You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
It is better to fail over and over again at being faithful than to succeed over and over again at things that are faithless. "The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again" (Psalm 24:16).
Unity without the Gospel is actually worthless. People may be drawn together for a common purpose, but there is no such thing as true unity without Jesus. You see, any cause that does not elevate the God of eternity is only fulfilling the divisive plan of the enemy. "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity" (Psalm 133:1).
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith. (Charles Spurgeon)
God plays chess not checkers. And He's not playing against the devil like many suppose. He's actually playing alone, countering and cornering every step we take and even every mis-step we make. His sole objective is to get us to see His Checkmate--Christ on the Cross--when He willingly gave us His King. You can accept Him or reject Him? The next move is yours!
Only God can open doors to enter hearts; and only God can open hearts to enter doors. In other words, God will provide a way where there is no way so that closed hearts can be reached and revived. And He will also inspire dead hearts to life so that new territory can be gained for the Kingdom . "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:19)
Faith in Jesus will get you to rise up when everyone else is sitting down. "Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong" (I Corinthians 16:13).
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...
I am on the road for the next few days with speaking engagements, so I don’t have the time to write a blog. However, I decided to post a blog which I wrote four months after being incarcerated in 2010. It’s interesting to see the purpose that burned in my heart being fulfilled today (THY WILL BE DONE--May 25, 2010): I received a letter the other day that really.....
TERROR STRIKES AGAIN! This headline is all too familiar in our world today, where “high alerts”, terrorist attacks, or mass murders seem, sadly, eerily, too regular. Yet no matter how frequent these terrors have become, we still have a hard time accepting such atrocities. The generations below me don’t know a world without this type of carnage and their responses either numbs them to violence or “dumbs them” to ignorance. Please allow this tweet to explain what I mean when I say “dumbs them”: “Please don’t pray for Paris. Think for Paris. Love for Paris. Laugh for Paris. Have sex for Paris. We’ve had enough religion for one night.” Based on that comment alone, it is clear how terror and evil produces......
I’m talking to the complacent Christian: The pew warmer. The Bible studier, but not doer. Listening not applying. I’m calling out the Christian that “knows” they’re going to heaven from earth, yet have no idea what it’s like to have heaven on earth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: complacency is no place to be. I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve been an idle Christian, which is no different than worshiping an idol disguised by religion. Complacent Christian, who would want the salvation and joy you say you have when there’s no proof that you have what you say you have? Who cares you go to church and an occasional Bible study? Both activities don’t make you Christ --when you leave both....
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....
