You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The only way higher is to go lower—in humility. The only way straight is to lean into what is right—in God’s sight. There is no other way to truly live this life but to die to self and be found in Christ. God’s ways are often paradoxical: we lose to gain, surrender to overcome, and die to truly live. That’s why we can’t rely on what our eyes can see—but on what our faith can believe. “For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Dear Christian, if you can’t see how God is up to something, it's probably because you are preoccupied by something other than God.
God doesn't ask us to be successful, but He does invite us to be faithful. So let us share God's Word even when people don't care for God's Word. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11).
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).
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...
I’ll be completely honest as I share my initial thoughts during the recent leadership conference I attended. As Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley were up on stage talking about their paths of getting to where God has them currently, I could not help but think about my path, which—not for lack of a better word, but for the only word that fits—has me categorized as an anomaly. The definition of anomaly: A deviation from the common rule....
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
