You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we insist on settling scores ourselves, we carry a weight God never intended us to bear. Scripture shows that evil doesn’t need our help to fail, it collapses when exposed to God’s light. Releasing the outcome to the Lord guards our hearts from bitterness and keeps us aligned with His righteousness. True strength is trusting God to handle what we cannot. “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14).
Complaining isn't caused by the greatness of our troubles in life, but more so by the littleness of our trust in Christ. Think about that! Because if we truly trusted God through thick and thin, then we wouldn't grumble and...
One may know the Word of God by studying. But the only way to know the God of the Word is through abiding. Abiding means to "stay in," to "connect with," and "continue at." Then Jesus said, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed" (John 8:31).
If truth be told, the only way to not be conformed to the world and its pull, is to daily allow the Word of God to transform the soul. You see, because of the inherent sin in our skin, we are inclined to be worldly. However, because of the...
Faith isn't about personal happiness, but rather glorifying God no matter what happens to us. You see, real faith honors God and God honors real faith.
You may still be in a storm, but the moment you learn to "be still" in the storm and know that God is in control, is the very moment the storm no longer controls you and His peace can enter your soul. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).
Religion can never bring us to God and that's why God brought Himself to us. He desires relationship over religion.
In the days following Charlie Kirk’s murder, something unexpected happened and the world witnessed it: people returned to church, conversations turned to repentance, and Christ was openly exalted. But whenever God begins to move, the enemy seeks to interrupt the work with confusion and accusation. Jesus told us plainly that Satan is “the father...
I’ll be completely honest as I share my initial thoughts during the recent leadership conference I attended. As Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley were up on stage talking about their paths of getting to where God has them currently, I could not help but think about my path, which—not for lack of a better word, but for the only word that fits—has me categorized as an anomaly. The definition of anomaly: A deviation from the common rule....
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
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......
