You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Trials aren’t setbacks, they’re setups for growth. God allows testing to stretch your faith and develop spiritual endurance. And having joy in hardship isn’t denial, it’s trust in God’s refining process; because the goal isn’t survival but maturity. “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4).
Our mistakes cannot make God love us less. In fact, our mistakes (when given to God) become passageways for His grace. "The LORD gives beauty for ashes" (Isaiah 61:3).
Newsflash: As a nation, we are on the road to revival or ruin, and where we land depends upon what the Christians are doing. Yes, we can rally and we can roar, but the greater need is to seek God more. You see, if we repent, God will...
As this world gets darker and darker, the Christian should be shining brighter and brighter. We shouldn't be looking at the darkness and pointing it out, but rather we should be pointing our lives toward the darkness and lighting it up! Wherever the...
Trust the Lord with your circumstances and rest knowing He controls the consequences. You see, peace can only arrest our heart when we rest in God's heart. "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans" (Proverbs 16:3).
Championing social justice without the Gospel is like pushing sobriety on an alcoholic without removing the bottle. Translation: if the solution doesn’t involve heart change, then no matter the energy or noise, the efficacy will...
God's peace for us is always in the present. So when we regret the past or stress the future, peace can no longer be our governor. "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful" (Colossians 3:15).
Many are reacting to the recent exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, but the real issue isn’t politics, it’s perspective. More specifically, it’s a lack of biblical perspective. Despite their influence, both men reveal a limited grasp of Scripture. Tucker views everything through an America-first lens, opposing any foreign policy...
[Admin Note: This is a journal entry from Matthew's time in prison, recorded on October 16th, 2010] I failed terribly today, and I have to admit, it was well worth it. I tend to suffer most in the recovery following these moments of failure, but trust that the more I suffer, the more I will eventually have to offer others. Please allow me to explain: I allowed a trivial incident to steal my peace today and I learned a valuable lesson in the process: I can only be
Life is like a photo and how you live is the picture that is displayed. Some live for the selfie--to be the main focus--while others live in light of the picture frame, which represents the love of Jesus. Track with me please: Because if the picture frame is the love of Jesus, then the reason to change holds us. It surrounds us. It completely and irreversibly captures us. And like a snap shot, this picture frame deserves a second look. A studied look. Yet too many people only focus on the picture in the frame, completely missing....
It is better to wake up in dark circumstances with God’s presence than to wake up alone in presumed light without God’s assurance. Even in times of trial and darkness, when with God, the lessons and understanding are deeper in the dark than...
I was talking to a friend recently about worry. Actually and more specifically, we were talking about the "cares" of our work week and how when we begin to inadvertently pick up cares because of our work, we actually become weak. Meaning, when we start to carry cares, we start to worry more, which in turn steals our strength. It's a vicious cycle that God never...
