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).
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).
Christ not only came to cover sin, but He also came to conquer sin. You see, when Christ went to the cross, He paid our sin debt in full. He completely covered the penalty of sin. But because we are still wrapped in sinful flesh, we still wrestle...
To live like Christ is not a matter of “trying” but of “dying. You see, most of the problems we face can be solved by dying to self. And tension will cease to exist in the soul when we are able to remove "self" as the motivator in...
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...
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...
I’m going against the culture curve at a frequency so loud that the message will be heard. The world takes no shame in their game--so why should I--when it’s their message that fouls up the brain and fills it with lies. Where is the voice in the gap calling America’s youth back? Not Joel Osteen and a sugar coated appeal! But for the sake of the soul, we need the truth so raw, the gospel message so real. I’ll tell it to you straight with uncompromising conviction. Forging my way in the wilderness and not scared of such friction. It’s not my opinion anyway nor my attempt to sway your opinion; it’s just my behavior that's following the very life of a Champion. Jesus the Christ, who went against the culture curve Himself by....
