You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The opinions of people can change overnight, but the truth of God never changes. Do not anchor your identity in applause or criticism; anchor it in Christ. Even when whispering surrounds you, the Lord still upholds those who walk in integrity. Heaven’s verdict is greater than earth’s opinion. “The integrity of the upright will guide them…” (Proverbs 11:3).
If God's finger points you into a certain direction, trust that His gracious hand will be with you for full protection. He doesn't send the equipped. He equips those He sends.
To look back in regret is to not be able to move forward into grace. Because although God is the same yesterday, today and forever, He is also a God of present help. Meaning, He cannot lead you forward into His purpose if you are always looking backward into pity.
God will get His. To those who are real with it, that's exciting. But to those who are faking it, that ought to be terrifying. In other words, whatever we sow, we will eventually grow. Whether now or later, God will get His.
Faith in a living God is the only remedy that can revive a dead society. Without faith in Jesus infusing our moral courage, every attempt at "reform" or "progress" will leave behind nothing but carnage. "Moral courage is in short supply and beyond valuable. Yet sadly, it's usually the most absent characteristic in men. If you won't stand for your faith, you won't stand at all" (Lt. General "Jerry" Boykin).
Religion can never grant us peace. Only Jesus can. Politics will never win us liberty. Only Jesus will. Philosophy has never produced lasting love. Only Jesus has. Nothing in this known world can save a soul. Only Jesus.
Real men love Jesus, live for Jesus, and lead others to Jesus. Period. For there is no other realness apart from Christ-righteousness.
What we are witnessing in these protests and walkouts is not random unrest, but the fruit of decades of moral decay left untreated. When a nation rejects God’s order long enough, disorder does not merely grow, it metastasizes. Not because rightly ordered authority causes rebellion, but because rebellion...
In two days I will be married. Or as our Instagram hashtag creatively expresses it, #letsgetMAHERied. There has been so much planning in such a short period of time (six weeks). From the day we set the date of November 8th, the favor from God has been overwhelming. (And thankfully we have our parents, siblings and other extended family members who have worked tirelessly for this day; ALL FORMS of FAVOR). One of the initial obstacles was finding a church large enough to hold our guest list. Thankfully a long time friend and Pastor......
Man, heck with “likes,” I’m trying to save lives! And NO, I'm not the Messiah. I'm just a wick that Jesus has set on fire! No disrespect to anyone who has ever “liked” my pics or points, but when do we make what we “like” online the very manifestation of what we are like outside: Outside the screen, whether it be our cell phone or our computer at home. I’m tired of being reduced to a “like” on my Facebook wall. If you don’t believe it.....
Deep thoughts from a deep heart--which only comes from deep scars. I still feel the crevice of pain every time I re-hash my story to the audiences that God has ordained for me to address. I know that I do not deserve the voice, far from it. But the students and youth deserve the message. And the community deserves this type of response, and all of this is in spite of me. I strongly desire.....
I’m angry! Yes, I really am! And guess what? It’s acceptable when your anger is a derivative of what angers God. And this was one of the many lessons Pastor Matt Stokes poured forth today to the community at Coastal Christian Ocean City (CCOC). It was a much-needed message that beats near, dear, and clear to the heart of God; especially as it is manifested in the life of Jesus. When do we......
