FROM THE KEYBOARD

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "TGIF = THANK GOD I'M FREE. Let the world know that Jesus died for them, you, and me! Join us at Coastal Christian Ocean City for Resurrection Sunday, and find the TGIF that can be experienced everyday."

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" (Matthew 16:26) In other words, you can afford to lose everything in this world.....except your faith in Christ.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "To reject Christ is to choose hell. Why would anyone do that? And no, God doesn't send anyone to hell. Our choice determines our destination."

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: “Beloved do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (I Peter 4: 12-13). Suffering is the “necessary” agitation that dislodges the soul (emotions, will, and intellect) from its attachment to the world. God’s genius is allowing worldly discomfort to find heavenly comfort, for He loves us too much to leave us comfortable. Thank You Jesus!

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Faith can only be navigated through testing. Therefore, the true measure of a man or woman is not found in what they do or even what they’ve done. The true measure is determined by how they respond to trials in spite of what they do or what’s been done."

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9). Confession of sin brings liberation from sin. Confession means to say the same thing that God has already said--"It is finished"--and when you release this by faith, sin will release you by grace.
