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...
My speaking schedule the past several weeks has been quite busy. We’ve been back and forth from one end of the state to the other doing multiple engagements, with each stop having its own climatic flavor, while some have inadvertently provided their own type of humor. I still laugh in my head when I think of this one incident. I’m telling about my meeting with my lawyer and how much time I was looking to do in prison, (up to 10 years), and say how I wasn’t worried about it. Not because I was in denial, but because....
In honor of the Christmas season and the fact that my brother John’s upcoming 10th anniversary to heaven (December 15th ) is upon us, I thought it was fitting to post a Christmas column that my mom wrote a year after his death. The year Jesus Himself showed up at Christmas. May it bless all of those who are grieving a loss during this season. You can hear more about grief and the holidays in this week’s radio podcast ‘HIS BIRTH is GREATER than DEATH.’ You can tune in by clicking on the "Matt & Mom Live!" tab at my website, www.themattmaherstory.com. WHEN JESUS CAME CALLING By Andrea Maher I love Christmas. I never tire of the beauty of this season.....
Imagine the thrill of just seeing your child graduate from high school— all the excitement of a bright future filling your heart. It is one of those pinnacle days for any parent. And then imagine, just hours later, at midnight, getting a knock at your front door and opening it to see a group of somber police officers asking, “Are you Dr. Verea?” And then the news that would implode the world of Dr. Jorge and Lourdes Verea. Their precious daughter Rebeka was dead....
Nothing long today, but strong in every way. Not so wide either, but deep. It’s the difference between seed and sod. It’s the contrast between root growing and surface showing. It’s the polarized results of the “here I am” perspective and the “there you are” objective.One way leads to life, while the other way leads to strife. Seed goes deep and pushes up....
