You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
What feels uncontrolled to us is never uncontrolled by God. Evil may be permitted for a season, but it is never sovereign; God determines its reach and its expiration. Whatever you are facing today, remember that it can go only as far and last only as long as God allows. “The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all” (Psalm 103:19).
Persecution is useful, for it awakens the faithful. "Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the...
Those who think most of heaven will do most for earth. And I am not talking about altruism, I'm talking about evangelism--sharing the Gospel and saving people. Nothing will make us more useful than this, knowing life is but a...
Spiritual apathy is a symptom of biblical illiteracy. And we cannot be enthusiastic about the things of God if we do not know the Word of God. You see, it is in the Word of God where we are thoroughly equipped to do the work of God to..
Our Nation needs more Christians filled with the Gospel, not more churches filled with carnal people. You see, only the love of Christ can cure any ill and heal any soul. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is...
The further a society strays from truth, the more it will hate those who stand for truth. And even when the world is against you in every way, speak the truth anyway. “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you" (John 15:18).
Even if a dry and thirsty desert surrounds you, when with Jesus, you will always have living waters within you. His presence brings sustenance. "O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1).
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?”
(continued from previous iBLOG—"Up On Stage") ….After thanking the appropriate parties for the invitation to be at the graduation ceremony, I transitioned to the reason I was requested to deliver the keynote in the first place; To remind the graduates how every decision they will make from this point forward will determine their destinies. So I thought, what would I tell the senior graduating version of myself? Hmmm, if I could go back and tell myself 5 of the most consequential truths that I have learned through my journey of transitions, what would I share? All of which came to light in my heart and mind in the darkness of prison. All of which were learned through trouble. But trouble that God trusted me with. Graduates…..
Truly it was a great honor to be invited--by the graduating seniors and the Administration of Atlantic Christian School--to be their 2015 commencement speaker. As I took the stage, I knew there were probably a lot of people who were wondering who I was and why was I up on stage with the honorary participants of the night. So I begin, “And in case you are wondering ‘who I am’ and ‘why am I up here?’ Well, please allow me to join you in that question….(dramatic pause)….but please also allow me to humbly propose to you, the answer: But by.....
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
Alright, alright, I hear all the buzz. We praise strength and those willing to go to great lengths to “be true to themselves.” But quite frankly, I don’t have enough time to “keep up with the Kardashians” or this worlds crazy shenanigans. I will say this however--I do think the “Caitlin Jenner” transition is mind boggling; but I am in no position to judge another persons journey. Besides, Jesus loves him just as much as He loves ALL. There is not a single individual that can escape the Savior’s Love, for He died for the world. So let’s get that straight. Having said that, I must add that when we pursue a path, we must be careful not to miss the boat, because we are not the “captains” of...
