You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
If God has redeemed you, don’t stay silent. Your story matters, not because it’s perfect, but because it points to a perfect Redeemer. Redemption is meant to be declared. So today, remember His rescue and let your words reflect His goodness. You’ve been redeemed. Say so. "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble" (Psalm 107:2).
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...
Palm Sunday! I am humbled to know my role as it pertains to the “Triumphant Entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem. The position that guarantees me His peace that sits upon me and His presence that always has my back! You might think that the best role is as one who holds the palm branch, waving it as a sign of victory. But that can’t be the case, because a week later that same position that yelled “Hosanna”—save now—was yelling “Crucify Him right now!” Or perhaps....
I just recently spoke in Concord, California at the prestigious Every 15 Minutes Program, held at Carondelet High School & De La Salle High School. This impressive program offers experiences that simulate real-life risks involved with drinking and driving, and texting while driving. The mood is somber and includes a mock funeral with caskets, pallbearers, and even a simulated crash scene, enacted the day before, which replays on the big screen. The room is filled with gloom. It is a stellar attempt to show the real life horrific consequences of drinking and driving. However, the show....
Anytime you decide to take a stand in LIFE, you’re going to have critics. Anytime you commit to leading the WAY, you’re going to have cynics. And anytime you unashamedly present the TRUTH, you’re going to have skeptics. What do these “ics” have in common? Well, most of the time, they don’t know the WAY that Jesus went, the TRUTH that Jesus spoke, or the LIFE that Jesus gave. They don’t know HIM; so don’t let their opinion slow you down from being all about HIM. Choose Jesus and you’ll want for nothing. Refuse Jesus and you’ll want everything, but....
Why do I speak out about my tragedy? Not to glamorize the recklessness, but to promote the perspective shift; To instigate integrity and demonstrate accountability. I close every assembly with this parable for the audience to consider: "There was a hiker lost in the wilderness, who happened upon another man, a pioneer, resting his back against a tree. The lost hiker, frantic and anxious, approached the pioneer to ask him if he could help him find his way out. The pioneer replied, "I cannot help you find your way out, that is ultimately up to you. But I can tell you of paths that you certainly should not take. I can tell you of ways that led me nowhere. I can tell you of mud bogs, snakes pits, and briar patches that you must steer clear from. But how to get out, well, that's up to you." The hiker was confused and......
