You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
God doesn’t promise a life without storms, but He does promise Himself as a shelter in the middle of them. Safety isn’t the absence of danger, it’s the presence of God. When life feels unsteady, faith isn’t about standing stronger on your own but running quicker to the One who never moves. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
Nothing about your life is a mistake. If God allowed it, that's because He wants to develop your character through it and also because He wants to use it.
Don't hide your fractures nor cover up your bruises, for both are the ingredients that God uses. You see, God looks to launch His grace through our brokenness and weakness, so that His strength would be obvious.
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.
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...
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......
I must say --with all humility-- that I do not care who follows me on social media. I obviously take these platforms seriously based on the content of my posts and pictures; and I hope whoever is following me feels as if I am leading them somewhere worthwhile. It is truly my intent to instigate integrity, inspire initiative, and infuse insight through these vehicles. And I get it, everyone wants as many followers as possible when it comes to these channels -- more followers equals more popularity…I guess. I am not trying to lose followers, and my desire is not to gain followers.....
Yesterday was exactly 5 years since my sentencing day. The day I was physically incarcerated, but spiritually liberated (I-VII-X). And much has happened in this time-span. Much has grown. Much has died. Much has multiplied. You see, I could not visualize where I’d be weeks, months, or years from that fateful day that I was sentenced away. I could only see the moments before me and the opportunities around me. Both presented decisions to be made--Maximize the situation or criticize my life’s condition? I think....
The New Year is upon us, and for me personally, nothing has changed except the date. I was living for Jesus in 2014 and I do NOT plan on ceasing in 2015. Of course the New Year brings with it new seasons and new reasons to attack life, but without Jesus writing your game plan, then this new season will turn into new reasons for life to attack you. You see, when the 12 turns to a 1, we resolve....
