You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The certainty that we will one day meet the King should shape the way we presently walk on earth. His return is not merely a future event to anticipate, but a present reality that calls us to holiness, faithfulness, and urgency. Those who are ready to meet Christ should live ready to represent Christ. “And so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
The truth is a torch that needs to be held forth. In these days of darkness, the Church ought to be blazing the path of righteousness regardless of any opposition or persecution. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).
To God, it's not about being religious but being righteous. You see, too many people have a form of godliness but they're not formed by godliness. Such is Christ's righteousness in us and upon us. "'For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
"The cause of God is never in danger: infernal craft is outwitted by infinite wisdom, and Satanic malice held in check by boundless power" (Charles Spurgeon). Translation, God wins! "The Lord catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them" (Job 5:13).
The stature of God stands behind the person (or people) who abide by the statutes of God. You see, the Lord is looking for a loyal heart to stand behind and set apart. "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Having a certain faith in the midst of uncertain days always trusts in God's certain ways. In other words, you don't need to know it all when you know the One who holds it all. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
It is incompatible to know that God bought you, while still living as if sin owns you. Mind you, in Christ, "you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (I Corinthians 6:20).
I haven’t stopped thinking about a question that came in during the final minutes of Wednesday night’s question-and-answer service. I recognize that many people have sincere and important questions surrounding this subject, so I wanted to reply with a more organized answer. Someone asked, “Why doesn’t Landmark Church have a deliverance ministry?”
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
I guess you can call me a mistake, or an accident, or at best a giant surprise-- because my parents didn’t plan on having me. And you might even call me slow or challenged because that’s what the doctor predicted I would probably be. Whatever you call it— I’m here! So herein lies the story: One hot summer day
[Sneak Peek of "When God Had My Back" (Coming Soon)] I was new to the prison yard, being in the building for only few months at this point, but I was no stranger to playing basketball with the brothers. I’m an athlete by nature and though it had been several years since I last won a high school basketball State Championship, I jumped right back into the...
