You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
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).
When believers doubt God's greatness, it only leaves room for the world to doubt God's realness. Thus, let us never stop being amazed at His great grace. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3).
If the goal of Christianity is for God to make us happy, healthy, and wealthy, then somebody forgot to tell the apostles. They all suffered greatly for the cause of Christ and they did so rejoicing greatly about...
Life is in God's hands. Every aspect of it. And that is why the way to peace and purpose is to accept every circumstance as coming straight from the hand of a loving God. "The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble" (Proverbs 16:4).
The main objective of prayer isn't just to get an answer, but rather, it's about spending time in the presence of the Father. "Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!" (1 Chronicles 16:11)
God is not who we think He is. God is who He says He is. And that is why "who He says He is" needs to be who we know Him as. It is in His Word where we come to know Him, and to know Him is to show Him. "But without...
A foundation built on cute platitudes and contrived fables will crumble. The only foundation that will stand the test of time and trial is the one built on Jesus Christ and His Word. "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1).
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...
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
I guess you can call me a mistake, or an accident, or at best a giant surprise-- because my parents didn’t plan on having me. And you might even call me slow or challenged because that’s what the doctor predicted I would probably be. Whatever you call it— I’m here! So herein lies the story: One hot summer day
[Sneak Peek of "When God Had My Back" (Coming Soon)] I was new to the prison yard, being in the building for only few months at this point, but I was no stranger to playing basketball with the brothers. I’m an athlete by nature and though it had been several years since I last won a high school basketball State Championship, I jumped right back into the...
