You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
Consequences from bad decisions may be irreversible. But all circumstances when given to God are redeemable. In other words, nothing and no one is too scarred to be restored. “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 32:27)
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).
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...
--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....
The human body is a resilient instrument and can sustain a substantial amount of trauma. But, one of the most vulnerable organs is the heart--if it takes an intense hit-- the likelihood that the body will shut down is imminent. And that is what is known as a heart attack, where an inadequate supply of oxygen causes an area of the heart muscle to die, radiating and destroying other parts of the body. And while a physical heart attack can be fatal, quite the opposite occurs when the heart of God (His people) are attacked--it then proves to be resilient and full of mercy. God’s blood drips forgiveness as exhibited by the victims of those connected to the recent cold blood......
