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).
Conforming to sin leads to a hard heart. Concealing sin leads to a heavy heart. But confessing sin leads to a holy heart. "Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions...
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...
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....
