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).
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).
Authority no longer under God begins to play God. And even as there are those who want to remove "one nation under God" from our society in rage, we can still rest assured that our God still reigns. "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision" (Psalm 2:4).
The insurrection against the Lord led to the resurrection of the Lord. In other words, such evil precipitated the living hope of the Gospel. "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?" (Read Psalm 2)
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...
