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).
Everything you are going through is preparing you for what you prayed for. Remember, God is looking to develop your maturity before He can trust you to handle the responsibility. Trust there is always purpose in the pain.
One of the best ways to show Jesus is by sincere service. You see, selfless service not only breaks down barriers, but it cultivates curiosity because people are not used to being treated with such genuine generosity. When you serve others and expect nothing in return from your service, you begin to show them the heart of Jesus.
There is so much pain in this world and people are desperately looking for help to lift it. Of course no set of circumstances are the same, but let us always remember that the weight of other peoples burdens can be helped along with the right muscle--the heart. Because the best exercise for strengthening your own heart is by reaching down and helping somebody else pick up their burdens.
Jesus moved so graciously that even His steps toward Calvary were steps of liberty. And since He lives within you, let that freedom and grace cover you. You may feel "bound to your circumstances," but Gods peace can be found in any circumstances.
Got Anxiety? Try prayer, it works. Praying however, isn't directing God to do your will, but it's inviting God to do His will. And when we surrender to His will, we find His peace is able to erase our anxiety.
You make choices and then choices make you. Yet no matter what choices you may have made negatively, the choice to choose Jesus changes everything for all eternity. Choose Him and then let Him use you.
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...
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
It’s weird knowing that everyone I was extremely close to in prison is now out—and life goes on for all of us…. Except my friend Sean McGuirk. My BFAM! (Brother From Another Mother). Sean is still incarcerated and has about 22 months left to serve on his 8-year sentence. He has recently been......
How do you silence the critic without coming out of character? It’s easy. Take what they are conjecturing and use it as an opportunity for lecturing. My wedding is less than 3 weeks away, and according to the grapevine consensus -- Sarah and I are.....
