You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
If God has redeemed you, don’t stay silent. Your story matters, not because it’s perfect, but because it points to a perfect Redeemer. Redemption is meant to be declared. So today, remember His rescue and let your words reflect His goodness. You’ve been redeemed. Say so. "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble" (Psalm 107:2).
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...
God will never allow a burden to be placed upon you without placing His arms beneath you. In other words, God supplies the grace to lift every weight. "And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (II Corinthians 12:9).
Prayer isn't "name it, claim it." Prayer is knowing that if you claim His will, by His name He will. In other words, He will according to His Word, not ours!
God's faithfulness should be the frame of reference of our prayerfulness. In other words, knowing God's heart should shape the prayers of our heart. "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (I John 5:14).
Evil rarely shows up all at once, it slides in slowly. It often begins with a small compromise, a quiet exception to God’s clear standard. What once was called sin gets renamed as struggle. What God defined as holy becomes “open to interpretation.” Over time, the truth isn’t just bent, it’s flipped. Eventually, the culture...
We are officially home from our vacation time, but I have to admit that I have not left behind my “vacation mind.” What’s a vacation mind? It’s a state of mind that unwinds so that the peace of God may enter in. It’s a mind that rewinds to reflect and keeps God at the center. It’s a mind that finds its vacation in Christ without needing to escape from the everyday responsibilities of life. You see, this vacation didn’t help me get away, it actually reminded me to stay close. The time I spent in the Sunshine State reminded me of the shine that can only be found when you take time to “lay out” in the present state of....
It's true, you never really know what you've got until it's gone. But also, in some situations, it takes being gone to realize what you've got. Being back in Florida with my family for the first time in 6 years has taught me a humbling lesson about the void that I left my parents with since I've been gone. Other family members, who are here with us now, (and were here in years past) have told me privately how both my mother and my father have a different type of vacation relief this time around. You see, it's as if--for the past 5 Florida trips--they've left behind a "peace" of luggage that was locked up and....
You really can't walk a few feet in Disney World without seeing people taking photographs. Most of those photo op's involve posing in front of a scenic background or vibrant foreground. Whether it's a giant castle behind you or Minnie Mouse next to you, there is just something "magical" about capturing the moment....or is it more about capturing our own likeness? I'm sorry, this is just how my mind works these days! Perhaps we love seeing ourselves in a picture because deep down inside we are reminiscing about that which is eternal. Perhaps it's not the external image that we are.....
Let's just say I couldn't see this day six years ago.....though, while I was "there", I imagined it every year that my family was here. And it is the imagination that can often be a preview of coming attractions. Anyway, last time I was in Florida was 6 years ago--post-tragedy and pre-prison. And as Magic Kingdom was an amusement option during that time with my family--please understand--it wasn't ALL "Disney" for me....In fact, I would soon be....
