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).
Faith that goes forward in spite of failure will always flourish. How? Because God isn't looking for flawless people, He is looking for people who own their mistakes as a passage way for His grace. You see, it is often from messing up that the believer begins growing up.
God often has to break us before He can use us. Why? Because when we are broken, we often begin praying. And proper praying moves the heart into alignment with God's heart. And once our brokenness leads to dependence, God can finally use us.
There is nothing that can ever be uncovered about you that isn’t already covered by the grace of God.
Knowing Jesus isn’t proved by information of mind, but rather transformation of heart. You see, the Bible cannot change you from the outside in because you read it, but its Author can change you from the inside out when you heed it.
Our lives are a product of our thoughts. What we think upon and look upon will be what we build our life upon. Therefore, "do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2).
You cannot be more prodigal than God. You may have gone far from Him, but Jesus went farther than your sin to bring you back to Him. He went to hell to bring us to heaven. And when you realize that about His prodigal grace, you will have found your way back into His warm embrace. Again, our recklessness cannot trump God's faithfulness because nothing can separate us from the prodigal love of Jesus.
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...
(ThrowBack to Prison) I’ve met so many Killa’s along the way so far on this prison journey. Actually, let me elaborate on that statement. I have met so many inmates with the nick-names of Killa thus far. Killa C. Killa B. And every other letter attached to the word ‘kill’ with the replacement of ‘a’ instead of the proper ‘er’ ending. Then there are the countless Murda’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Murda, not murder, but Murda G and even a G-Murder. There’s been one Trauma and several....
Accountability always unlocks opportunities. And when God gives you a vision, He always confirms it with His provision. So as long as I govern my #iCONVICTION with the Lord’s leadership, then I will always be following “goodness and mercy”—or they will be following me! On that note, I was invited to speak at Coastal Christian Ocean City tonight--the 22nd--at 7 PM. I will be teaching from one of the most quoted Psalms in the Bible, yep you guessed it, Psalm 23. With a message that is intertwined with my testimony, come join us as we see if we know this Psalm by just “memory or intimacy?” Can we only verbally quote this Psalm or....
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......
