You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we chase the wind, we end up empty. When we chase the Word, we end up full. The world offers noise; Christ offers nourishment. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
One of the main spiritual muscles we develop when we work out our salvation is a heart that loves through action. To reach down and lift someone else up is the greatest exercise for the strengthening of the heart. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12).
We can have confidence toward God because God opened up His presence toward us through the sacrifice of Jesus. Let us come boldly then, not based on our own merit, but soley based on His mercy. "Let us therefore...
God knows everything about us and still loves us. In fact, He see's us at our worst and still loves us with His best. This makes no sense, yet this is what makes up God's grace.
It's impossible to do life for Jesus without doing life with Jesus. Doing life "for Jesus" may keep your weeks full, but doing life "with Jesus" brings fulfillment to your week. "Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
The clearest statement of faith everyone publishes is their own example. And while our words may convict, it is our conduct that convinces. In other words, you may be the only Bible somebody reads. Are you legible for the Lord? “Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
When we justify our own woundedness, which is often an excuse to sit in our brokenness, chances are we're not focusing on God's faithfulness. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3).
On Labor Day weekend, I’ll begin a new teaching series at Landmark Church titled “The Last Revelation: Countdown To The Kingdom.” For the past several months, I’ve been studying, praying, and seeking the Lord in preparation for what He desires to...
--journal, March 2010, from prison-- How can we ever possibly think this life is hard compared to what Jesus went through? Fully God and fully human. He felt everything we feel, yet lived without sin. Jesus left his home in heaven to live on earth. He experienced the eternal pleasures of His kingdom, yet he decided to take on the discomfort of our slums, for what? For God so loved the world (John 3:16). And all we have to do is believe in Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. He already did the hard stuff. Born human, but all God. Sinless, but among sinners; deserving of constant praise and adoration, but received insults and blaspheming tongues; could have ascended.....
I cannot be hesitant to lend my opinion to the current cultural discussion that is taking place via media sources. My faith calls me to do so—and I hope when I speak that I always speak with the love of Christ. I try to keep it real-- my “Volume Up” videos hold nothing back. My past blogs never stuttered when it came to presenting truth. So considering the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the institution of marriage, I biblically, practically, and mathematically have a response. You see, the hashtag used to celebrate this monumental law change, #LoveWins, makes me ask the question: Does love really win? Ok, I get it. Man’s personal application of love seemingly won, but....
The weather has been pretty suspicious lately rapidly moving from random and sporadic thunderstorms to hail falling from the sky to tornadoes touching down. Sometimes the weather forecast seems to be inconsistent, yet most of the time, we are still able to discern what’s coming by way of satellites and maps. And that reminds me of the words of Jesus as He rebukes the religious folk for asking for a sign from heaven. He sharply says, “Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3). So how is it we can discern the face of the sky, but not discern....
The human body is a resilient instrument and can sustain a substantial amount of trauma. But, one of the most vulnerable organs is the heart--if it takes an intense hit-- the likelihood that the body will shut down is imminent. And that is what is known as a heart attack, where an inadequate supply of oxygen causes an area of the heart muscle to die, radiating and destroying other parts of the body. And while a physical heart attack can be fatal, quite the opposite occurs when the heart of God (His people) are attacked--it then proves to be resilient and full of mercy. God’s blood drips forgiveness as exhibited by the victims of those connected to the recent cold blood......
