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...
Do you have a thorn in the flesh? Oh how we as humans resist anything that agitates or irritates us. Yet, our “thorns” are not only divinely permitted, but they are even custom fitted. The Apostle Paul wrote about such thorns saying they come our way mainly for God’s strength to have its way in us (2 Corinthians 12:9). There is nothing wrong with praying for the irritation to be removed--Paul did and so did Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane--but when the answer from God is not removal but rather “this is by My approval”, then the thorn must become a launchpad for.....
It is late Wednesday evening and I am just now “strong” enough to share some thoughts about being weak. You see, for the past 2 days, I have been knocked off my feet and bed-ridden. I was held captive by intense nausea cuddling the toilet bowl the entire night. I was so weak and felt very vulnerable. But though I was a hostage to this sickness, believe it or not, I found myself detained by Gods grace. Please allow me to explain by sharing with you the caption that summarizes the message I will be.....
Seven years. Goodness gracious. How can it be? I am only where I am today because of God’s goodness and His graciousness toward me --and in spite of me. There would be no need for His grace without disgrace. You see, today, March 7th, marks the 7th year since my irresponsible and reckless decision to drink and drive, which claimed the life of Mr. Hort Kap and caused so many other lives to implode. From the inside out. This world doesn’t need help dishing pain out, yet on this fateful day in 2009, I became...
This week has jump-started a several month speaking tour, again with State Farm’s support, where the first several engagements were up in North Jersey, reaching close to 2,000 students. After each assembly, there is always about 15-20 minutes allotted for a Q&A with the students. The questions that come at me are usually the same, but each and every question still presents me with the opportunity to influence my audience even further. You see, the questions are like doors to their hearts, and when they ask them, it’s as if they are opening up to allow the truth in, regardless if they even....
