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...
You never really know what you got til it’s gone, or until it goes dormant! Either way, that statement is true in regards to so many areas of life--if not all areas of life-- especially talent. And participating in the Middle Township High School Soccer Alumni game this past weekend has me thinking about where I used to be in terms of my past profession. You see, when I was playing pro soccer for those seasons, I never really stopped to appreciate the ability that God had given me to be at that level. Instead of playing to give Him glory, I played to give myself glory. And pride always lifts you up for a fall......
My first Thanksgiving home and I am extremely grateful for where I am living. However, this Thanksgiving in particular--back in freedom--has me giving thanks for my past prison living. You see, for the past 4 years, my Thanksgiving was stripped of family, friends, and festivities. It was reduced to a mess-hall style meal, with canned cranberry as the most tasteful portion of the meal. Rubber turkey, watery mashed potatoes, and of course rice--even though it was supposed to be stuffing-- was served with every meal. For example, rice pudding was the dessert and the soup, just add water. In prison, you have to learn to love rice. Because hate it or love it, they are serving it. Anyway, as the traditional layers of Thanksgiving were completely peeled away.....
Have you ever heard something said about you that is false, yet certain people are convinced it's true? Well, I have. More times than I'd care to recall. And regardless of all the other times false news filled somebody else's ears with wax that blocks out the truth, the freshest is always the most flagrant. I don't need to go into explicit detail about what I'm talking about, but I will explicate what's false in order to regulate what's true. You see.....
I wonder… if Jesus were alive today, how would He use social media? Would He have a fan page on Facebook? Millions of followers on Twitter? Miraculous picture posts on Instagram? I wonder…how He would use YouTube—would He tell dynamic and enigmatic parables or would He teach about relationship over religion, love over law? I wonder…would Jesus use Vine? Would He join LinkedIn? Would Jesus Snapchat? I wonder if He would get so frustrated with having a “fan page” on Facebook that He.....
