You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
A new year doesn’t automatically bring new life or new circumstances. It only turns a page on the calendar. The calendar turns whether we do or not, but God calls us to turn over our hearts to Him day by day. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).
God isn't trying to fix the broken systems of the world. His desire is to fix the broken souls in this world. And it's through the Gospel of His Son that this is done. "Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as...
The Bible says to "trust in the Lord with all your heart" because He is trustworthy. Yet too many are trusting their own heart as lord, which leads to folly. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
As Christians, we are to expect hate from the world, not for being weird, but for being about the Word. Jesus said, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you" (John 15:18).
What binds Christians together is not social, political, or racial compatibility, but rather spiritual compatibility. You see, the tie that binds is the cross and that is why true unity can only be found in Christ. "There is one...
A spiritual liar is often outwardly religious but inwardly ravenous. They will sell you a bill of goods, but they won't give you the will of God. Be watchful! “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but...
Religion says, "Do." Jesus says, "Done." Religion says, "Continue." Jesus says, "Come." Because the work was DONE by Him, we can find rest when we COME to Him.
In the days following Charlie Kirk’s murder, something unexpected happened and the world witnessed it: people returned to church, conversations turned to repentance, and Christ was openly exalted. But whenever God begins to move, the enemy seeks to interrupt the work with confusion and accusation. Jesus told us plainly that Satan is “the father...
I’ll be completely honest as I share my initial thoughts during the recent leadership conference I attended. As Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley were up on stage talking about their paths of getting to where God has them currently, I could not help but think about my path, which—not for lack of a better word, but for the only word that fits—has me categorized as an anomaly. The definition of anomaly: A deviation from the common rule....
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
