You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
At the end of Paul’s life, we don’t see a spotlight on himself, we see a list of names highlighting others. Quiet servants. Hidden helpers. Ordinary people who stayed faithful. In a world that celebrates fame, God honors faithfulness. (See 2 Timothy 4:19-22)
Nothing in this world can take your life until God permits. And nothing in this world can preserve your life unless God permits. Thus, let us learn to trust what God permits and let us find rest in knowing nothing can happen without His permission. "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1).
Hope in Christ. For all other people and places are hopeless. And when our hope is in Christ alone, we come to know this world is not our home. "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
Worldly people will always be compliant with the ways of the world. Conversely, godly people will always be obedient to the ways of God. Thus, let us choose this day who we will obey! Obedience over compliance. "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).
Those who behold heaven will be held by heaven. You see, when the mind is set on things above, the mind becomes settled by the King above. "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Colossians 3:2).
The answer to every prayer is "God's will be done." In other words, if you believe His will is always best, then it's easy to trust that He will answer your request. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
Seasons change, but God remains the same. People may be inconsistent, but God remains constant. He is the never-changing God in an ever-changing world. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
The following was written to my parents three weeks after my accident on April 1, 2009. My mother recently found it in a pile of notes in her old Bible. Considering I just got done teaching “You Are What You Keep,” Part 2 of our series Unbreakable ReSOULutions at my church, I am in awe of what the Holy Spirit guided me to write--that many years ago. This is just a portion of the three-page letter: Dad and Mom: So where do I begin? My mind races every moment of the day and I still....
Have you ever heard the term “Swan Song?” It refers to the ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song in the moment just before death, having been silent or not so musical during most of their lifetime. Stemmed from Greek mythology, I find there is some metaphorical truth to this. It is often in our darkest moments that we have a decision to make regarding....
Nobody can curse what God has blessed.I will testify that having a “Merry Christmas” has nothing to do with presents and everything to do with His presence. And guess what? From the beginning of time, God allows His promises to be born in strange places. “In a manger” (Luke 2:7). My Savior was born outside the world’s acceptance. “No room for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7). Having a "Merry Christmas" isn't about being liked by the crowd.......
Every time I look at my Bible I’m reminded of two things: prison and peace. How is that possible? First, it wasn’t that prison was my peace, but I was imprisoned by peace while in prison. And the peace of God that guarded me was greater than any guard or wall that confined me. And second, one day I was out of my area and a guy in my housing unit decided to surprise me with a gift. This gentleman had noticed how worn and torn my Bible cover was and found it fitting to make a new unique cover for it. The material?
