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...
I must say --with all humility-- that I do not care who follows me on social media. I obviously take these platforms seriously based on the content of my posts and pictures; and I hope whoever is following me feels as if I am leading them somewhere worthwhile. It is truly my intent to instigate integrity, inspire initiative, and infuse insight through these vehicles. And I get it, everyone wants as many followers as possible when it comes to these channels -- more followers equals more popularity…I guess. I am not trying to lose followers, and my desire is not to gain followers.....
Yesterday was exactly 5 years since my sentencing day. The day I was physically incarcerated, but spiritually liberated (I-VII-X). And much has happened in this time-span. Much has grown. Much has died. Much has multiplied. You see, I could not visualize where I’d be weeks, months, or years from that fateful day that I was sentenced away. I could only see the moments before me and the opportunities around me. Both presented decisions to be made--Maximize the situation or criticize my life’s condition? I think....
The New Year is upon us, and for me personally, nothing has changed except the date. I was living for Jesus in 2014 and I do NOT plan on ceasing in 2015. Of course the New Year brings with it new seasons and new reasons to attack life, but without Jesus writing your game plan, then this new season will turn into new reasons for life to attack you. You see, when the 12 turns to a 1, we resolve....
Nearly 100 students sat quietly in the Cumberland County College auditorium recently while listening to Matthew Maher talk about the importance of making good decisions. As Matt spoke passionately about his experiences, you could hear a pin drop. Afterwards, several students approached Matt, thanking him for sharing his story. Matt calls himself That Guy. He grew up in Cape May County, NJ, and was That Guy who excelled both academically and athletically. Matt was active in his community, played basketball and soccer, and coached children in youth camps. He was....
