You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Waiting on the Lord isn’t weakness, it’s worship. God is never tardy; He’s always timely. He strengthens the heart that waits on Him in faith. Even when answers delay, His presence never does. “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14)
The further a society strays from truth, the more it will hate those who stand for truth. And even when the world is against you in every way, speak the truth anyway. “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you" (John 15:18).
Even if a dry and thirsty desert surrounds you, when with Jesus, you will always have living waters within you. His presence brings sustenance. "O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1).
Just as the Lord works through faith, Satan works through fear. And when fear is present, peace is absent. Thus, let your faith rise as peace falls and fear flees. "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?" (Psalm 56:3-4)
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...
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
In two days I will be married. Or as our Instagram hashtag creatively expresses it, #letsgetMAHERied. There has been so much planning in such a short period of time (six weeks). From the day we set the date of November 8th, the favor from God has been overwhelming. (And thankfully we have our parents, siblings and other extended family members who have worked tirelessly for this day; ALL FORMS of FAVOR). One of the initial obstacles was finding a church large enough to hold our guest list. Thankfully a long time friend and Pastor......
Man, heck with “likes,” I’m trying to save lives! And NO, I'm not the Messiah. I'm just a wick that Jesus has set on fire! No disrespect to anyone who has ever “liked” my pics or points, but when do we make what we “like” online the very manifestation of what we are like outside: Outside the screen, whether it be our cell phone or our computer at home. I’m tired of being reduced to a “like” on my Facebook wall. If you don’t believe it.....
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
