You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The world will try to pull your eyes to the chaos, but the Word calls you to fix your eyes on Christ. Stability isn’t found in the absence of storms, it’s found in the presence of the Savior who never changes. Keep your focus where your footing is firm. "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" (Isaiah 26:3).
Celebrating Holy Week is traditional, but celebrating the Holy One who descended upon that week is the Gospel. "No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown" (William Penn). Enough said! "Then the multitudes who...
Let truth, not trends, determine your day. Because regardless of how popular an idea or movement may be, it is only the truth of Jesus Christ that can truly set one free. His way determines peace and His life dictates purpose. Thus, His truth will always...
Spiritual awakenings aren’t birthed in presumption of God’s work but proclamation of God’s Word. In other words, there has never been a great awakening without a rude awakening which caused the Church to radically return to the Lord and...
As believers, we need to take root where we have been planted. This means we grab earth, while not allowing earth to grab us. In other words, we stand firm on the ground of truth without allowing the sinking sand of lies to pull down our lives. We need to be oaks...
The goal of being citizens of heaven on earth is not to make earth heaven but to bring heaven to earth. And like salt, our ingredient is only potent when we maintain our integrity. Because compromised salt is good for nothing but to be trampled on. Therefore...
The only right response to God‘s mercy is to give Him glory. And not just by lip-service, but even more so with our life's service. You see, Jesus died to keep us from the death we deserved (mercy) and He rose to give us the life we didn't deserve (grace). Again I say, the only...
America is not just drifting from God—it is in open defiance of Him. When evil is praised and order is condemned, you know the times are twisted. The Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles are calling law enforcement an “abuse of power”—while defending the rioters wreaking havoc in the streets. Like I said in this past weekend’s...
TERROR STRIKES AGAIN! This headline is all too familiar in our world today, where “high alerts”, terrorist attacks, or mass murders seem, sadly, eerily, too regular. Yet no matter how frequent these terrors have become, we still have a hard time accepting such atrocities. The generations below me don’t know a world without this type of carnage and their responses either numbs them to violence or “dumbs them” to ignorance. Please allow this tweet to explain what I mean when I say “dumbs them”: “Please don’t pray for Paris. Think for Paris. Love for Paris. Laugh for Paris. Have sex for Paris. We’ve had enough religion for one night.” Based on that comment alone, it is clear how terror and evil produces......
I’m talking to the complacent Christian: The pew warmer. The Bible studier, but not doer. Listening not applying. I’m calling out the Christian that “knows” they’re going to heaven from earth, yet have no idea what it’s like to have heaven on earth. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: complacency is no place to be. I know, because I’ve been there. I’ve been an idle Christian, which is no different than worshiping an idol disguised by religion. Complacent Christian, who would want the salvation and joy you say you have when there’s no proof that you have what you say you have? Who cares you go to church and an occasional Bible study? Both activities don’t make you Christ --when you leave both....
I’ll be completely honest as I share my initial thoughts during the recent leadership conference I attended. As Craig Groeschel and Andy Stanley were up on stage talking about their paths of getting to where God has them currently, I could not help but think about my path, which—not for lack of a better word, but for the only word that fits—has me categorized as an anomaly. The definition of anomaly: A deviation from the common rule....
There are so many times in this post-prison journey where I am in utter awe of God and how He works out His perfectly designed plan for our lives—often in spite of us. So for more than a year now, I find myself in numerous settings thinking ‘Only God!’ Today is another one of those days, as I am writing this from the beautiful town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and writing hastily I might add)! You see, we are between sessions of a conference called Catalyst: Practical Leadership Up close. And our executive leadership staff is here. And once again I have one of those moments as.....
