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...
Here I sit on my comfortable couch with a 55-inch flat screen tv in front of me and my state of the art MacBook on top of me. I just controlled the lighting to my liking and before I go any further—please excuse me—I’m going to grab a quick drink and snack from the fridge…Okay, I’m back now, still comfortable, but at a loss for words to type. And I’m humbly reminded how this is the complete opposite of how I used to write while in prison. Yet I never had an ounce of trouble writing a full page of deep thoughts graciously surrounded by peace in the midst of so much chaos and so little comfort. Back then, I typed on an antiquated....
“If you have any negative questions, comments, or concerns, please forward them to my Complaint Department. His name is Little John.” ✝ I say that jokingly in assemblies sometimes, and it certainly gets the audience laughing; because at this point in the presentation, they have already heard me share a story about Little John and I, which involves some prison drama and a tense showdown with some gang members. Of course I couple the story with his picture to drive the oxymoron home about Little John--not being so little......
Our performance doesn’t enhance or reduce God’s faithfulness. And with that opening sentence, it is my utmost privilege to report that God is still in the salvaging business despite our idea behind our own personal usefulness. Sarah and I recently participated in a youth event in Pennsylvania where I was the keynote speaker of the night. I’ve done this particular “presentation” before, which requires PowerPoint slides and embedded video; for it is the most structured way to tell my story without getting caught up in certain areas and timelines. Time is always ticking....
I am currently in Paramus, NJ, where this hotel will be Sarah and mines home away from home for the next 3 days. I am up here for several assemblies at area schools, funded by State Farm, and in conjunction with the Be Still Foundation. Now that school is back in session, my speaking engagement schedule is in full throttle. I will actually be doing about 26 engagements before the New Year, not counting ministry-speaking platforms. Again, I make mention of this busyness because....
