You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Faith isn’t proven by getting what we want, but by trusting the Lord even when we don’t. Even when healing delays or the answer is “wait,” grace still holds us. Because sometimes God doesn’t remove the struggle, but He always stays with us in it. “Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick" (2 Timothy 4:20).
Joy may be seen with a smile—but deep joy is clearly seen through a trial. You see, joy becomes the composure of the soul when we surrender to the truth that God is always in control. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as...
God does not throw away the qualities we abuse, but rather He rewires them for His use. In other words, when we come to know Him personally, He will take our misplaced passions and harness them for the use of heaven. His Spirit recycles our...
The only way for our joy to remain full is to have frequent and intimate interactions with the Lord. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full" (John 15:11).
God’s faithfulness isn’t just a constant to us, but it is also a compass for us. You see, when we place our heart in His hand, His hand begins to direct our heart. "A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).
Satan wants to make saints into sinners by getting them to take their eyes off the Savior. And he wants to make sinners think they are saints through religion and the indoctrination of sacraments. You see, if he can get the believer to...
No man was ever kept out of God’s kingdom for his confessed badness; many are for their supposed goodness (Trapp). "If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us" (I John 1:10).
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...
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
Our performance doesn’t enhance or reduce God’s faithfulness. And with that opening sentence, it is my utmost privilege to report that God is still in the salvaging business despite our idea behind our own personal usefulness. Sarah and I recently participated in a youth event in Pennsylvania where I was the keynote speaker of the night. I’ve done this particular “presentation” before, which requires PowerPoint slides and embedded video; for it is the most structured way to tell my story without getting caught up in certain areas and timelines. Time is always ticking....
I am currently in Paramus, NJ, where this hotel will be Sarah and mines home away from home for the next 3 days. I am up here for several assemblies at area schools, funded by State Farm, and in conjunction with the Be Still Foundation. Now that school is back in session, my speaking engagement schedule is in full throttle. I will actually be doing about 26 engagements before the New Year, not counting ministry-speaking platforms. Again, I make mention of this busyness because....
