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).
Your prayers will not mean anything to God until they mean everything to you. Why? Because words without heart do not reach God’s heart. "With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments" (Psalm 119:10).
In the morning, an active person hits the ground running, but a productive person hits their knees praying. You see, it is wisdom to face God before we face our day, not only to ask His will to be done, but so that...
God often uses our deepest pain as the launching pad to our greatest calling. Thus, when we place our pain in His hands, we begin to see how our pain becomes part of His plans. "Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act" (Psalm 37:5).
When we live for other people's praise, we will eventually die by their criticism. You see, to fear man is to place "him" in a position higher than God, which causes us to live in between the instability of two...
We are not saved because of the pedigree of our family or because we have a degree in theology. Salvation comes ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ personally. Thus, when we place our faith in Him alone, He takes our heart and...
The duty of every soul isn’t to find pleasure but to find its Creator. You see, the soul will always be empty in the world until it finds its way back to the Lord. "Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him" (Psalm 62:5).
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...
It's true, you never really know what you've got until it's gone. But also, in some situations, it takes being gone to realize what you've got. Being back in Florida with my family for the first time in 6 years has taught me a humbling lesson about the void that I left my parents with since I've been gone. Other family members, who are here with us now, (and were here in years past) have told me privately how both my mother and my father have a different type of vacation relief this time around. You see, it's as if--for the past 5 Florida trips--they've left behind a "peace" of luggage that was locked up and....
You really can't walk a few feet in Disney World without seeing people taking photographs. Most of those photo op's involve posing in front of a scenic background or vibrant foreground. Whether it's a giant castle behind you or Minnie Mouse next to you, there is just something "magical" about capturing the moment....or is it more about capturing our own likeness? I'm sorry, this is just how my mind works these days! Perhaps we love seeing ourselves in a picture because deep down inside we are reminiscing about that which is eternal. Perhaps it's not the external image that we are.....
Let's just say I couldn't see this day six years ago.....though, while I was "there", I imagined it every year that my family was here. And it is the imagination that can often be a preview of coming attractions. Anyway, last time I was in Florida was 6 years ago--post-tragedy and pre-prison. And as Magic Kingdom was an amusement option during that time with my family--please understand--it wasn't ALL "Disney" for me....In fact, I would soon be....
("Imprisoned by Peace" is Book #1 of 5 from the Core Conviction Series and was written while I was in prison): Where have I been most of my young life thus far? I have been all over the country in my travels with soccer, from childhood as a novice player to adulthood as a professional athlete. I have been to so many great colleges and universities, visiting those campuses either for pleasure or sports-related activities. I have even lived in some beautiful cities in my day. But where have I been while being where I was? Now in prison, I realize that though I have been all over and claimed to be a man of faith, I made this claim when I was “beside myself.” I never fully understood that I was going through the motions in life spiritually and that there needed to be a catalyst that would bring me “back to myself.” I found my way from here to there, but I was lost! This View Apart from my prison experience is...
