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?”
You never really know how much someone is hurting. It’s impossible to see what is happening on the inside because it is human nature to create defensive dams on the outside to keep our intensive tears from breaking through like a faulty floodgate. Sometimes you can sense pent-up pain, but you can’t feel it compassionately unless you are allowed to touch it, and like a raw nerve that is exposed, it must be diagnosed and treated before one can get a sense.......
My sentencing day January 7th, 2010, came fast. Each day leading up to it was like the rushing sands in an hour glass pouring non-stop reminders that soon it would be empty and reckoning day was near; time flew by from Thanksgiving spilling right into Christmas. The holidays, with all their promise of hope and glad tidings, seemed mechanical and surreal. I felt detached; indifferent. The warm and fuzzy reminders of past family gatherings only added to the strain of going through the motions, putting on a face of hope, when all real enchantment was gone. In addition, this time of the year always brought to our remembrance the life of my brother who passed away....
The following was written to my parents three weeks after my accident on April 1, 2009. My mother recently found it in a pile of notes in her old Bible. Considering I just got done teaching “You Are What You Keep,” Part 2 of our series Unbreakable ReSOULutions at my church, I am in awe of what the Holy Spirit guided me to write--that many years ago. This is just a portion of the three-page letter: Dad and Mom: So where do I begin? My mind races every moment of the day and I still....
Have you ever heard the term “Swan Song?” It refers to the ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song in the moment just before death, having been silent or not so musical during most of their lifetime. Stemmed from Greek mythology, I find there is some metaphorical truth to this. It is often in our darkest moments that we have a decision to make regarding....
