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).
The hardest aspect of going through adversity is often time. But in time, you will see that the thing that caused you so much agony is the exact same thing that developed you the most spiritually. And the best thing to do in the midst of an affliction isn't to watch the time slowly tick away, but to fix your eyes on Jesus whose grace is sufficient for the day.
God doesn't waste anything from the trail of our lives. He takes the stuff that we think is left behind with no value--the messes, the confusions, and even the devastations--and He fashions it all into something worthy to be used for His glory and our good. Nothing is wasteful to a God who is faithful.
The best thing we can do each day is to position our heart in a place where we can experience God. Whether it be prayer with Him, stillness before Him, or devotions in Him, the heart is strongest when it is bent toward Him.
Grace wasn't granted so we could sin freely. But rather, grace was granted so we could be free of sin. You see, God's grace isn't just an eraser that wipes up our mistakes, but it's also a buffer that keep us from making mistakes. It is out of the glorious grace given to us in Jesus that we can live a life victorious.
Nobody can curse what God has blessed. Consider how a “Merry Christmas” has nothing to do with presents and everything to do with His presence. Again, having a "Merry Christmas" isn't about being liked by the crowd, but it does signify that not even a “King Herod” can take you out. Remember, the devil doesn’t fight us because of where we are; he fights us because....
We may make plans that we think are best, but without God's blessing, those plans are sure to bust. He knows the perfect plans He has for us. Therefore, it would be wise to ask Him for His hand of blessing before we take a step in our own direction. You'd be surprised how willing God is to show you He knows best when you take the time to ask Him for His best
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...
I, again, am writing at 30,000 feet in the air. It is currently a very bumpy flight and there is even a thickness of clouds that prevents you from being able to see the “sky-view” outside of the window. Oh how the view of the sky can be so beautiful. The picture and journey is perfect. You see, life is exactly like this airplane ride. You may not be able to see where you’re going in the moment, but because you’re on-board with the flight plan previously mapped out, you can be assured that you’ll eventually get to where you’re going. And even if there are bumps and turbulence along the way, you know such pressures come with flying, and in....
This is not my opinion. This is truth. And as such, it must be heeded, for truth isn’t something you can afford to hear and ignore. I know this from personal experience --knowing truth-- but failing to do truth. And usually, 100% of people who fail to heed truth will truthfully fail. Whether now or later, sandcastle kings will find out that the throne of their foundation is as unstable as the shifting sands. And when the waves of life crash upon that kingship, every captain of their own soul will be forced to abandon ship. Man-made...
Alright! This, by no means, is meant to stir up any opinions or arguments about the presidential election. Let’s get one thing straight, I am a convicted felon and as such, cannot vote until I am off of parole supervision. This is also not me picking apart any one candidate, and even if I did, who would actually care about my little old perspective anyway. This is, however, meant to stir up simple reason and...
Cold, hard concrete below my feet, but it feels like cotton when I’m on my knees. The surface doesn’t change, but the texture of my heart does. My circumstances may not change, but my conviction does. The hard people around me may not change, but how I see them softens for yet another day. Oh how desperately I need my prayer time as my life line. My morning manna. Speaking with Jesus in the cool of the morning before the heat of....
