatness with numbers and how many people serve you. But the Lord applies greatness to the humble, which begs the question, "how can I serve you?" Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant (Matthew 20:26).
God's providence is expressed in the events that happen but also in what He prevents from happening. Whether visible or invisible, His hand is providential. "The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all" (Psalm 103:19).
The Lord's guidance is always tethered to His goodness. You see, whether it is a stop or a step, the Lord will direct and protect. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way" (Psalm 37:23).
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...
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.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
It’s weird knowing that everyone I was extremely close to in prison is now out—and life goes on for all of us…. Except my friend Sean McGuirk. My BFAM! (Brother From Another Mother). Sean is still incarcerated and has about 22 months left to serve on his 8-year sentence. He has recently been......
How do you silence the critic without coming out of character? It’s easy. Take what they are conjecturing and use it as an opportunity for lecturing. My wedding is less than 3 weeks away, and according to the grapevine consensus -- Sarah and I are.....
