You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Some opportunities don’t come again. Just as Paul sensed winter approaching and called for urgency, when God prompts your heart, act quickly. Delayed obedience can be disobedience in disguise. Discern what season you're in right now and do what the Spirit is leading you to do. “Do your utmost to come before winter" (2 Timothy 4:21).
If you turn on the News, you will see that the heartbeat of the world is dominated by chaos. But if you turn your heart onto the Good News, your life will be dominated by the peace of Jesus. Therefore, which "News" would you rather view?
God allows storms to touch us in order to grow us because He is more concerned about the roots of our convictions and the resilience of our character than the comfort of our circumstances. He loves us too much to leave us in the same condition that He found us. And since He proved His love for us with His sacrifice on the cross, we can trust the processes that He chooses for our growth.
You may not be able to see God's plan unfolding in front of you, but you can trust His purpose is always good for you. And when you learn to trust God's heart, peace begins to enter yours.
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity" (Proverbs 17:17). A few friends who understand your tears are much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your laughs.
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: God absolutely understands your hurt. But you must absolutely give your hurt up to Him in order for Him to help. He isn't distant from us; in fact, He came to us when He gave us Jesus. He feels our pain and our hurts, but He stills invites us to receive His peace in our hearts.
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: He who looks to his circumstances, looks to stumble. But he who looks to Christ, looks to stand. With that being stated, where are you looking today?
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
I wrote the piece below when I was inmate #314525E. You see, many people view my life now from the vantage point of, “Isn’t he lucky that so many things have worked out for him.” And so, I want to remind you where this piece was penned—in a dark place, often surrounded by lots of shady people and in the vice-grip of a system that is bent on squeezing the worst out of you. And yet because I understood WHO my God was/is---I NEVER lost hope and determined to deal hope to all those who the Lord placed around me---within prison and now outside of prison. So…as you read this piece, ponder the question of whether you are a dealer or a stealer?
There is so much beauty in vulnerability. Consider the many distressful Psalms in the Bible, penned by King David during moments of fatigue, failure, or frustration. Yet, through the transparency of the hurt comes the clarity of the Healer--and therefore hope and encouragement to all those reading them. Recently, I have had the pleasure of hearing testimonies from some of my students and peers alike. Actually, we were in the middle of breaking down “the Law of His Instrument”, a concept from my book, ‘U MAY B THE ONLY BIBLE SOMEBODY READS’. The “law” states that “surrendering to the grip of grace will hold you up to a higher standard of influence.” Meaning, when we....
“Do you go to medical?” That was a question repeatedly posed to me by a fellow inmate. The intent of the question was to figure out what drug I was taking. You see, in prison, men line up in droves to go to medical with the hopes of having legal drugs dispensed to them for a wide variety of reasons. I explained to this inmate that I wasn’t on any drugs and that I had never been to medical. He then inquired, “Then why do you look so happy all the time? After all, this is prison.” That whole exchange still brings a smile to my face as that question gave me an opportunity to testify about the peace that the Lord had encompassed me with in prison. Many would say...
I recently had the privilege to speak at a community event called “Praise in the Park,” which was held at the Cape May County Park/Zoo. It was a venue that consisted of several bands and singers performing to the praise of God in a public setting, with informational booths and fun attractions lining the outskirts of the area. The evening concluded by a special performance from the Christian band ‘Finding Favour’, whose top billboard hit song—Cast My Care—can be heard on XM Radio. Ironically, that song would resonate in my mind and is at the heart of why...
