You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we lose our desperation for the Lord, we lose our dependence, because self-sufficiency always replaces surrender. Desperation isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s the birthplace of deeper trust. David cried out, not because God couldn’t hear, but because his soul couldn’t...
Let this be a reminder: It's not our righteous acts that attach us to Christ. It's our attachment to Christ that produces righteous acts.
Our reliance and dependence upon God must begin fresh and anew each day, because yesterday's devotions are not enough to carry us through today's challenges. Therefore, let us pray, "Give us this day our daily bread"--the bread of life--which is Jesus Christ.
Nothing in this world can change our relation to sin unless we become "born again." Because to choose Christ as the King of your soul is to dethrone sin from being in control. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." --Jesus
The Bible says to "cast your cares," not carry them (1 Peter 5:7). Why? Because God not only cares for us, but He also knows what anxiety can do to us. Thus, what are you holding onto that you need to give to God because He cares for you?
Our root determines our fruit, which lends the question--are we rooted in the Son or in sin? One way produces liberty, while the other way produces slavery. "Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits...
Jesus wasn't just a godly man, but He was actually God who became Man. And because of this divine empathy, you can trust Him with your weakness and frailty. "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize...
Comparative Analysis: Christianity vs. Islam Revelation and Textual Integrity: The Bible vs. The Quran • Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from the angel Gabriel for about 23 years, starting in 609 AD. The result was a sea of contradictions...
Being out of prison for this long, you'd probably think that I wouldn't still be in contact with so many jail-birds. No, not my former peers! I’m referring to my new friends at the seashore--seagulls. You see, seagulls were a common sight in the big yard and by watching them, I found some interesting parallels...
It is quite easy to be discontent with the place where God has placed you. Actually, it is because we lose sight of God's grace that we fight the place where God has chosen to plant us. But when we recognize that we are right where we need to be--which means we are surrendered to God's will--we become trees of righteousness, planted by the Lord for His glory through...
[Admin Note: This is a journal entry from Matthew's time in prison, recorded on October 16th, 2010] I failed terribly today, and I have to admit, it was well worth it. I tend to suffer most in the recovery following these moments of failure, but trust that the more I suffer, the more I will eventually have to offer others. Please allow me to explain: I allowed a trivial incident to steal my peace today and I learned a valuable lesson in the process: I can only be
Life is like a photo and how you live is the picture that is displayed. Some live for the selfie--to be the main focus--while others live in light of the picture frame, which represents the love of Jesus. Track with me please: Because if the picture frame is the love of Jesus, then the reason to change holds us. It surrounds us. It completely and irreversibly captures us. And like a snap shot, this picture frame deserves a second look. A studied look. Yet too many people only focus on the picture in the frame, completely missing....
