You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
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...
The circumstances that look most flammable are often the ones that show the world how God is most faithful. "Look!” Nebuchadnezzar answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God” (Daniel 3:24-25).
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...
