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...
Ever heard the saying, “I’m not perfect.” I hope so, because if you’re human than you probably used it. But that’s not the excuse I’m offering today. Not when you know the root of such a saying can be an excuse for the absence of accountability. Please allow me to explain. When I was in prison, we ran a Bible study on my tier. This fellowship time was not only the pulse of the housing unit, but it was also the bulls- eye of those who didn’t attend. Many would sit on the outskirts listening, curious about the mechanisms of a Bible study. Some would sit secluded in their areas ignoring the content being shared, but still aware of.....
--journal, March 2010, from prison-- How can we ever possibly think this life is hard compared to what Jesus went through? Fully God and fully human. He felt everything we feel, yet lived without sin. Jesus left his home in heaven to live on earth. He experienced the eternal pleasures of His kingdom, yet he decided to take on the discomfort of our slums, for what? For God so loved the world (John 3:16). And all we have to do is believe in Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. He already did the hard stuff. Born human, but all God. Sinless, but among sinners; deserving of constant praise and adoration, but received insults and blaspheming tongues; could have ascended.....
I cannot be hesitant to lend my opinion to the current cultural discussion that is taking place via media sources. My faith calls me to do so—and I hope when I speak that I always speak with the love of Christ. I try to keep it real-- my “Volume Up” videos hold nothing back. My past blogs never stuttered when it came to presenting truth. So considering the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the institution of marriage, I biblically, practically, and mathematically have a response. You see, the hashtag used to celebrate this monumental law change, #LoveWins, makes me ask the question: Does love really win? Ok, I get it. Man’s personal application of love seemingly won, but....
The weather has been pretty suspicious lately rapidly moving from random and sporadic thunderstorms to hail falling from the sky to tornadoes touching down. Sometimes the weather forecast seems to be inconsistent, yet most of the time, we are still able to discern what’s coming by way of satellites and maps. And that reminds me of the words of Jesus as He rebukes the religious folk for asking for a sign from heaven. He sharply says, “Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3). So how is it we can discern the face of the sky, but not discern....
