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).
When God forgives, God restores. He doesn't just separate us from our sin, but He also completes our lives in His Son. You see, the believer not only receives forgiveness, but they also receive God's righteousness.
To have impact for Jesus, you have to have intimacy with Jesus. For it is only when we have daily interaction with Him that our lives will begin to have a Christ-like impression on others. Again, you have to know Him to share Him.
Attending church on Sunday may be about lifting Jesus up. But being the church every other day should be about living Jesus out. You see, the world needs to witness the love of Jesus from the pulpit of our lives in order for them to want Jesus to come into their own lives. In other words, if you talk it, be the first to walk it so the world can see it.
What the Lord requires of us is to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. To do justly is to live by integrity regardless of the consequences. To love mercy is to see others the way Jesus views them. And to walk humbly is to be poised by gentleness and powered by God's faithfulness. These are the Christian's requirements, not out of responsibility, but purely out of response to Calvary.
We pursue what we value. As does God. And since He pursued us by going to the cross and still pursues us with His grace, then what does that say about our value?
O Lord, Your forgiveness has set me free. Your amazing grace has made my heart a bended knee. And I thank you for Your relentless love that pursues me, for it changes me and altogether soothes me. You are a gracious God and a merciful Master, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
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...
Moving on up! Literally, about 25 miles up the Garden State Parkway! Sarah and I recently made the official move to Ocean City, New Jersey, where we are presently calling 10th & Boardwalk our home. I know the season is changing, which will slow the pace of life around here, but it’s still pretty cool to be living above the boardwalk, where the beach makes up our front lawn! Now here is the amazing grace about this place. When I first got out of prison....
I am returning from Memphis, Tennessee today, where Sarah and I spent the past three days on the move. It was a long-awaited reunion for Sarah and her friends, and obviously, it was the first time for me to meet everyone from Sarah’s Memphis days. Only a handful of them were able to make the journey north last November for our wedding, so this trip south was much anticipated for everyone. And of course, it provided the privilege to visit Sarah’s church—High Point Memphis, which I had heard so much about from the Peterson family. And what an experience that was! Not because it was.....
I don’t ever write to brag, but at times I will boast BUT--SOLEY--in the name and work of the Lord. There is a proverb that has come to life for me again and again: “A mans gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16). Some translations say your gift or ability will usher you before “great men”, “important people” and even “princes”. I have experienced this ever so abundantly since my release from prison. It was this exact time last year, where I was invited....
If today was your last day to live, how would you choose to live it? Who would you choose to be with? Would you even have time to read this? If today was the last day of your life, would you care about what you would wear? If today was the last day of your breath, would you ponder life after death? Would you make amends with your enemies or...
