You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
At the end of Paul’s life, we don’t see a spotlight on himself, we see a list of names highlighting others. Quiet servants. Hidden helpers. Ordinary people who stayed faithful. In a world that celebrates fame, God honors faithfulness. (See 2 Timothy 4:19-22)
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).
True confession is agreeing with God's Word and His Word says "for all have sinned and fall short of His glory." Therefore, to confess we are sinners is to also express the need for a Savior. And that is why true confession does not take...
The Christian who is careless with Bible reading will care less about godly living. You see, there is no way to live godly in this world without spending time with God in His Word. "How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!" (Psalm 119:9-10).
Jesus is not a “get out of hell” ticket to heaven. Jesus is the only One who can get “the hell” out of you. Therefore, O Lord, "wash [us] thoroughly from [our] iniquity and cleanse [us] from [our] sin" (Psalm 51:2).
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
The everyday pressures I face, when compared to my former pressures, is the difference between a hurricane and a light rain. An umbrella adequately covers one; but there are limited safety precautions for the other. Prison pressure was a hurricane, making life’s current pressure nothing but a light rain. I was in an earthly form of hell for over 4 and 1/2 years, yet I emerged....
In honor of my mother’s newly released book “SLAMMED,” and it’s emphasis on faith in God in the midst of a storm, I would like to share an abbreviated version of the words spoken at my brother John’s funeral -- nine years ago-- on behalf of my mother by her friend. (It’s worth the longer read!)-------- An amazing thing happened three decades ago in Bayside Village. There in the spring of 1978, John and Cherri Olsen—that’s my husband and me and our baby son John moved into the barn-style house at 110 Oakdale Ave. directly across the street from the barn-style house at 109 Oakdale Ave, where John and Andrea Maher lived with their baby son, John. And I noticed right away that their house was......
I must say --with all humility-- that I do not care who follows me on social media. I obviously take these platforms seriously based on the content of my posts and pictures; and I hope whoever is following me feels as if I am leading them somewhere worthwhile. It is truly my intent to instigate integrity, inspire initiative, and infuse insight through these vehicles. And I get it, everyone wants as many followers as possible when it comes to these channels -- more followers equals more popularity…I guess. I am not trying to lose followers, and my desire is not to gain followers.....
Yesterday was exactly 5 years since my sentencing day. The day I was physically incarcerated, but spiritually liberated (I-VII-X). And much has happened in this time-span. Much has grown. Much has died. Much has multiplied. You see, I could not visualize where I’d be weeks, months, or years from that fateful day that I was sentenced away. I could only see the moments before me and the opportunities around me. Both presented decisions to be made--Maximize the situation or criticize my life’s condition? I think....
