You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
At the end of Paul’s life, we don’t see a spotlight on himself, we see a list of names highlighting others. Quiet servants. Hidden helpers. Ordinary people who stayed faithful. In a world that celebrates fame, God honors faithfulness. (See 2 Timothy 4:19-22)
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Therefore, submit to God" (James 4:7). If we are not constantly submitting to God, then we are likely drifting from Him. If you don't feel as close to God as you used to, the question is, "who moved?"
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: Jesus not only knew everything intellectually, but He was also willing to show what He knew passionately. You see, a head full of knowledge means nothing without a heart full of compassion. We must be willing to feel the pain in the people around us in order to show them the reason for our hope and healing within us. And the closer we get to Jesus, the more compassion we will have for people.
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth" (Colossians 3:2). If we are always watching other people and worrying about what they are doing with their lives, then we will miss what God is trying to do in our lives. He stays speaking to us and that is why we have to stay looking to Him.
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: This world may be trying to push God out of it, but don't you dare let it push God out of you. Be unashamed to live for Jesus because the gospel proves that He was unashamed to die for you.
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: The gospel is the power of God that renewed the world--from the bloody cross to the empty tomb--and continues to move the world because of a risen Lord and glorious Savior. The question I need to ask myself, "Has it stopped renewing and moving me?"
Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together" (Colossians 1:17). If God can hold the world together, trust and know that He is holding your situation together. It may not look good and you may not feel well, but that doesn't change the truth that God is always good and He does all things well.
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...
A Famous proverb states, “Pride comes before a fall.” You can be certain that every fall leaves you on the ground with a decision to make from that downward position. If you need a picture on pride to teach a lesson, use my failure and the ripple effect of pain it caused. My fall landed me in prison, but that...
I do not desire to forget, I desire for God. Had I not gone through tragedy, by my own doing, I would not be where I am today: broken but open. I would take back only one thing from my past, and that is the life that was taken due to my irresponsible decision to drink and drive—all else would remain. But sadly, even a life lost has been....
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
