You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The devil’s accusations stop where the blood of Jesus starts; and hell’s fury can’t outrun Heaven’s victory. Stay covered by the blood, anchored in the Word, and fearless in your testimony. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Revelation 12:11).
Do not think that talking "about" God is the same as talking "to" God. He desires our attention to be intimate with Him well over us just having casual conversations about Him. Thus, do you know Him or do you just know about Him? "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection" (Philippians 3:10).
"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever" (I John 2:17). In other words, are you living for the will of the Lord or are you living for the thrills of the world? One way leads to destruction, while the other leads to salvation. Hint: doing the will of God is being obedient to His Word.
It is easy to waste our time on things that are temporal and material over eternal and spiritual. But when the Holy Spirit is given unhindered access to our hearts, He ignites a holy desire within us that enables us to place our time into God’s hands. And when our time is entrusted to God's hands, our lives begin to follow God's plans. "My times are in Your hands" (Psalm 31:15).
Saying "God's will be done" shouldn't be an excuse not to do God's will. You see, God cannot bless what we do not do, which means, He is not going to work out our situations for good until we have first resolved to work out our salvation for His glory. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13).
“I’m trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: (they say) ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher, he would either be a lunatic--on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg --or else he....
"I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (Philippians 4:11). To be content is to be satisfied by God's providence regardless of your circumstance. It's to know that as long as you have faith in Jesus Christ, you will always have everything you need in this life.
On Labor Day weekend, I’ll begin a new teaching series at Landmark Church titled “The Last Revelation: Countdown To The Kingdom.” For the past several months, I’ve been studying, praying, and seeking the Lord in preparation for what He desires to...
You never really know how much someone is hurting. It’s impossible to see what is happening on the inside because it is human nature to create defensive dams on the outside to keep our intensive tears from breaking through like a faulty floodgate. Sometimes you can sense pent-up pain, but you can’t feel it compassionately unless you are allowed to touch it, and like a raw nerve that is exposed, it must be diagnosed and treated before one can get a sense.......
My sentencing day January 7th, 2010, came fast. Each day leading up to it was like the rushing sands in an hour glass pouring non-stop reminders that soon it would be empty and reckoning day was near; time flew by from Thanksgiving spilling right into Christmas. The holidays, with all their promise of hope and glad tidings, seemed mechanical and surreal. I felt detached; indifferent. The warm and fuzzy reminders of past family gatherings only added to the strain of going through the motions, putting on a face of hope, when all real enchantment was gone. In addition, this time of the year always brought to our remembrance the life of my brother who passed away....
The following was written to my parents three weeks after my accident on April 1, 2009. My mother recently found it in a pile of notes in her old Bible. Considering I just got done teaching “You Are What You Keep,” Part 2 of our series Unbreakable ReSOULutions at my church, I am in awe of what the Holy Spirit guided me to write--that many years ago. This is just a portion of the three-page letter: Dad and Mom: So where do I begin? My mind races every moment of the day and I still....
Have you ever heard the term “Swan Song?” It refers to the ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song in the moment just before death, having been silent or not so musical during most of their lifetime. Stemmed from Greek mythology, I find there is some metaphorical truth to this. It is often in our darkest moments that we have a decision to make regarding....
