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 love of Jesus can never be divorced from the truth of Jesus. The moment we want love without truth is the moment we have accepted an unbiblical version of Jesus. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).
Many people may be convinced of the Gospel, but they have never been converted by the Gospel. The former knows information, the latter knows transformation. "But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him" (I John 2:5).
The fastest way to lose spiritual sensitivity is to give yourself over to sensuality. You see, when we stop feeding the spirit, we become bound and blinded by the flesh. "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16).
Please do tell--what does an heir of heaven have in common with an heir of hell? Nothing. Therefore, let us be set apart from the world and for the Lord. "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)
If Satan can convince angels to leave heaven, he can connive humans into hell. And that is why we must remain vigilant against his lies by remaining intimate with the truth. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8).
The only way to be guarded in heart is to be girded by truth. You see, it's the truth that grounds us, guards us, and ultimately grow us in the Lord. "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth..." (Ephesians 6:14).
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.....
