You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The same voice that thunders over the waters in Psalm 29 is the voice that rules over kings and nations. Storms obey Him, forests bow before Him, and thrones rise and fall at His command. As Daniel told Belshazzar, “The God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways” (Daniel 5:23), nations may plot and rulers may plan, but “The counsel of the Lord stands forever” (Psalm 33:11).
The Gospel is not just information that confronts the mind. The Gospel is a Person who transforms the heart. Jesus is the only One who can deconstruct the twisted soul and reconstruct it into something whole. Make no mistake, nothing in this world is more powerful than the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When you are open to do more for God, He will be open to do more through you. You see, what is required isn't great talent, but great intent. Meaning, be simply willing to show up so that God can supremely show out. God will do great things through the individual who allows Him.
No sin, no shame, no past, no pain....know Jesus. Do you know the One who died for your sin and shame, the only One who can redeem your past and pain? Do you know Jesus personally? Again, when you know Jesus, you know peace.
If you only see your own pain, you'll never see God's perfect plan.
When you know this world is not your home--but you are a citizen of heaven--it becomes easier to overcome the struggles of this life. Keep your mind therefore set on things above, where Christ is, knowing He is presently with you and eternally for you. Again, it's easier to overcome when you know where you're from.
Jesus can take earth's saddest failures and recycle them into heaven's most glorious victories. Consider the cross and how seeming loss was transformed into redeeming gain, because God always has a plan to bring beautiful melodies from the most ugliest of tragedies.
Evil rarely shows up all at once, it slides in slowly. It often begins with a small compromise, a quiet exception to God’s clear standard. What once was called sin gets renamed as struggle. What God defined as holy becomes “open to interpretation.” Over time, the truth isn’t just bent, it’s flipped. Eventually, the culture...
("Imprisoned by Peace" is Book #1 of 5 from the Core Conviction Series and was written while I was in prison): Where have I been most of my young life thus far? I have been all over the country in my travels with soccer, from childhood as a novice player to adulthood as a professional athlete. I have been to so many great colleges and universities, visiting those campuses either for pleasure or sports-related activities. I have even lived in some beautiful cities in my day. But where have I been while being where I was? Now in prison, I realize that though I have been all over and claimed to be a man of faith, I made this claim when I was “beside myself.” I never fully understood that I was going through the motions in life spiritually and that there needed to be a catalyst that would bring me “back to myself.” I found my way from here to there, but I was lost! This View Apart from my prison experience is...
I’m going against the culture curve at a frequency so loud that the message will be heard. The world takes no shame in their game--so why should I--when it’s their message that fouls up the brain and fills it with lies. Where is the voice in the gap calling America’s youth back? Not Joel Osteen and a sugar coated appeal! But for the sake of the soul, we need the truth so raw, the gospel message so real. I’ll tell it to you straight with uncompromising conviction. Forging my way in the wilderness and not scared of such friction. It’s not my opinion anyway nor my attempt to sway your opinion; it’s just my behavior that's following the very life of a Champion. Jesus the Christ, who went against the culture curve Himself by....
I was recently “tweeted at” from 2 different students. Not only 2 different students, but students from 2 different schools. And not only 2 different schools; but 2 different climates that defined the culture in each of those schools. You see, upon entering the one school I was personally greeted by the Superintendent, who sat with me for 30 minutes “shooting the breeze,” and even encouraged me to keep speaking out (though he had not heard the message yet). At the other school, I wasn’t met or greeted by anyone on staff. I was actually ignored until I asked if I could find my way to the auditorium to set up. And one thing I’ve learned from doing this on a daily basis is that the culture of any school starts at the top and flows downward....
Love is relational, not relative. It ought not depend on circumstances or the right “stars aligning.” No! Love is the highest divine emotion that can be expressed in life, not just lip. What I’m about to say next may be pointed, but I’m speaking to myself from past “love” exchanges. Love that is not channeled from the source of pure love is in fact perverted love. We may think we are loving accurately, but if you begin at the wrong location initially, every point after that will be off positionally and diverted.....
