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 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?
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: It is very hard to convince someone of the Gospel when you have already convinced them of gossip. Those two stories cannot coexist on your tongue if you expect to have a positive affect on someone else's heart. Let the Gospel be the only story you tell others about, with Jesus as the Someone you are talking about.
Like a jeweler displays a diamond against a black velvet backdrop, so does God show off His brilliant brightness by pulling us out of any darkness. And though He erases our sin, He doesn't throw away the ingredients that led us to Him. He uses it all--and against the "black velvet" of my past--the diamond of Jesus shines ever brighter in my present. #Clarity #Diamonds #TrueStory
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...
Sometimes you just have to pray through your nightmare because sometimes, just sometimes, our dreams are swallowed by a pit, a prison, or a pain. I immediately think of Joseph in the Bible. In so many verses it says that “the Lord was with Joseph and he prospered.” Mind you, he was a slave and the Lord’s hand was still with him mightily and obviously. BUT here’s the point: God’s only with a man or woman who is committed to being with God. Again, the Bible confirms, “the LORD is with you.....
The blog heard ‘round the world. No seriously, why can’t I think this way? I mean, why shouldn’t I believe what Jesus Himself has said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12). Jesus gives us the authority to believe...
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....
