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...
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....
