You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Worry borrows tomorrow’s problems but spends today’s peace. The weight we imagine for the future often crushes our joy in the present. But God doesn’t ask us to carry tomorrow, He invites us to cast every care onto Him today. “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
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).
Our God doesn't just watch over us in our trials, but He actually walks with us through our trials. He's an intimate God who never leaves us nor forsakes us. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because...
"Laying down your life" type of love isn't measured only by supreme sacrifice, but also by simple service. If you see the need, meet the need! "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down...
Not conforming to the world around us isn't about isolation, it's about insulation. In other words, the power of Christ in us is greater than the pressure of the culture around us. "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (I John 4:4).
Don't be surprised when your faithfulness to the Lord brings out the hatefulness of the world. You see, integrity often offends a world in bondage. "Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you" (I John 3:13).
We often pray as the last thing we can do, but God wants us to pray before everything we do. Thus, let us be a people who are committed to going to God first since we are convinced that He always knows best. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).
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...
I am on the road for the next few days with speaking engagements, so I don’t have the time to write a blog. However, I decided to post a blog which I wrote four months after being incarcerated in 2010. It’s interesting to see the purpose that burned in my heart being fulfilled today (THY WILL BE DONE--May 25, 2010): I received a letter the other day that really.....
TERROR STRIKES AGAIN! This headline is all too familiar in our world today, where “high alerts”, terrorist attacks, or mass murders seem, sadly, eerily, too regular. Yet no matter how frequent these terrors have become, we still have a hard time accepting such atrocities. The generations below me don’t know a world without this type of carnage and their responses either numbs them to violence or “dumbs them” to ignorance. Please allow this tweet to explain what I mean when I say “dumbs them”: “Please don’t pray for Paris. Think for Paris. Love for Paris. Laugh for Paris. Have sex for Paris. We’ve had enough religion for one night.” Based on that comment alone, it is clear how terror and evil produces......
I’m talking to the complacent Christian: The pew warmer. The Bible studier, but not doer. Listening not applying. I’m calling out the Christian that “knows” they’re going to heaven from earth, yet have no idea what it’s like to have heaven on earth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: complacency is no place to be. I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve been an idle Christian, which is no different than worshiping an idol disguised by religion. Complacent Christian, who would want the salvation and joy you say you have when there’s no proof that you have what you say you have? Who cares you go to church and an occasional Bible study? Both activities don’t make you Christ --when you leave both....
I’ll be completely honest as I share my initial thoughts during the recent leadership conference I attended. As Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley were up on stage talking about their paths of getting to where God has them currently, I could not help but think about my path, which—not for lack of a better word, but for the only word that fits—has me categorized as an anomaly. The definition of anomaly: A deviation from the common rule....
