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...
I recently was asked to put together a ‘year in review’ resume for a proposal that a friend of mine was working on. It was not the easiest thing to do given all of the ministry opportunities God has given me since my release from prison. I think it was then, when I was crunching the numbers, that I was truly humbled by the many different outlets God has given me to plant seeds or water existing seeds--about Who He is and what He will do with surrendered hearts. I feel like there is ministry opportunity at every juncture. Recently, my mother.....
I don’t believe there is ever anything wasteful about adversity, unless we ourselves see the adversity as wasteful. Thus, our vision determines our conclusion. Without vision, a person has no purpose; and without purpose, a person has no hope. A life absent of hope then, is a life absent of life. I’m not trying to get all philosophical—but the bottom line is—that God has given us Jesus as the focal point of our hope, which allows us to walk through any of the temporary stuff--messy or not--with the steps of eternity....
I guess I will always need fuel to feed the flame of my pen. I was never at a loss for words while in prison, due to the nature of constant chaos that God allowed me to filter into countless writings, day by day for almost 5 years. Now out, I find myself really racking my brain for my next blog, column, or “daily inspiration.” But in this very moment, I tell you the truth, my thoughts......
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" --MLK jr. The believer must refuse to allow injustice to speak louder than integrity. Because most of the time even the most eloquent words won't be heard over the ignorant majority. Nonetheless, godly character always endures the conflict of the enemy, solely because the heart knows that what's eventually coming is called GLORY! Truth always marches on.
