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).
Spend time today thanking God for what you have and don't have. If you have it, God gave it. If you don't have it, God knows you don't need it. "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (I Thessalonians 5:18).
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...
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 just recently spoke in Concord, California at the prestigious Every 15 Minutes Program, held at Carondelet High School & De La Salle High School. This impressive program offers experiences that simulate real-life risks involved with drinking and driving, and texting while driving. The mood is somber and includes a mock funeral with caskets, pallbearers, and even a simulated crash scene, enacted the day before, which replays on the big screen. The room is filled with gloom. It is a stellar attempt to show the real life horrific consequences of drinking and driving. However, the show....
Anytime you decide to take a stand in LIFE, you’re going to have critics. Anytime you commit to leading the WAY, you’re going to have cynics. And anytime you unashamedly present the TRUTH, you’re going to have skeptics. What do these “ics” have in common? Well, most of the time, they don’t know the WAY that Jesus went, the TRUTH that Jesus spoke, or the LIFE that Jesus gave. They don’t know HIM; so don’t let their opinion slow you down from being all about HIM. Choose Jesus and you’ll want for nothing. Refuse Jesus and you’ll want everything, but....
Why do I speak out about my tragedy? Not to glamorize the recklessness, but to promote the perspective shift; To instigate integrity and demonstrate accountability. I close every assembly with this parable for the audience to consider: "There was a hiker lost in the wilderness, who happened upon another man, a pioneer, resting his back against a tree. The lost hiker, frantic and anxious, approached the pioneer to ask him if he could help him find his way out. The pioneer replied, "I cannot help you find your way out, that is ultimately up to you. But I can tell you of paths that you certainly should not take. I can tell you of ways that led me nowhere. I can tell you of mud bogs, snakes pits, and briar patches that you must steer clear from. But how to get out, well, that's up to you." The hiker was confused and......
Ever hear a hissing sound and thought nothing of it? I highly doubt it, because it is usually the hissing sound that tells us something is leaking – like a bike tire. Not too major of a problem, but neither is it minor, while still requiring the “hiss” to be plugged up and fixed. Thus, in the bike tire example, the hissing tells us that there’s a hole in the tube, making the slight leak hinder the entire bike’s use. And if you do not address the “hisssssing,” you very well could hurt yourself when using the bike. Further, sometimes the hissing can be even more catastrophic like a gas leak or a pipe fault. And anyone who....
