SHELTER IN THE STORM

September 4, 2025

God doesn’t promise a life without storms, but He does promise Himself as a shelter in the middle of them. Safety isn’t the absence of danger, it’s the presence of God. When life feels unsteady, faith isn’t about standing stronger on your own but running quicker to the One who never moves. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

July 29, 2020

Never let success get to your head, give the glory to God. Never let failure get to your heart, give the guilt to God. In the highs and lows, trust the Lord knows; and whether you rise or fall, turn to Him through it all. "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (I Corinthians 10:31).

LIVING LIKE GOD IS FAITHFUL

July 28, 2020

We won't be able to convince others that God is faithful if we are not living like God is faithful. You see, it is our life, not just our lips, that testify to God's goodness. "I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!" (Psalm 27:13)

GOD'S PERFECT PROVIDENCE

July 27, 2020

You may not be where you want to be, but God has you right where you need to be. And even though His work may not be obvious, you can still trust His perfect providence. "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand" (Proverbs 19:21).

THE LENS OF YOUR HEART

July 26, 2020

An individual will perceive the world through the lens they believe in their heart. So, as believers in Christ, we need to let that lens be constantly cleansed by biblical light. "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your...

GRACE, MERCY, AND PEACE

July 23, 2020

Grace is God giving us what we don't deserve. Mercy is God keeping us from what we do deserve. And peace is the result of when we understand both. "Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love" (II John 3).

GOD'S DESIRE IS TO FIX BROKEN SOULS

July 22, 2020

God isn't trying to fix the broken systems of the world. His desire is to fix the broken souls in this world. And it's through the Gospel of His Son that this is done. "Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as...

The Slippery Slope of Evil

August 31, 2025

Evil rarely shows up all at once, it slides in slowly. It often begins with a small compromise, a quiet exception to God’s clear standard. What once was called sin gets renamed as struggle. What God defined as holy becomes “open to interpretation.” Over time, the truth isn’t just bent, it’s flipped. Eventually, the culture...

in NEED of a REDEEMER

February 2, 2019

No. It’s not Throwback Thursday-- but I found another blog that I wrote a few years ago from prison that was never used and I thought it was worth the read. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man, in his physical state, was not created to be locked up. A human should only spend 9 months at the most in captivity, but even then, we are spiritually dead when we are born into this world—due to sin. If we are automatically born into bondage, shouldn’t we then be used to confinement? Not really, because pride.....

a PRAYER NEVER LOST

February 2, 2019

Sometimes you just have to pray through your nightmare because sometimes, just sometimes, our dreams are swallowed by a pit, a prison, or a pain. I immediately think of Joseph in the Bible. In so many verses it says that “the Lord was with Joseph and he prospered.” Mind you, he was a slave and the Lord’s hand was still with him mightily and obviously. BUT here’s the point: God’s only with a man or woman who is committed to being with God. Again, the Bible confirms, “the LORD is with you.....

I WANNA BURN!

February 2, 2019

The blog heard ‘round the world. No seriously, why can’t I think this way? I mean, why shouldn’t I believe what Jesus Himself has said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12). Jesus gives us the authority to believe...

NEVER lose HOPE

February 2, 2019

I wrote the piece below when I was inmate #314525E. You see, many people view my life now from the vantage point of, “Isn’t he lucky that so many things have worked out for him.” And so, I want to remind you where this piece was penned—in a dark place, often surrounded by lots of shady people and in the vice-grip of a system that is bent on squeezing the worst out of you. And yet because I understood WHO my God was/is---I NEVER lost hope and determined to deal hope to all those who the Lord placed around me---within prison and now outside of prison. So…as you read this piece, ponder the question of whether you are a dealer or a stealer?
