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)
God's faithful plan runs through the falls and flaws of man. In other words, nothing we do (or don't do) can thwart what God is doing. However, let us commit to doing God's will so as to be a part of what He is doing. "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
The Gospel is not what you can do for Jesus, but what Jesus has done for you. And since He became a dying sacrifice for us, let us become living sacrifices for Him. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you...
The nearest and dearest encounters with Jesus are often in the furnace. Why? Because trials often strip us of our worldly comfort and get us to long for God's comfort. Fiery trials refine our faith and renew our focus. “Beloved, do not...
Faith is trusting in the Lord regardless of the feelings within us, the forces around us, and even the fate before us. Faith in Christ infuses us with His strength which enables us to go the length of any trial. "I can...
Immovable faith comes from trusting in God's ability while submitting to His sovereignty. It's knowing God can deliver and He will deliver, but even if He doesn't, we will still trust Him. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and...
Our hope will not be found on Capitol Hill but Calvary's Hill. Remember, our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His...
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...
The problem with our country is NOT that evil or darkness has entered every facet of our every day culture. No! I believe the evil and darkness are a direct result of goodness and light failing to stand up and stand out within our culture. You see, evil can only triumph when good men choose to do nothing. And darkness can only prevail when light is not present. The Bible declares, “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” (John 1:4). The LIGHT SHINES (present). The DARKNESS DID NOT (past). The victory has already been won; yet, it appears we are living in defeat. Nonsense! The darkness did not comprehend.....
Ever heard the saying, “I’m not perfect.” I hope so, because if you’re human than you probably used it. But that’s not the excuse I’m offering today. Not when you know the root of such a saying can be an excuse for the absence of accountability. Please allow me to explain. When I was in prison, we ran a Bible study on my tier. This fellowship time was not only the pulse of the housing unit, but it was also the bulls- eye of those who didn’t attend. Many would sit on the outskirts listening, curious about the mechanisms of a Bible study. Some would sit secluded in their areas ignoring the content being shared, but still aware of.....
--journal, March 2010, from prison-- How can we ever possibly think this life is hard compared to what Jesus went through? Fully God and fully human. He felt everything we feel, yet lived without sin. Jesus left his home in heaven to live on earth. He experienced the eternal pleasures of His kingdom, yet he decided to take on the discomfort of our slums, for what? For God so loved the world (John 3:16). And all we have to do is believe in Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. He already did the hard stuff. Born human, but all God. Sinless, but among sinners; deserving of constant praise and adoration, but received insults and blaspheming tongues; could have ascended.....
I cannot be hesitant to lend my opinion to the current cultural discussion that is taking place via media sources. My faith calls me to do so—and I hope when I speak that I always speak with the love of Christ. I try to keep it real-- my “Volume Up” videos hold nothing back. My past blogs never stuttered when it came to presenting truth. So considering the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the institution of marriage, I biblically, practically, and mathematically have a response. You see, the hashtag used to celebrate this monumental law change, #LoveWins, makes me ask the question: Does love really win? Ok, I get it. Man’s personal application of love seemingly won, but....
