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...
Well, I’m still feeling a bit under the weather, which is in polar contrast to the recent beautiful weather. I so desire to be in the sun and feel its tanning kiss on my skin. Yet the current “cold” in my system has me avoiding the outside heat. Nonetheless and here is the lesson said best: whether you’re feeling under the weather, whether you’re experiencing good weather, or whether you’re going through rough circumstantial weather—whatever the weather—when you are...
Character Update! After serving 6 years and 11 months in prison, my BFAM (Brother From Another Mother) Sean McGuirk, has been released like a slingshot releases a stone. In other words, society would assume my friend’s life and circumstances would have pulled him backwards never to recover, but in Gods economy, sometimes you have to go backwards before you can be propelled forward. Since his release about...
It’s been a very foggy (and groggy) week, not because I can’t see, but because an annoying flu has sapped all my strength and dropped me to my knees. Yet, this is a place where I’d much rather be. Not sick and restless, but with symptoms that require personal attention. You see, spiritually speaking, we are all sick and desperate, and it is only Jesus who can medicate this deficit. So like a physical cold that needs medicine, more dangerous is becoming spiritually cold, and that symptom alone should...
I think about how many people I am in contact with via social media or in person, who are experiencing present adversities or pains; all types of different people from different states with different circumstances. I’ve learned so much from these interactions and correspondences and how pain is not bias. It is not bent towards one type of person or family, over another. Pain does not pre-judge. Pain simply becomes pain when it’s felt.....
