You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we insist on settling scores ourselves, we carry a weight God never intended us to bear. Scripture shows that evil doesn’t need our help to fail, it collapses when exposed to God’s light. Releasing the outcome to the Lord guards our hearts from bitterness and keeps us aligned with His righteousness. True strength is trusting God to handle what we cannot. “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14).
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...
In the days following Charlie Kirk’s murder, something unexpected happened and the world witnessed it: people returned to church, conversations turned to repentance, and Christ was openly exalted. But whenever God begins to move, the enemy seeks to interrupt the work with confusion and accusation. Jesus told us plainly that Satan is “the father...
In honor of my mother’s newly released book “SLAMMED,” and it’s emphasis on faith in God in the midst of a storm, I would like to share an abbreviated version of the words spoken at my brother John’s funeral -- nine years ago-- on behalf of my mother by her friend. (It’s worth the longer read!)-------- An amazing thing happened three decades ago in Bayside Village. There in the spring of 1978, John and Cherri Olsen—that’s my husband and me and our baby son John moved into the barn-style house at 110 Oakdale Ave. directly across the street from the barn-style house at 109 Oakdale Ave, where John and Andrea Maher lived with their baby son, John. And I noticed right away that their house was......
I must say --with all humility-- that I do not care who follows me on social media. I obviously take these platforms seriously based on the content of my posts and pictures; and I hope whoever is following me feels as if I am leading them somewhere worthwhile. It is truly my intent to instigate integrity, inspire initiative, and infuse insight through these vehicles. And I get it, everyone wants as many followers as possible when it comes to these channels -- more followers equals more popularity…I guess. I am not trying to lose followers, and my desire is not to gain followers.....
Yesterday was exactly 5 years since my sentencing day. The day I was physically incarcerated, but spiritually liberated (I-VII-X). And much has happened in this time-span. Much has grown. Much has died. Much has multiplied. You see, I could not visualize where I’d be weeks, months, or years from that fateful day that I was sentenced away. I could only see the moments before me and the opportunities around me. Both presented decisions to be made--Maximize the situation or criticize my life’s condition? I think....
The New Year is upon us, and for me personally, nothing has changed except the date. I was living for Jesus in 2014 and I do NOT plan on ceasing in 2015. Of course the New Year brings with it new seasons and new reasons to attack life, but without Jesus writing your game plan, then this new season will turn into new reasons for life to attack you. You see, when the 12 turns to a 1, we resolve....
