You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
At the end of Paul’s life, we don’t see a spotlight on himself, we see a list of names highlighting others. Quiet servants. Hidden helpers. Ordinary people who stayed faithful. In a world that celebrates fame, God honors faithfulness. (See 2 Timothy 4:19-22)
Ignorance of God's goodness is the cause of all bitterness. Because when we truly grasp God's grace, the root of bitterness will have no grip on our lives. "See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of...
There is no refuge from Christ, there is only refuge in Christ. In other words, the only way to be saved from the wrath of God is to be saved by the love of God. "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in...
To choose Barabbas over Jesus is madness. And yet every time we follow the loud crowd at our souls expense instead of standing for the One who paid our debt, we do just that. Therefore, let us be willing to stand for...
Blessed are those who come to Christ for who He is and not just what He gives. Yes, He gives good gifts, but more than that, He is the good gift. “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15)
The yoke of Christ is intolerable to the heart of the rebel, but it is liberating to the shoulder of the believer. Because those that love Jesus will trust His harness. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will...
The noise of the world is always trying to drown out the voice of the Lord. And it will if you let it. So shut off the media's babel and tune into the Holy Bible. "You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him" (Deuteronomy 13:4).
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......
