You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we insist on settling scores ourselves, we carry a weight God never intended us to bear. Scripture shows that evil doesn’t need our help to fail, it collapses when exposed to God’s light. Releasing the outcome to the Lord guards our hearts from bitterness and keeps us aligned with His righteousness. True strength is trusting God to handle what we cannot. “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14).
You can pout your way through your day or you can praise & pray your way through your day, but you can't do both. To rejoice is a choice! "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18).
Faith that is kept private is a faith that is kept quiet. Conversely, faith that grows diligently in private will be faith that shows vibrantly in public. "The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith!'” (Luke 17:5)
Where we set our mind will determine what we do with our time. "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Col. 3:2).
The world is not going to come to Church to find Jesus. And that's why the Church needs to go to the world with Jesus. You see, salt is only effective when it engages with that which it intends to influence. “You are the salt of the earth." --Jesus
Following God's will may not be the easiest, but it is always the best for us. God's will is for His glory and our good; And "our good" doesn't mean we will be happy, healthy, or wealthy, but rather we would be holy. Again, God's will for us...
Those who speak frequently to God are those who speak freely about God. Thus, let us increase our time spent with God so that we can readily unleash our tongue for God. "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and...
In the days following Charlie Kirk’s murder, something unexpected happened and the world witnessed it: people returned to church, conversations turned to repentance, and Christ was openly exalted. But whenever God begins to move, the enemy seeks to interrupt the work with confusion and accusation. Jesus told us plainly that Satan is “the father...
The human body is a resilient instrument and can sustain a substantial amount of trauma. But, one of the most vulnerable organs is the heart--if it takes an intense hit-- the likelihood that the body will shut down is imminent. And that is what is known as a heart attack, where an inadequate supply of oxygen causes an area of the heart muscle to die, radiating and destroying other parts of the body. And while a physical heart attack can be fatal, quite the opposite occurs when the heart of God (His people) are attacked--it then proves to be resilient and full of mercy. God’s blood drips forgiveness as exhibited by the victims of those connected to the recent cold blood......
(continued from previous iBLOG—"Up On Stage") ….After thanking the appropriate parties for the invitation to be at the graduation ceremony, I transitioned to the reason I was requested to deliver the keynote in the first place; To remind the graduates how every decision they will make from this point forward will determine their destinies. So I thought, what would I tell the senior graduating version of myself? Hmmm, if I could go back and tell myself 5 of the most consequential truths that I have learned through my journey of transitions, what would I share? All of which came to light in my heart and mind in the darkness of prison. All of which were learned through trouble. But trouble that God trusted me with. Graduates…..
Truly it was a great honor to be invited--by the graduating seniors and the Administration of Atlantic Christian School--to be their 2015 commencement speaker. As I took the stage, I knew there were probably a lot of people who were wondering who I was and why was I up on stage with the honorary participants of the night. So I begin, “And in case you are wondering ‘who I am’ and ‘why am I up here?’ Well, please allow me to join you in that question….(dramatic pause)….but please also allow me to humbly propose to you, the answer: But by.....
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
