You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When you stand for truth, don’t be surprised when you’re thrown into the fire. But it’s in the furnace that God proves He’s with you. He honors conviction over compromise, even when the crowd walks away. So don’t flinch, He’s worth it. “But if not, let it be known… that we do not serve your gods” (Daniel 3:18).
The Christian will do most for the world when the Christian is least like the world. So instead of conforming to the culture around us, let us transform the culture because of Christ within us. "And do not be conformed to this world, but be...
To behold the love of Jesus Christ is to allow its power to both expel the soul's darkness and compel the soul to righteousness. "For the love of Christ compels us..." (II Corinthians 5:14).
What the world calls work, the believer can call worship. In other words, no matter how mundane the work may be, when we do it unto the Lord, it becomes a mountain of worship. "And whatever you do, whether in word...
We will never have a grip on the things of God if we cannot loosen our grip from the things of this world. You see, the fuller our hands are from the lusts around us, the emptier our heart is of the love of Jesus. "Do not love the world or...
In the pursuit of being a deep theologian, so many completely miss the simplicity of just being a Christian. You see, it’s not about how much we may know intellectually, but how well we show what we know truthfully and lovingly. This means we are called to lovingly speak out truth and to truthfully live out love.
What makes the love of Christ so powerful is how He chooses to share His love with the pitiful--that's me and you. In other words, His love is so pure and perfect, and to come to the realization that He shares it with...
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
In two days I will be married. Or as our Instagram hashtag creatively expresses it, #letsgetMAHERied. There has been so much planning in such a short period of time (six weeks). From the day we set the date of November 8th, the favor from God has been overwhelming. (And thankfully we have our parents, siblings and other extended family members who have worked tirelessly for this day; ALL FORMS of FAVOR). One of the initial obstacles was finding a church large enough to hold our guest list. Thankfully a long time friend and Pastor......
Man, heck with “likes,” I’m trying to save lives! And NO, I'm not the Messiah. I'm just a wick that Jesus has set on fire! No disrespect to anyone who has ever “liked” my pics or points, but when do we make what we “like” online the very manifestation of what we are like outside: Outside the screen, whether it be our cell phone or our computer at home. I’m tired of being reduced to a “like” on my Facebook wall. If you don’t believe it.....
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
