You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Light doesn’t argue with darkness, it simply shines into it. And darkness has no defense against even the smallest flame. In the same way, you don’t have to out-shout the culture or win every argument, you just have to out-shine it with Christ in you. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
The reality of our faith is often discovered in trials. Meaning, we never really know what's inside of us until a tribulation shakes it out of us. But God knows. Therefore, let us welcome trials into our lives as the necessary fires that refine the hidden gold in our souls.
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?
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...
(ThrowBack to Prison) I’ve met so many Killa’s along the way so far on this prison journey. Actually, let me elaborate on that statement. I have met so many inmates with the nick-names of Killa thus far. Killa C. Killa B. And every other letter attached to the word ‘kill’ with the replacement of ‘a’ instead of the proper ‘er’ ending. Then there are the countless Murda’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Murda, not murder, but Murda G and even a G-Murder. There’s been one Trauma and several....
Accountability always unlocks opportunities. And when God gives you a vision, He always confirms it with His provision. So as long as I govern my #iCONVICTION with the Lord’s leadership, then I will always be following “goodness and mercy”—or they will be following me! On that note, I was invited to speak at Coastal Christian Ocean City tonight--the 22nd--at 7 PM. I will be teaching from one of the most quoted Psalms in the Bible, yep you guessed it, Psalm 23. With a message that is intertwined with my testimony, come join us as we see if we know this Psalm by just “memory or intimacy?” Can we only verbally quote this Psalm or....
The everyday pressures I face, when compared to my former pressures, is the difference between a hurricane and a light rain. An umbrella adequately covers one; but there are limited safety precautions for the other. Prison pressure was a hurricane, making life’s current pressure nothing but a light rain. I was in an earthly form of hell for over 4 and 1/2 years, yet I emerged....
In honor of my mother’s newly released book “SLAMMED,” and it’s emphasis on faith in God in the midst of a storm, I would like to share an abbreviated version of the words spoken at my brother John’s funeral -- nine years ago-- on behalf of my mother by her friend. (It’s worth the longer read!)-------- An amazing thing happened three decades ago in Bayside Village. There in the spring of 1978, John and Cherri Olsen—that’s my husband and me and our baby son John moved into the barn-style house at 110 Oakdale Ave. directly across the street from the barn-style house at 109 Oakdale Ave, where John and Andrea Maher lived with their baby son, John. And I noticed right away that their house was......
