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).
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...
Those who make a claim on Christ without their conduct following Christ are actually counterfeiting Christ. And conversely, to truly know Him is to truly show Him. "Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ" (Philippians 1:27).
Loving one another is an essential mark of a true Christian. Without love for our neighbor, one cannot claim to have the love of the Savior. "Jesus said, 'You shall love the Lord your God...And you shall love your neighbor as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-40).
We shouldn't ask God to put His hand on our plans. We should ask God to direct our hands so as to be able to carry out His plans. "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails" (Proverbs 19:21).
When it is all said and done, nothing will matter except for what we did "in the Lord" and "for the Lord." Thus, let us not lose sight of Jesus as we do all things for His purpose. "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen" (Romans 11:36).
The comfort that we have from the Word of God is not that it promises us freedom from trials, but that it promises us freedom through trials. "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts" (Psalm 119:45).
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...
I just recently spoke in Concord, California at the prestigious Every 15 Minutes Program, held at Carondelet High School & De La Salle High School. This impressive program offers experiences that simulate real-life risks involved with drinking and driving, and texting while driving. The mood is somber and includes a mock funeral with caskets, pallbearers, and even a simulated crash scene, enacted the day before, which replays on the big screen. The room is filled with gloom. It is a stellar attempt to show the real life horrific consequences of drinking and driving. However, the show....
Anytime you decide to take a stand in LIFE, you’re going to have critics. Anytime you commit to leading the WAY, you’re going to have cynics. And anytime you unashamedly present the TRUTH, you’re going to have skeptics. What do these “ics” have in common? Well, most of the time, they don’t know the WAY that Jesus went, the TRUTH that Jesus spoke, or the LIFE that Jesus gave. They don’t know HIM; so don’t let their opinion slow you down from being all about HIM. Choose Jesus and you’ll want for nothing. Refuse Jesus and you’ll want everything, but....
Why do I speak out about my tragedy? Not to glamorize the recklessness, but to promote the perspective shift; To instigate integrity and demonstrate accountability. I close every assembly with this parable for the audience to consider: "There was a hiker lost in the wilderness, who happened upon another man, a pioneer, resting his back against a tree. The lost hiker, frantic and anxious, approached the pioneer to ask him if he could help him find his way out. The pioneer replied, "I cannot help you find your way out, that is ultimately up to you. But I can tell you of paths that you certainly should not take. I can tell you of ways that led me nowhere. I can tell you of mud bogs, snakes pits, and briar patches that you must steer clear from. But how to get out, well, that's up to you." The hiker was confused and......
Ever hear a hissing sound and thought nothing of it? I highly doubt it, because it is usually the hissing sound that tells us something is leaking – like a bike tire. Not too major of a problem, but neither is it minor, while still requiring the “hiss” to be plugged up and fixed. Thus, in the bike tire example, the hissing tells us that there’s a hole in the tube, making the slight leak hinder the entire bike’s use. And if you do not address the “hisssssing,” you very well could hurt yourself when using the bike. Further, sometimes the hissing can be even more catastrophic like a gas leak or a pipe fault. And anyone who....
