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...
The voice of faith can change any situation! True, genuine faith. When we speak out our #iCONVICTION, we are speaking the language of heaven. Ever wonder why God moves in some people’s lives and not others? It’s because of the different languages spoken out and which voices we tune into or choke out. When following God’s voice in your life (Remember, He said “Follow Me”), you can be sure that opposition will abound. Even in the midst of a storm and in-between the thundering crackling and lightening striking, if you use.....
Raise your hand in the air if you love Jesus! Well, that’s not exactly the question I asked to get the students to raise their hands. Not because I don’t want to publicize the gospel of grace, but only because I am not allowed to evangelize in the public school place. At least not with the outright message, but I do it with my social media messages that I write out. You see, if I can get the students to follow me outside of the school system, then I can introduce them to the only One who makes me cool through His wisdom—“wisdom is justified by her children” (Matthew 11:19)—Cool and composed as I present to the youth, but also cool as in hip like a rappers rhymes in the booth. I’m not “bigging” myself up, but I am.......
Sarah and I were recently in NYC for an event in conjunction with the NBA All-Star Weekend. Other than the bitter cold weather conditions, the climate of the “meet and greet” was fashionably attractive. Being in the midst of athletes like Terrell Owens, NBA great Isaiah Thomas, a few current Green Bay Packer’s, and a former Philadelphia Eagle, as well as NYC models and music artists, Sarah and I mingled like we belonged; even though we didn’t. I mean, Sarah was the prettiest there, and I was, well, the most infamous there, but we were still.....
Let’s not get things twisted—but it’s time to see the grey. A Christ-centered individual doesn’t condemn and contort things, but he does have the responsibility to humbly and carefully expound on things. So, please understand I’m not attacking anyone’s character, but I am trying to expose the innate danger of the erotic persuasion luring many to a false sense of what true love looks like: and it’s not in the pictorial of Fifty Shades of Grey. I don’t need to read a book to know that the ideas being idealized are harmful and morally bankrupt. Just as I don’t need to put....
