You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Trials aren’t setbacks, they’re setups for growth. God allows testing to stretch your faith and develop spiritual endurance. And having joy in hardship isn’t denial, it’s trust in God’s refining process; because the goal isn’t survival but maturity. “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4).
If we know Christ, we know all we need to know. In other words, knowing the Truth well is the relationship necessary to discern the lies of hell. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will...
From Cyrus the Great to leaders of late, God is able to use unrighteous rulers to accomplish His righteous rule. You see, His omnipotence is not hindered by man's wickedness. "Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, and he shall perform all My pleasure..." (Isaiah 44:28a).
God always has a remnant in every age. And the remnant would rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God. "Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how...
Christ is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all. In other words, we are either trusting Him with all things (the good, the bad, the ugly) because He is able, or our trust in Him is selective and thereby unstable. You see, comfort and confidence...
God is faithful, even when we are faithless. He is gracious, even when we are graceless. He loves us in spite of us. And He won't abandon His work of grace in us. "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).
The world's pleasures cannot fix the soul's problems. And to turn to them is to have them eventually turn on you. You see, truth be told, only Jesus can fill the hole in the soul. "For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things" (Psalm 107:9).
Many are reacting to the recent exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, but the real issue isn’t politics, it’s perspective. More specifically, it’s a lack of biblical perspective. Despite their influence, both men reveal a limited grasp of Scripture. Tucker views everything through an America-first lens, opposing any foreign policy...
I’ve had so many people tell me they are “glad my life has worked out the way it has.” Thanks! I am too. However, if I am going to be honest with you, I have to be the first to say how things haven't "worked out for me" randomly. But it is God who has worked things out for me purposefully. Nothing I am doing today has happened overnight, the same way a 100-meter sprinter....
You never really know how much someone is hurting. It’s impossible to see what is happening on the inside because it is human nature to create defensive dams on the outside to keep our intensive tears from breaking through like a faulty floodgate. Sometimes you can sense pent-up pain, but you can’t feel it compassionately unless you are allowed to touch it, and like a raw nerve that is exposed, it must be diagnosed and treated before one can get a sense.......
My sentencing day January 7th, 2010, came fast. Each day leading up to it was like the rushing sands in an hour glass pouring non-stop reminders that soon it would be empty and reckoning day was near; time flew by from Thanksgiving spilling right into Christmas. The holidays, with all their promise of hope and glad tidings, seemed mechanical and surreal. I felt detached; indifferent. The warm and fuzzy reminders of past family gatherings only added to the strain of going through the motions, putting on a face of hope, when all real enchantment was gone. In addition, this time of the year always brought to our remembrance the life of my brother who passed away....
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....
