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)
We've all been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting. And that is why the scales of divine justice can only be balanced by Christ's righteousness. "TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting" (Daniel 5:27).
In this world, error and lies will continue to overflow, but through the Lord, truth and light will always overcome. "And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it" (John 1:5).
The Hands that hung the world on its axis allowed the world's hands to hang Him on a cross. Let that sink in! Oh how great His sovereignty and humility. "He hangs the earth on nothing" (Job 26:7); "Then Pilate delivered Jesus to them to be crucified..." (John 19:16).
We can live to please God or we can live to appease man, but we cannot do both. And to live to please the Lord is to care less about being approved by the world. "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to...
Our faith is not determined by the Bill of Rights but by what the Bible says is right. In other words, in Christ alone, we are free to speak truth and we are truthfully free regardless of any push back or hostility. "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36).
All hell breaks loose when pulpits fail to preach truth. Conversely, heaven arrives when Christians choose courage over compromise. "Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law" (Proverbs 29:18).
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...
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
Alright, alright, I hear all the buzz. We praise strength and those willing to go to great lengths to “be true to themselves.” But quite frankly, I don’t have enough time to “keep up with the Kardashians” or this worlds crazy shenanigans. I will say this however--I do think the “Caitlin Jenner” transition is mind boggling; but I am in no position to judge another persons journey. Besides, Jesus loves him just as much as He loves ALL. There is not a single individual that can escape the Savior’s Love, for He died for the world. So let’s get that straight. Having said that, I must add that when we pursue a path, we must be careful not to miss the boat, because we are not the “captains” of...
This blog is for me. It’s my reminder to remember where I once was and the work that only God could have ever accomplished. It’s so easy to forget the past places we’ve been and even the past faces we’ve seen. For me, the place was prison; and for this blog, the face is a young man named Tommy. When I first met Tommy, his nickname was Toast. Tommy Toast. And he “earned” this name because he spent a lot of time being “burnt out.” You see, Tommy was a self-proclaimed heroin addict. His addiction made heroin his salvation. However, his pursuit for the false salvation of drugs only left him so high that his actions consequentially led him to be so low. Oh so low. How low can you go? Well, this level has only one condition and position lower, and that is.....
Oh Lord, I do not know why You have found favor with me, nor can I ever explain properly how gracious and merciful You have been with my life, for there are no words that could express such magnitude, such greatness, such splendor. Your NAME alone is worthy to be praised and adored. With no solitary act behind it and just three letters on a piece of paper, G-O-D, is worth more than life itself. Your NAME holds more weight than this world and at the sound of your NAME alone, the hearts of mankind shatter and nations crumble. But You declare more than just....
