You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When we chase the wind, we end up empty. When we chase the Word, we end up full. The world offers noise; Christ offers nourishment. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
Man looks to build up his resume with accomplishments and decorations, but the resume that matters most is the one that replaces your work history with the work Jesus did on Calvary. His work exchanges our sinfulness for His forgiveness and our wretchedness for His righteousness. So let us turn our personal resume into an obituary and allow Jesus’ resume to be our victory.
No matter how much one may gain in this world, without Christ, they still have nothing. And no matter how much one may lose in this world, with Christ, they still have everything.
God is in the restoration business and His primary target is your soul. And though you may not "feel" restored within, remember that healing isn't a feeling but rather a soul that looks to Him. For the soul that looks to the Lord is the soul that is restored.
Humility before God will always cure worldliness while also making a way for His graciousness. Conversely, worldliness before God will only get you His resistance. For "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6).
You can obey the Word or you can be a slave to the world, but you can't do both. So let the truth of God's Word--not the trends of this world--begin to shape your heart. And do not let your mind be conformed to the insolence of the culture, but let it be transformed by the influence of the Savior.
Jesus refuses to be limited by the barriers we build, for no wall of our rejection is too high for Him to breach nor is the pit of our disobedience ever too deep for Him to reach. He still pursues us with the ocean of His love even when we build up bridges to go around Him. We may think we are eluding His love, but nothing can separate us from His love, for He will keep breaking down barriers until He captivates our hearts.
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....
