You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
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).
Our grandest defense against heresy is to hear what God has to say. You see, if we hear God's truth, we will not have ears for Satan's lies. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Roman 10:17).
Integrity threatens those who lack it. And you’ll know that’s the case when a person lies in order to save face. "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight" (Proverbs 12:22).
It is on our most holy faith that the "building" of our lives must be based. On Christ the solid rock we stand, for all other ground is sinking sand. "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith..." (Jude 20).
Tragically, it is possible to be a "theological Christian" and yet remain a "practical pagan." This is what it means to have a form of godliness but denying its power. "For men will be lovers of themselves...having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" (2 Timothy 3:2, 5).
Our faith in Christ needs to be greater than our fear of man. It doesn't matter what man thinks. What matters is what God said. "In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26).
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...
In honor of the Christmas season and the fact that my brother John’s upcoming 10th anniversary to heaven (December 15th ) is upon us, I thought it was fitting to post a Christmas column that my mom wrote a year after his death. The year Jesus Himself showed up at Christmas. May it bless all of those who are grieving a loss during this season. You can hear more about grief and the holidays in this week’s radio podcast ‘HIS BIRTH is GREATER than DEATH.’ You can tune in by clicking on the "Matt & Mom Live!" tab at my website, www.themattmaherstory.com. WHEN JESUS CAME CALLING By Andrea Maher I love Christmas. I never tire of the beauty of this season.....
Imagine the thrill of just seeing your child graduate from high school— all the excitement of a bright future filling your heart. It is one of those pinnacle days for any parent. And then imagine, just hours later, at midnight, getting a knock at your front door and opening it to see a group of somber police officers asking, “Are you Dr. Verea?” And then the news that would implode the world of Dr. Jorge and Lourdes Verea. Their precious daughter Rebeka was dead....
Nothing long today, but strong in every way. Not so wide either, but deep. It’s the difference between seed and sod. It’s the contrast between root growing and surface showing. It’s the polarized results of the “here I am” perspective and the “there you are” objective.One way leads to life, while the other way leads to strife. Seed goes deep and pushes up....
I’m not actually sure where this month has gone, wow! Thanksgiving 2009 seems like it was just yesterday. It was my last Thanksgiving as a free man for at least the next 5 years. And I can recall wishing that the time would slow down, as January 7, 2010, my sentencing day, was quickly approaching. If we fast-forward to now, Thanksgiving 2011, you would think I....
