You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
Know this ➝ God made you on purpose for a purpose. And that purpose is to point to Jesus.
The grace of God was granted so that all of your mistakes can serve a purpose instead of serving shame. Furthermore, the grace of God was given--not as a license for us to sin--but to give us direct access to Him.
It's not about the length of time you spend with God, but more so it's about the strength of time you spend with God. In other words, a few intimate minutes in prayer with God can accomplish more than a lifetime of work without Him. So never get too busy that you cannot find the time to get with God. Because truth be told, God broke through time to get to you. (Think about it!) He went from eternity to Calvary so He could be with you personally!
What the heart lays hold of in the morning will often hold the heart in the evening: so let it be Jesus!
God will often lead us into the wilderness to wean us from the world and get us to lean more into His Word. Because it is usually in desert circumstances that we discover the abundance of Jesus.
Your reliance upon God must begin fresh and anew each day, because yesterday's faith isn't enough to carry you through today's challenges.
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...
Some may call it an epiphany, but I choose to call it a symphony, because these thoughts are music to my soul. I didn’t have to write this blog, I got to. I don't have to wake up and get in the Word, I get to. I don’t have to share my heart as I speak in schools, it’s a blessing to. I don’t have to prepare messages for church...
These thoughts were written in March of 2013 while I was incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility. As I re-read them now all of this time later, I realize they are still appropriate. These thoughts are still the desire of my heart ("that Jesus may increase and I may decrease"): "I just want to be avoided or overlooked by my peers and especially by the...
I always try to write out of a storehouse of my own experiences and feelings. I mean, when I present hope as being the anchor of the soul through a struggle, I'm not just throwing out a platitude. I’m doing so from having lived through the paralyzing feel of struggle. Many struggles. However I have learned that hope is a handle, that allow...
I strike several keys on my word processor, stringing unrelatable words together, and then I pause. Backspace. Backspace. I hold down the backspace key until the screen is blank again. If the machine could speak it would say, “STOP PUSHING BUTTONS!” Not yet! Because I cannot rest until...
