You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Some opportunities don’t come again. Just as Paul sensed winter approaching and called for urgency, when God prompts your heart, act quickly. Delayed obedience can be disobedience in disguise. Discern what season you're in right now and do what the Spirit is leading you to do. “Do your utmost to come before winter" (2 Timothy 4:21).
We pursue what we value. As does God. He pursued us by going to the cross and still pursues us with His grace. This pursuit proves our value to the God of eternity and should not be devalued by our own insecurity. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" (Psalm 23:6).
He who thinks he has rid himself of all pride is never humble enough. You see, pride is poisonous and it can only be subdued by constantly relying on Jesus. "Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor" (Proverbs 18:12).
Our weakness doesn't deter God from using us. In fact, our weakness is the posture that God determines to use. And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I...
A leader without Jesus is called a liar. Because without the Truth in one's heart, one is leading by error. Therefore, in a "follow me" world, be careful who you follow.
God didn't give us His Son when we were lovers but sinners. This means the Gospel is mercy driven not merit based, which should free us from the pressure of working our way into His love and cause us to rest in His love's work.
To feel God's love, that is great. But to know God loves you even when you don't feel it, that is faith. "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (II Corinthians 5:7).
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
Not too many days pass without receiving a message from someone through social media or through my website about a present adversity that they are navigating. Not only is it an honor that they trust me with their plights, but my way of honoring them back is by humbly offering them my personal pain insights. And for the record, you don't learn ministry through a textbook or...
(Book #1 of the Core Conviction Series--Imprisoned by Peace) Where have I been most of my young life thus far? I have been all over the country in my travels with soccer, from childhood as a novice player to adulthood as a professional athlete. I have been to so many great colleges and universities, visiting those campuses either for pleasure or sports-related activities. I have even lived in some beautiful cities in my day. But where have I been while...
Some may call it an epiphany, but I choose to call it a symphony, because these thoughts are music to my soul. I didn’t have to write this blog, I got to. I don't have to wake up and get in the Word, I get to. I don’t have to share my heart as I speak in schools, it’s a blessing to. I don’t have to prepare messages for church...
These thoughts were written in March of 2013 while I was incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility. As I re-read them now all of this time later, I realize they are still appropriate. These thoughts are still the desire of my heart ("that Jesus may increase and I may decrease"): "I just want to be avoided or overlooked by my peers and especially by the...
