You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Worry borrows tomorrow’s problems but spends today’s peace. The weight we imagine for the future often crushes our joy in the present. But God doesn’t ask us to carry tomorrow, He invites us to cast every care onto Him today. “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
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).
A watered down Bible produces waterlogged people. And that is why we need the water of the Word, not the Word watered down. Therefore, let us drink deeply from it by spending intentional time in it. "You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words" (Psalm 119:57).
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...
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
It’s weird knowing that everyone I was extremely close to in prison is now out—and life goes on for all of us…. Except my friend Sean McGuirk. My BFAM! (Brother From Another Mother). Sean is still incarcerated and has about 22 months left to serve on his 8-year sentence. He has recently been......
How do you silence the critic without coming out of character? It’s easy. Take what they are conjecturing and use it as an opportunity for lecturing. My wedding is less than 3 weeks away, and according to the grapevine consensus -- Sarah and I are.....
