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).
You have the Father's undivided attention and He is waiting for you to notice. And not only His attention, but He loves you with an undivided affection and His desire is for you to know this. Friend, you are not overlooked by the One who has overcome.
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....
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...
It doesn’t matter if you talk about God or not, people should know that you are set apart and biblical based on the way you live out your convictions. In other words, you can be silent but still loud for Jesus. Consider the examples we find in the book of Esther in the Bible, which, by the way, has no formal reference or mention of God. Not once. But like the characters in that book, we don’t have to verbally quote God for our lives to visually....
I believe my spiritual alignment and character development has been because of the child-rearing, faithful appeals, and the fervent prayers to God which came from the heart of my beloved mother. She has prayed for my life to be used for God’s glory, but this wasn’t a responsive prayer to my tragedy, this was actually a progressive prayer from my youth. She prayed in this diligent manner over all of her children--for our futures and families--to be men of character, conviction, and community. Her prayers went up and I see...
The easy route is rarely the right route. And that’s why we say, “they took the easy way out” in reference to someone that bailed out. The book of Proverbs says it like this, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small” (24:10). Basically, when we bail out, we are only showing our true character out. God allows adversity to befall us, not to belittle us, but to benefit us......
I was sitting out on my front yard recently watching the traffic of people walk the boards. With the beautiful beach only 30 yards in front of me, I thanked God for where HE currently had me. You see, my front yard is the boardwalk and the beach is my horizon; yet would you believe me if I told you that my current latitude and longitude has nothing to do with my heart of gratitude? I mean, of course I am appreciative of my present position, but the outward view has nothing to do with....
