You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The devil’s accusations stop where the blood of Jesus starts; and hell’s fury can’t outrun Heaven’s victory. Stay covered by the blood, anchored in the Word, and fearless in your testimony. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Revelation 12:11).
"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).
True Christian love doesn't discriminate regardless of the world's attempt to intimidate. You see, it is God's will to love those who may have an ill will. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your...
Our hurts are real, but our hurts are not greater than God's ability to heal. "Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for You are the one I praise" (Jeremiah17:14).
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...
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
Our performance doesn’t enhance or reduce God’s faithfulness. And with that opening sentence, it is my utmost privilege to report that God is still in the salvaging business despite our idea behind our own personal usefulness. Sarah and I recently participated in a youth event in Pennsylvania where I was the keynote speaker of the night. I’ve done this particular “presentation” before, which requires PowerPoint slides and embedded video; for it is the most structured way to tell my story without getting caught up in certain areas and timelines. Time is always ticking....
