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).
What's the point of Scripture? Answer: To know the Savior. You see, information may come when you know the Bible. But true life transformation comes when you know the Author. "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me" (John 5:39).
There is no bread that sustains like the Bread of Life; nor is there any water that can quench like the living water of Christ. In Him, we are full. And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst" (John 6:35).
The Good Shepherd will lead you where He needs you. Whether beside the "still waters" to still you or to the green pastures to fill you. "The Lord is my shepherd;I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters" (Psalm 23:1-2).
The cross doesn't give us a license to sin. The cross shows us the destruction of sin and the salvation offered by the Son. You see, to adore the Son is to abhor sin. "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:14).
Our faith in God needs to be greater than our fear of man. You see, when we are intimate with the Lord, we will not be intimidated by any fear in this world. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (II Timothy 1:7).
Understanding the Word of God means nothing unless we are also standing under the God of the Word. You see, knowing should lead to showing and hearing should lead to doing. "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" (James 1:22).
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...
It's true, you never really know what you've got until it's gone. But also, in some situations, it takes being gone to realize what you've got. Being back in Florida with my family for the first time in 6 years has taught me a humbling lesson about the void that I left my parents with since I've been gone. Other family members, who are here with us now, (and were here in years past) have told me privately how both my mother and my father have a different type of vacation relief this time around. You see, it's as if--for the past 5 Florida trips--they've left behind a "peace" of luggage that was locked up and....
You really can't walk a few feet in Disney World without seeing people taking photographs. Most of those photo op's involve posing in front of a scenic background or vibrant foreground. Whether it's a giant castle behind you or Minnie Mouse next to you, there is just something "magical" about capturing the moment....or is it more about capturing our own likeness? I'm sorry, this is just how my mind works these days! Perhaps we love seeing ourselves in a picture because deep down inside we are reminiscing about that which is eternal. Perhaps it's not the external image that we are.....
Let's just say I couldn't see this day six years ago.....though, while I was "there", I imagined it every year that my family was here. And it is the imagination that can often be a preview of coming attractions. Anyway, last time I was in Florida was 6 years ago--post-tragedy and pre-prison. And as Magic Kingdom was an amusement option during that time with my family--please understand--it wasn't ALL "Disney" for me....In fact, I would soon be....
("Imprisoned by Peace" is Book #1 of 5 from the Core Conviction Series and was written while I was in prison): Where have I been most of my young life thus far? I have been all over the country in my travels with soccer, from childhood as a novice player to adulthood as a professional athlete. I have been to so many great colleges and universities, visiting those campuses either for pleasure or sports-related activities. I have even lived in some beautiful cities in my day. But where have I been while being where I was? Now in prison, I realize that though I have been all over and claimed to be a man of faith, I made this claim when I was “beside myself.” I never fully understood that I was going through the motions in life spiritually and that there needed to be a catalyst that would bring me “back to myself.” I found my way from here to there, but I was lost! This View Apart from my prison experience is...
