You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The Gospel doesn’t just make bad people behave. It makes dead people live. This isn’t a self-help message, it’s a resurrection miracle. Christ didn’t come to improve us; He came to indwell us. “Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ…” (Ephesians 2:5).
Our life is secure in Christ, not because we hold onto Him, but purely because He holds onto us. So let go of your insecurities and let God be your security. "For the Lord will be your security, and will keep your foot from being caught" (Proverbs 3:26).
Remember, we don't use God to fulfill our plans. Rather, God uses us to fulfill His plans. "The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me" (Psalm 138:8).
God may be silent but He's never absent. You see, sometimes His silence is a way to test our faith's resilience. Again, we may not hear Him, but He is always near us. It is this fact of faith that should under-gird our act of faith.
It is our faith in Christ that grants us access to God's throne room of grace. But our faith doesn't just bring us to Him, it also makes us more like Him. "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are...
Pray about everything. Literally. Because nothing is too large for God's omnipotence nor is anything too small for God's attentiveness. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6).
Your petition to get more of God will be answered when God gets more of you. In other words, since He has already given us all of Himself in Christ, then we must decrease so He can increase in our life. "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30).

These thoughts were written in March of 2013 while I was incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility. As I re-read them now all of this time later, I realize they are still appropriate. These thoughts are still the desire of my heart ("that Jesus may increase and I may decrease"): "I just want to be avoided or overlooked by my peers and especially by the...
I always try to write out of a storehouse of my own experiences and feelings. I mean, when I present hope as being the anchor of the soul through a struggle, I'm not just throwing out a platitude. I’m doing so from having lived through the paralyzing feel of struggle. Many struggles. However I have learned that hope is a handle, that allow...
I strike several keys on my word processor, stringing unrelatable words together, and then I pause. Backspace. Backspace. I hold down the backspace key until the screen is blank again. If the machine could speak it would say, “STOP PUSHING BUTTONS!” Not yet! Because I cannot rest until...
What is the definition of being unchained? It's being free to think how my Lord thinks. “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (I Corinthians 2:16). That’s why it is impossible for a nonbeliever to figure out the mind of a believer. A godly man is an enigma. One that counts it joy to fall into various trials, knowing that testing leads to a grade. Graded growth, where A+ faith produces A+ works. That’s why it is written that...
