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).
It doesn't matter if we know all the timelines of the Bible if we don't line up our times with the Bible. You see, what good is eschatology without knowing God personally? "Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed" (Romans 13:11).
Those who humbly know the Way will boldly go the Way. Also, nothing can get in the way of unashamedly showing others the Way. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek" (Romans 1:16).
While Jesus is preparing a place for us in heaven, He is preparing us for that place here on earth. You see, trials are for us in order to form us into the image of Jesus. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18).
To give the devil a toe-hold can quickly lead to a soul-hold. Yes, even a subtle compromise can begin a landslide to your own demise. Thus, we must guard our heart with all diligence so the Lord's way is our only consequence. "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
All that is happening is happening not so that we hold on to life but so that we hold on to Christ. You see, crisis is an opportunity to know who Christ is. "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death" (Philippians 3:10).
Jesus sat with sinners. He didn't sin with them. You see, He entered into our world so we could enter into His world. Likewise for us, when we empathize with people, we are making a way to evangelize the Gospel. "When Jesus heard it...
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...
My first Thanksgiving home and I am extremely grateful for where I am living. However, this Thanksgiving in particular--back in freedom--has me giving thanks for my past prison living. You see, for the past 4 years, my Thanksgiving was stripped of family, friends, and festivities. It was reduced to a mess-hall style meal, with canned cranberry as the most tasteful portion of the meal. Rubber turkey, watery mashed potatoes, and of course rice--even though it was supposed to be stuffing-- was served with every meal. For example, rice pudding was the dessert and the soup, just add water. In prison, you have to learn to love rice. Because hate it or love it, they are serving it. Anyway, as the traditional layers of Thanksgiving were completely peeled away.....
Have you ever heard something said about you that is false, yet certain people are convinced it's true? Well, I have. More times than I'd care to recall. And regardless of all the other times false news filled somebody else's ears with wax that blocks out the truth, the freshest is always the most flagrant. I don't need to go into explicit detail about what I'm talking about, but I will explicate what's false in order to regulate what's true. You see.....
I wonder… if Jesus were alive today, how would He use social media? Would He have a fan page on Facebook? Millions of followers on Twitter? Miraculous picture posts on Instagram? I wonder…how He would use YouTube—would He tell dynamic and enigmatic parables or would He teach about relationship over religion, love over law? I wonder…would Jesus use Vine? Would He join LinkedIn? Would Jesus Snapchat? I wonder if He would get so frustrated with having a “fan page” on Facebook that He.....
We're back! Las Vegas was a great time, but without gratefulness it would just be a waste of time. So with that being clearly stated, Sarah and I remain grateful to have been where we were and also to be where we are.....right where God has planted us; which is always right because we both only desire Gods plans for us. So where from here as a married man? Well......
