Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
The Lord will shake our world when our grip on it becomes greater than our grip on Him. And to let go is to know you're not holding Him but He is holding you. "Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that...
It is impossible to be like Christ if we do not spend time with Christ. And if we neglect this discipline, how can we claim to be a disciple of Him? "A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher" (Luke 6:40).
God is faithful always and in all ways. And even when we cannot see evidence of His work, we can still trust His providence is at work. Always and in all ways. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
When we allow God to unmask us of our sin and shame, we give God access to remake us into the image of His Son. We go from sinners to sons and daughters. “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” (John 4:29)
Whatever is keeping you from the Lord needs to be removed from your life. Be it a relationship, a hobby or habit, it needs to be removed and replaced with the Lord. "I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved" (Psalm 16:8).
Peace is not the absence of crisis but the presence of Christ. Because when you are in Christ, it is possible to be in a storm while not allowing the storm to be in you. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the...
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...
You never really know how much someone is hurting. It’s impossible to see what is happening on the inside because it is human nature to create defensive dams on the outside to keep our intensive tears from breaking through like a faulty floodgate. Sometimes you can sense pent-up pain, but you can’t feel it compassionately unless you are allowed to touch it, and like a raw nerve that is exposed, it must be diagnosed and treated before one can get a sense.......
My sentencing day January 7th, 2010, came fast. Each day leading up to it was like the rushing sands in an hour glass pouring non-stop reminders that soon it would be empty and reckoning day was near; time flew by from Thanksgiving spilling right into Christmas. The holidays, with all their promise of hope and glad tidings, seemed mechanical and surreal. I felt detached; indifferent. The warm and fuzzy reminders of past family gatherings only added to the strain of going through the motions, putting on a face of hope, when all real enchantment was gone. In addition, this time of the year always brought to our remembrance the life of my brother who passed away....
The following was written to my parents three weeks after my accident on April 1, 2009. My mother recently found it in a pile of notes in her old Bible. Considering I just got done teaching “You Are What You Keep,” Part 2 of our series Unbreakable ReSOULutions at my church, I am in awe of what the Holy Spirit guided me to write--that many years ago. This is just a portion of the three-page letter: Dad and Mom: So where do I begin? My mind races every moment of the day and I still....
Have you ever heard the term “Swan Song?” It refers to the ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song in the moment just before death, having been silent or not so musical during most of their lifetime. Stemmed from Greek mythology, I find there is some metaphorical truth to this. It is often in our darkest moments that we have a decision to make regarding....
