You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Faith isn’t proven by getting what we want, but by trusting the Lord even when we don’t. Even when healing delays or the answer is “wait,” grace still holds us. Because sometimes God doesn’t remove the struggle, but He always stays with us in it. “Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick" (2 Timothy 4:20).
"In myself, nothing. In Christ, everything" (AW Tozer). Let this be the pulse of our hearts, the reach of our hands, and the worship of our lives. "For in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
The world is only getting darker, yet these are the exact conditions for the Christian to shine brighter. And brighter doesn't mean louder, it means righteously bolder. "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and...
The Word of God is timeless and timely at the same time. It not only transcends culture and doesn't change, but it also has the power to transform souls and bring lasting change. "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul" (Psalm 19:7).
Faith isn't based on our ability. Faith is based on how we trust in God's ability. And when we place our faith in Christ, He then places His strength in us. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
Stay focused! Every individual in the Bible that you admire has been through the fire. And God often uses the fire of a trial to burn off the dross of worldliness and forge us into the image and likeness of Jesus. "For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined" (Psalm 66:10).
The aim of Jesus Christ is not to reform the manners of society, but to change the hearts of sinners. Because a heart changed by the gospel will not be overcome by evil nor will it bow down to the idol of popular opinion. Again, the greatest need of the world is not man’s legislation, but God’s salvation.
Comparative Analysis: Christianity vs. Islam Revelation and Textual Integrity: The Bible vs. The Quran • Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from the angel Gabriel for about 23 years, starting in 609 AD. The result was a sea of contradictions...
Truly it was a great honor to be invited--by the graduating seniors and the Administration of Atlantic Christian School--to be their 2015 commencement speaker. As I took the stage, I knew there were probably a lot of people who were wondering who I was and why was I up on stage with the honorary participants of the night. So I begin, “And in case you are wondering ‘who I am’ and ‘why am I up here?’ Well, please allow me to join you in that question….(dramatic pause)….but please also allow me to humbly propose to you, the answer: But by.....
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
Alright, alright, I hear all the buzz. We praise strength and those willing to go to great lengths to “be true to themselves.” But quite frankly, I don’t have enough time to “keep up with the Kardashians” or this worlds crazy shenanigans. I will say this however--I do think the “Caitlin Jenner” transition is mind boggling; but I am in no position to judge another persons journey. Besides, Jesus loves him just as much as He loves ALL. There is not a single individual that can escape the Savior’s Love, for He died for the world. So let’s get that straight. Having said that, I must add that when we pursue a path, we must be careful not to miss the boat, because we are not the “captains” of...
This blog is for me. It’s my reminder to remember where I once was and the work that only God could have ever accomplished. It’s so easy to forget the past places we’ve been and even the past faces we’ve seen. For me, the place was prison; and for this blog, the face is a young man named Tommy. When I first met Tommy, his nickname was Toast. Tommy Toast. And he “earned” this name because he spent a lot of time being “burnt out.” You see, Tommy was a self-proclaimed heroin addict. His addiction made heroin his salvation. However, his pursuit for the false salvation of drugs only left him so high that his actions consequentially led him to be so low. Oh so low. How low can you go? Well, this level has only one condition and position lower, and that is.....
