You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The Gospel doesn’t just make bad people behave. It makes dead people live. This isn’t a self-help message, it’s a resurrection miracle. Christ didn’t come to improve us; He came to indwell us. “Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ…” (Ephesians 2:5).
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...
Comparative Analysis: Christianity vs. Islam Revelation and Textual Integrity: The Bible vs. The Quran • Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from the angel Gabriel for about 23 years, starting in 609 AD. The result was a sea of contradictions...
I was recently “tweeted at” from 2 different students. Not only 2 different students, but students from 2 different schools. And not only 2 different schools; but 2 different climates that defined the culture in each of those schools. You see, upon entering the one school I was personally greeted by the Superintendent, who sat with me for 30 minutes “shooting the breeze,” and even encouraged me to keep speaking out (though he had not heard the message yet). At the other school, I wasn’t met or greeted by anyone on staff. I was actually ignored until I asked if I could find my way to the auditorium to set up. And one thing I’ve learned from doing this on a daily basis is that the culture of any school starts at the top and flows downward....
Love is relational, not relative. It ought not depend on circumstances or the right “stars aligning.” No! Love is the highest divine emotion that can be expressed in life, not just lip. What I’m about to say next may be pointed, but I’m speaking to myself from past “love” exchanges. Love that is not channeled from the source of pure love is in fact perverted love. We may think we are loving accurately, but if you begin at the wrong location initially, every point after that will be off positionally and diverted.....
It is not my desire for people to hear or see me; it is my earnest prayer that wherever I am called to speak, that the audience would SOLELY hear and see Jesus in me. I am nothing more than a broken man just following Gods perfect plan. And He never ceases to amaze me with His grace. Now, I'm not talking about the definition of grace--unmerited favor--but I am talking about the personification of Grace-- Jesus my Savior. We aren't just "sinners saved by grace." No way! How dare we cheapen....
Sarah and I are getting ready to depart for Norfolk, Nebraska. If you could hear me, I would say that with the finest Mid-West accent I could muster up. I know a little about the Mid-West since I traveled into that area several times during my pro soccer playing days. However, this time we are going there to lead a youth rally. Sarah’s friends are the youth leaders and they graciously extended the invite. Needless to say, it’s an honor to be “called” to other states to do God’s work. In the words of Jesus, “I must....
