You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
If we don't see God as faithful, we'll never see suffering as useful. You see, to trust God as always good in His doings is to not need to know what He's doing to know it's for our good. "And we know all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28).
Our confidence in a trying circumstance needs to be based on the right deliverance. And the right deliverance isn't always about God getting us out of trouble, but more so about God getting the trouble out of us. "I sought the LORD and He delivered me from all my fears" (Psalm 34:4).
Salvation isn’t about “just accepting" Jesus. Salvation is about realizing Jesus accepts you and makes you just. Big difference. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23-24).
The government will not elect the gospel and schools do not respect the gospel. The courts no longer protect the gospel and the world at large rejects the gospel. Yet by God's grace alone, salvation goes to anyone...
Is your thinking formed by culture or Scripture? Truth or error? One way not only conforms to the world, but it also makes compromises with sin; while the other way is transformed by the Lord and knows the promises of the Son.
Today, let us be humbled by the love of Christ who freely gave us His life. You see, He chose not to evade the cross but to endure the cross. Let us therefore, "look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...
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...
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......
It’s weird knowing that everyone I was extremely close to in prison is now out—and life goes on for all of us…. Except my friend Sean McGuirk. My BFAM! (Brother From Another Mother). Sean is still incarcerated and has about 22 months left to serve on his 8-year sentence. He has recently been......
How do you silence the critic without coming out of character? It’s easy. Take what they are conjecturing and use it as an opportunity for lecturing. My wedding is less than 3 weeks away, and according to the grapevine consensus -- Sarah and I are.....
