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).
Christ does not ask us to clean our lives up, He invites us to lay our lives down. Huge difference. One way is based on our work, while the other way is based on His work. "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me and for the Gospel will save it" (Mark 8:35).
The gospel proclaims the truth that death didn't take Jesus but Jesus took death. And in Him alone, because death died, we are forever alive. Rejoice. "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he...
The world says, "Speak your truth." But there's no such thing as "my truth or your truth," there is just God's truth. Therefore, let us singularly seek and passionately speak God's truth, for there is no other power that...
The Church is heaven's witness on earth. And even if hell is closing in on all sides, heaven still arrives when the people of God choose courage over compromise. "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Jesus Christ).
The Church is never called to popularity. The Church is called to integrity: to preach Christ crucified and repentance regardless of feelings and relevance. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own...
Trust the Lord with your circumstances and then rest knowing He controls the consequences. In other words, obey God and leave the outcome to Him. "Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to Him" (Psalm 128:1).
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?”
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
I guess you can call me a mistake, or an accident, or at best a giant surprise-- because my parents didn’t plan on having me. And you might even call me slow or challenged because that’s what the doctor predicted I would probably be. Whatever you call it— I’m here! So herein lies the story: One hot summer day
[Sneak Peek of "When God Had My Back" (Coming Soon)] I was new to the prison yard, being in the building for only few months at this point, but I was no stranger to playing basketball with the brothers. I’m an athlete by nature and though it had been several years since I last won a high school basketball State Championship, I jumped right back into the...
