You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Those who understand the Word of God (in head) and who stand under the God of the Word (in heart) are those whose hands want to teach the found and reach the lost. Conversely, to have God's Word in our head and not our heart is religion without reality.
"When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christ-like, it resolves a great deal of anxiety." -A.W. Tozer
True repentance is contrite not contrived. And as such, some of us need to repent from our lack of awareness that we need repentance. "For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt...
There is no word that can prevail with God like His own Word. Thus, let us use the Word of God to petition the God of the Word, for He cannot deny what He has supplied. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall...
The greater our biblical awareness, the deeper our spiritual brokenness. In other words, to know God's heart is to feel the world's hurt. And to feel the hurt of the world is to be passionate about connecting people with the hope that is only found in the Lord.
If you are living godly, then don't be shocked when you are persecuted by those who hate God. Remember, righteousness often offends those who lack it. "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (II Timothy 3:12).
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...
Some may call it an epiphany, but I choose to call it a symphony, because these thoughts are music to my soul. I didn’t have to write this blog, I got to. I don't have to wake up and get in the Word, I get to. I don’t have to share my heart as I speak in schools, it’s a blessing to. I don’t have to prepare messages for church...
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...
