You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When it comes to the sword of the Lord, it is better to be under the scalpel of conviction than the spear of correction. Therefore, let His Word do surgery before sin does damage. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword...” (Hebrews 4:12).
Hell has many ways. Heaven but one. Thus, know Christ, no death. Or, no Christ, know death. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
Those who are obedient to truth are never compliant to lies. You see, real eyes realize real lies; and as a result, disciples of Christ do not blindly comply. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth..." (John 16:13).
Now to Him who is able to preserve you on earth from falling and present you in heaven without fault. "To God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen" (Jude 25).
He who walks with integrity walks securely. In other words, you do not need to worry about outcomes when you trust the Lord for all that comes out. "He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known" (Proverbs 10:9).
God is in control always and in all ways. Thus, He is worthy of praise always and in all our ways. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
There is no such thing as human chance or coincidence, just divine providence. And to know this is to always have peace through any crisis. "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" (Isaiah 26:3).
Two years ago, on October 7, a terroristic and murderous act unleashed a wave of evil the world cannot afford to forget. Hamas’s barbaric assault on Israeli civilians wasn’t “resistance," it was terrorism, plain and simple. Israel’s response, though fierce, has been a just defense under the...
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
Our performance doesn’t enhance or reduce God’s faithfulness. And with that opening sentence, it is my utmost privilege to report that God is still in the salvaging business despite our idea behind our own personal usefulness. Sarah and I recently participated in a youth event in Pennsylvania where I was the keynote speaker of the night. I’ve done this particular “presentation” before, which requires PowerPoint slides and embedded video; for it is the most structured way to tell my story without getting caught up in certain areas and timelines. Time is always ticking....
