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).
Our present world may look bad, but nothing happens apart from the plan of God. You see, God is able to recycle man's rebellion to bring about His redemption. "He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings..." (Daniel 2:21).
God not only orders our steps but even our stops. So whether God says "stop" or "step," His peace comes to us when His orders are kept. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way" (Psalm 37:23).
Hope in Christ will get you to stand up even if the whole world is telling you to stay down and shut up. You see, hope in Christ alone is the anchor that holds us and emboldens us. "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil" (Hebrews 6:19).
When you're living for Jesus, you can expect haters to surface. As a result, learn to keep your eyes on Him and you will not have ears for them. "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12).
The world will do everything it can to keep you from hearing the voice of God. Because the moment we stop hearing from God is the moment we stop living for God. "Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it" (Hebrews 2:1).
When we look to a changing world, such a shaky view will shake our faith. But when we look to an unchanging God, such a steady view births a stable faith. "Look to the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!" (Psalm 105:4).
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....
