You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, because it shifts our focus from what’s missing to Who is present. A thankful heart sees God’s hand in both plenty and in pain, and finds peace in His provision. When we practice gratitude, lack loses its grip and contentment takes its place. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Jesus didn’t come to establish a religion, He came to rapture hearts and capture souls. And there is one thing about His love that you cannot change, and that's how it will pursue you til the end of your days. You cannot run far enough away nor can you dig yourself into a deep enough place, for God's love will ultimately enrapture exactly what its after.
I take pictures with students after assemblies, but I never want the focus to be on me. Actually, I'd prefer to be a blur so that the focus is clear on my Savior. I know my purpose--that my redemption would point to Jesus.
The greater the surrender to God in the storm, the greater the peace of God through the storm. You see, you don't find peace in the storm, you let go of the storm and God's peace finds you.
Stop worrying about time and how everything is going to play out. God sits outside of time and He's already worked everything out. So just rest in His will; because it's only His hands, not the hand of a clock, that can cause you to be still.
The storms we go through are not to be avoided, but heeded. They not only give us the opportunity to experience the peace of God personally, but storms also offer us the platform to show the world a piece of God's glory by the way we suffer through them successfully.
Instead of pre-judging, let us be a people who are set on pre-loving. Let us commit to love even before we encounter someone or something that may seem unlovable. Again, if you make up your heart to love like Jesus, than no experience can get you to judge like Judas.
On Labor Day weekend, I’ll begin a new teaching series at Landmark Church titled “The Last Revelation: Countdown To The Kingdom.” For the past several months, I’ve been studying, praying, and seeking the Lord in preparation for what He desires to...
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
I guess you can call me a mistake, or an accident, or at best a giant surprise-- because my parents didn’t plan on having me. And you might even call me slow or challenged because that’s what the doctor predicted I would probably be. Whatever you call it— I’m here! So herein lies the story: One hot summer day
[Sneak Peek of "When God Had My Back" (Coming Soon)] I was new to the prison yard, being in the building for only few months at this point, but I was no stranger to playing basketball with the brothers. I’m an athlete by nature and though it had been several years since I last won a high school basketball State Championship, I jumped right back into the...
