You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
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).
God made us on purpose for a purpose. "On purpose" because He doesn't make mistakes and "for a purpose" because He wants our lives to highlight His great grace. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10).
The Gospel of Christ confronts us before it converts us. You see, if the flesh is not put to death, the spirit cannot walk in newness of life. "And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" (Galatians 5:24).
A heart that is set upon the joy of heaven cannot be beset by the sorrow of earth. Oh sorrows will happen, but the joy of the Lord is our weapon. "Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10).
Stop trying to pray away the very trial God has sent your way. Instead, ask God to have His way within the trial by making you more like Him through the trial. "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing...
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...
It’s hard to write these days….. probably because it’s easier to see right these days. I mean compared to all the wrong that I used to write about because it was easier to find at least one hard lesson a day, when I was working my thoughts out. Today there is less pressure pressing and less chaos confessing. You see, all the turmoil use to speak clearly to me, and I......
Things may not add up right now in your life, but do not lose heart. Sometimes the events of life aren’t exactly what we intended or prayed for, and it is in that misunderstanding that we lose hope and faith. Sometimes an event blind sides us to the point of paralysis, where mind, body and spirit are held captive by the pain and shock of what we just experienced. If that sounds like where you are at right now, consider Mary’s experience. Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, must have lost....
(Excerpt from "Once Upon a Time in Paradise".....Coming Soon!) "Comparability" I wonder what the “match results” would be if you put, “I need a helper comparable to me,” as an answer to one of the questions on an online dating service website? Would it be able to match you with your suitor? Maybe actually, ha! So why can’t we trust God—the Ultimate Matchmaker—if we are willing to trust a computer for our suitor? I am not discrediting anyone who has used such services, because God will use any avenue to bring people together, but I want to make it clear that if you don’t invite Him into your “search,” how can you be sure that these exterior avenues will find you a helper comparable to you? It is God who said of Adam, “I will make him a helper comparable to him” (Genesis 2:18); thus, I don’t have to google search “a helper comparable to me” and....
My eyes are running heavy, but that’s ok as long as the mind isn’t running heavy. And the mind can carry such a wild load of items. From past, present, and future, the minds workload can carry weights never intended to be weighed by the brain. We think about matters of the past that we cannot change. We dwell upon moments of the present that make us deranged. We imagine memories of the future that are not yet arranged. And every train of thought crashes upon our soul without a battle fought. The vacillating mind takes us into every place except....
