You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
God’s providence is not simply when circumstances work out the way we hoped. He is just as sovereign in the valley as He is on the mountaintop, in the unanswered prayer as He is in the answered one. Faith doesn't require us to understand every circumstance; it trusts the God who stands over every circumstance. “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).
In order to push back the darkness, we must commit ourselves to prayerfulness. You see, the enemy prevails when believers do not exercise their weapons of warfare. And these weapons are not found in our willpower but in God's power. "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood..." (Ephesians 6:12).
Don't allow the lies of the culture around you to silence the truth of Christ within you. "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (I Jonn 4:4).
God is more interested in developing us through our trials than delivering us from our trials. He knows what He's doing, so trust Him and keep going. "Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer" (Romans 12:12).
"In myself, nothing. In Christ, everything" (AW Tozer). Let this be the pulse of our hearts, the reach of our hands, and the worship of our lives. "For in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
The world is only getting darker, yet these are the exact conditions for the Christian to shine brighter. And brighter doesn't mean louder, it means righteously bolder. "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and...
The Word of God is timeless and timely at the same time. It not only transcends culture and doesn't change, but it also has the power to transform souls and bring lasting change. "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul" (Psalm 19:7).
I haven’t stopped thinking about a question that came in during the final minutes of Wednesday night’s question-and-answer service. I recognize that many people have sincere and important questions surrounding this subject, so I wanted to reply with a more organized answer. Someone asked, “Why doesn’t Landmark Church have a deliverance ministry?”
Sometimes you just have to pray through your nightmare because sometimes, just sometimes, our dreams are swallowed by a pit, a prison, or a pain. I immediately think of Joseph in the Bible. In so many verses it says that “the Lord was with Joseph and he prospered.” Mind you, he was a slave and the Lord’s hand was still with him mightily and obviously. BUT here’s the point: God’s only with a man or woman who is committed to being with God. Again, the Bible confirms, “the LORD is with you.....
The blog heard ‘round the world. No seriously, why can’t I think this way? I mean, why shouldn’t I believe what Jesus Himself has said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12). Jesus gives us the authority to believe...
I wrote the piece below when I was inmate #314525E. You see, many people view my life now from the vantage point of, “Isn’t he lucky that so many things have worked out for him.” And so, I want to remind you where this piece was penned—in a dark place, often surrounded by lots of shady people and in the vice-grip of a system that is bent on squeezing the worst out of you. And yet because I understood WHO my God was/is---I NEVER lost hope and determined to deal hope to all those who the Lord placed around me---within prison and now outside of prison. So…as you read this piece, ponder the question of whether you are a dealer or a stealer?
There is so much beauty in vulnerability. Consider the many distressful Psalms in the Bible, penned by King David during moments of fatigue, failure, or frustration. Yet, through the transparency of the hurt comes the clarity of the Healer--and therefore hope and encouragement to all those reading them. Recently, I have had the pleasure of hearing testimonies from some of my students and peers alike. Actually, we were in the middle of breaking down “the Law of His Instrument”, a concept from my book, ‘U MAY B THE ONLY BIBLE SOMEBODY READS’. The “law” states that “surrendering to the grip of grace will hold you up to a higher standard of influence.” Meaning, when we....
