You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
There is nothing too dirty that God cannot wash with His mercy. And not only does His grace sanitize the shame in the soul, but His love stabilizes the hurt in the heart. "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5).
To behold the love of God is to be held by the love of God. Because when we lift up our eyes, we allow Him to lift the burdens from our lives. "I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:1-2).
Worldly love says "do what feels good." But godly love says "do good regardless of how it feels." And to be clear, "doing good" is more than just benevolence, it is also living by holiness. "He has shown you, O man, what is...
Instead of holding our sin against us, the Father holds His Son out to us. It makes no sense considering we deserve to remain lost, yet God still chooses to find us with His love. "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" (1 John 3:1)
Living for the approval of man will not only trip you up, but it will trap you in. You see, we cannot walk securely if we are always fearing man because of our own insecurities. The answer: Look to God for your purpose and...
True faith is not needing to trace God's hand because you have learned to trust God's heart. And no matter the trial that is in front of you, true faith knows that God is always working good for you. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
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...
(ThrowBack to Prison) I’ve met so many Killa’s along the way so far on this prison journey. Actually, let me elaborate on that statement. I have met so many inmates with the nick-names of Killa thus far. Killa C. Killa B. And every other letter attached to the word ‘kill’ with the replacement of ‘a’ instead of the proper ‘er’ ending. Then there are the countless Murda’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Murda, not murder, but Murda G and even a G-Murder. There’s been one Trauma and several....
Accountability always unlocks opportunities. And when God gives you a vision, He always confirms it with His provision. So as long as I govern my #iCONVICTION with the Lord’s leadership, then I will always be following “goodness and mercy”—or they will be following me! On that note, I was invited to speak at Coastal Christian Ocean City tonight--the 22nd--at 7 PM. I will be teaching from one of the most quoted Psalms in the Bible, yep you guessed it, Psalm 23. With a message that is intertwined with my testimony, come join us as we see if we know this Psalm by just “memory or intimacy?” Can we only verbally quote this Psalm or....
The everyday pressures I face, when compared to my former pressures, is the difference between a hurricane and a light rain. An umbrella adequately covers one; but there are limited safety precautions for the other. Prison pressure was a hurricane, making life’s current pressure nothing but a light rain. I was in an earthly form of hell for over 4 and 1/2 years, yet I emerged....
In honor of my mother’s newly released book “SLAMMED,” and it’s emphasis on faith in God in the midst of a storm, I would like to share an abbreviated version of the words spoken at my brother John’s funeral -- nine years ago-- on behalf of my mother by her friend. (It’s worth the longer read!)-------- An amazing thing happened three decades ago in Bayside Village. There in the spring of 1978, John and Cherri Olsen—that’s my husband and me and our baby son John moved into the barn-style house at 110 Oakdale Ave. directly across the street from the barn-style house at 109 Oakdale Ave, where John and Andrea Maher lived with their baby son, John. And I noticed right away that their house was......
