You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The only way higher is to go lower—in humility. The only way straight is to lean into what is right—in God’s sight. There is no other way to truly live this life but to die to self and be found in Christ. God’s ways are often paradoxical: we lose to gain, surrender to overcome, and die to truly live. That’s why we can’t rely on what our eyes can see—but on what our faith can believe. “For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Nothing can make you lose your hunger for the things of the world except for the taste of God's amazing grace. "Taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8) and your appetite for the world will diminish.
God not only meticulously counts your hairs and compassionately keeps your tears, but He also wildly pursues your heart. He is madly in love with you, and since He decided to sacrificially die for...
Sadly, not everybody that's with you is actually for you. Nonetheless, keep in mind, "if God is for you, who can be against you?" (Romans 8:31)
God removed our sins from us by bearing our sins for us. And b/c He bore our sins on the cross, we no longer have to bury our sins in our heart. "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12).
Before we speak to someone about their sin, we need to speak to God about them. Thus, let us be those who intercede in prayer before we interrupt in person. "If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which...
For the believer, prayer is not optional, it is essential. If we are not praying, we are not growing. You see, we pray, not so we can direct God, but so that God can direct us. "Whether you turn to the right or to the...
Many are reacting to the recent exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, but the real issue isn’t politics, it’s perspective. More specifically, it’s a lack of biblical perspective. Despite their influence, both men reveal a limited grasp of Scripture. Tucker views everything through an America-first lens, opposing any foreign policy...
Ever heard the saying, “I’m not perfect.” I hope so, because if you’re human than you probably used it. But that’s not the excuse I’m offering today. Not when you know the root of such a saying can be an excuse for the absence of accountability. Please allow me to explain. When I was in prison, we ran a Bible study on my tier. This fellowship time was not only the pulse of the housing unit, but it was also the bulls- eye of those who didn’t attend. Many would sit on the outskirts listening, curious about the mechanisms of a Bible study. Some would sit secluded in their areas ignoring the content being shared, but still aware of.....
--journal, March 2010, from prison-- How can we ever possibly think this life is hard compared to what Jesus went through? Fully God and fully human. He felt everything we feel, yet lived without sin. Jesus left his home in heaven to live on earth. He experienced the eternal pleasures of His kingdom, yet he decided to take on the discomfort of our slums, for what? For God so loved the world (John 3:16). And all we have to do is believe in Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. He already did the hard stuff. Born human, but all God. Sinless, but among sinners; deserving of constant praise and adoration, but received insults and blaspheming tongues; could have ascended.....
I cannot be hesitant to lend my opinion to the current cultural discussion that is taking place via media sources. My faith calls me to do so—and I hope when I speak that I always speak with the love of Christ. I try to keep it real-- my “Volume Up” videos hold nothing back. My past blogs never stuttered when it came to presenting truth. So considering the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the institution of marriage, I biblically, practically, and mathematically have a response. You see, the hashtag used to celebrate this monumental law change, #LoveWins, makes me ask the question: Does love really win? Ok, I get it. Man’s personal application of love seemingly won, but....
The weather has been pretty suspicious lately rapidly moving from random and sporadic thunderstorms to hail falling from the sky to tornadoes touching down. Sometimes the weather forecast seems to be inconsistent, yet most of the time, we are still able to discern what’s coming by way of satellites and maps. And that reminds me of the words of Jesus as He rebukes the religious folk for asking for a sign from heaven. He sharply says, “Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3). So how is it we can discern the face of the sky, but not discern....
