You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The certainty that we will one day meet the King should shape the way we presently walk on earth. His return is not merely a future event to anticipate, but a present reality that calls us to holiness, faithfulness, and urgency. Those who are ready to meet Christ should live ready to represent Christ. “And so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Nothing in this world can take your life until God permits. And nothing in this world can preserve your life unless God permits. Thus, let us learn to trust what God permits and let us find rest in knowing nothing can happen without His permission. "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein" (Psalm 24:1).
Hope in Christ. For all other people and places are hopeless. And when our hope is in Christ alone, we come to know this world is not our home. "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
Worldly people will always be compliant with the ways of the world. Conversely, godly people will always be obedient to the ways of God. Thus, let us choose this day who we will obey! Obedience over compliance. "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).
Those who behold heaven will be held by heaven. You see, when the mind is set on things above, the mind becomes settled by the King above. "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Colossians 3:2).
The answer to every prayer is "God's will be done." In other words, if you believe His will is always best, then it's easy to trust that He will answer your request. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
Seasons change, but God remains the same. People may be inconsistent, but God remains constant. He is the never-changing God in an ever-changing world. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).
I haven’t stopped thinking about a question that came in during the final minutes of Wednesday night’s question-and-answer service. I recognize that many people have sincere and important questions surrounding this subject, so I wanted to reply with a more organized answer. Someone asked, “Why doesn’t Landmark Church have a deliverance ministry?”
Some may call it an epiphany, but I choose to call it a symphony, because these thoughts are music to my soul. I didn’t have to write this blog, I got to. I don't have to wake up and get in the Word, I get to. I don’t have to share my heart as I speak in schools, it’s a blessing to. I don’t have to prepare messages for church...
These thoughts were written in March of 2013 while I was incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility. As I re-read them now all of this time later, I realize they are still appropriate. These thoughts are still the desire of my heart ("that Jesus may increase and I may decrease"): "I just want to be avoided or overlooked by my peers and especially by the...
I always try to write out of a storehouse of my own experiences and feelings. I mean, when I present hope as being the anchor of the soul through a struggle, I'm not just throwing out a platitude. I’m doing so from having lived through the paralyzing feel of struggle. Many struggles. However I have learned that hope is a handle, that allow...
I strike several keys on my word processor, stringing unrelatable words together, and then I pause. Backspace. Backspace. I hold down the backspace key until the screen is blank again. If the machine could speak it would say, “STOP PUSHING BUTTONS!” Not yet! Because I cannot rest until...
