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...
My first Thanksgiving home and I am extremely grateful for where I am living. However, this Thanksgiving in particular--back in freedom--has me giving thanks for my past prison living. You see, for the past 4 years, my Thanksgiving was stripped of family, friends, and festivities. It was reduced to a mess-hall style meal, with canned cranberry as the most tasteful portion of the meal. Rubber turkey, watery mashed potatoes, and of course rice--even though it was supposed to be stuffing-- was served with every meal. For example, rice pudding was the dessert and the soup, just add water. In prison, you have to learn to love rice. Because hate it or love it, they are serving it. Anyway, as the traditional layers of Thanksgiving were completely peeled away.....
Have you ever heard something said about you that is false, yet certain people are convinced it's true? Well, I have. More times than I'd care to recall. And regardless of all the other times false news filled somebody else's ears with wax that blocks out the truth, the freshest is always the most flagrant. I don't need to go into explicit detail about what I'm talking about, but I will explicate what's false in order to regulate what's true. You see.....
I wonder… if Jesus were alive today, how would He use social media? Would He have a fan page on Facebook? Millions of followers on Twitter? Miraculous picture posts on Instagram? I wonder…how He would use YouTube—would He tell dynamic and enigmatic parables or would He teach about relationship over religion, love over law? I wonder…would Jesus use Vine? Would He join LinkedIn? Would Jesus Snapchat? I wonder if He would get so frustrated with having a “fan page” on Facebook that He.....
We're back! Las Vegas was a great time, but without gratefulness it would just be a waste of time. So with that being clearly stated, Sarah and I remain grateful to have been where we were and also to be where we are.....right where God has planted us; which is always right because we both only desire Gods plans for us. So where from here as a married man? Well......
