You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Trials aren’t setbacks, they’re setups for growth. God allows testing to stretch your faith and develop spiritual endurance. And having joy in hardship isn’t denial, it’s trust in God’s refining process; because the goal isn’t survival but maturity. “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4).
When God forgives, God restores. He doesn't just separate us from our sin, but He also completes our lives in His Son. You see, the believer not only receives forgiveness, but they also receive God's righteousness. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and...
We often pray for deliverance from trials, but we really need to pray for endurance while we go through them. You see, it's usually within the greatest pressures of life that we are afforded the opportunity to experience the greatest presence of God. "Blessed is...
It is true that trials, difficulties, and specifically brokenness are a means by which faith is exercised and increased. Such adversity is a way to know God more deeply. So when trials come and our innermost soul is tested, we shall say: “I will wait and see what good God will...
It’s easy to think you are true when the standard is you. Yet the truth is this, that all men are but false when the standard is the cross. You see, "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God," and it is at the cross of Jesus Christ where the playing field is leveled and man is either...
The conversion and continuum of our faith in Jesus Christ is that we are delivered out of the house of bondage to one day dwell in the house of the Lord. And thus, while we are in-between one house and the next, let us be content as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever” (Psalm 23:6).
Self-righteousness damns. And only Christ’s righteousness redeems. In other words, so many believe they will be saved by their good works in life, but the Bible explains how we are only saved by God's work in Christ. This doesn't mean we shouldn't do good works, but it does...
Many are reacting to the recent exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, but the real issue isn’t politics, it’s perspective. More specifically, it’s a lack of biblical perspective. Despite their influence, both men reveal a limited grasp of Scripture. Tucker views everything through an America-first lens, opposing any foreign policy...
I’m squeezing these thoughts out as quickly and shapely as possible, because my window to write today suddenly shrunk. You see, I just realized today is Wednesday, and Sarah and I have to make our weekly trip to our marriage mentors house. Yep! I like the way that came out—“our marriage mentors.” We are so grateful for Scott and Amy Reef, who have been....
Moving on up! Literally, about 25 miles up the Garden State Parkway! Sarah and I recently made the official move to Ocean City, New Jersey, where we are presently calling 10th & Boardwalk our home. I know the season is changing, which will slow the pace of life around here, but it’s still pretty cool to be living above the boardwalk, where the beach makes up our front lawn! Now here is the amazing grace about this place. When I first got out of prison....
I am returning from Memphis, Tennessee today, where Sarah and I spent the past three days on the move. It was a long-awaited reunion for Sarah and her friends, and obviously, it was the first time for me to meet everyone from Sarah’s Memphis days. Only a handful of them were able to make the journey north last November for our wedding, so this trip south was much anticipated for everyone. And of course, it provided the privilege to visit Sarah’s church—High Point Memphis, which I had heard so much about from the Peterson family. And what an experience that was! Not because it was.....
I don’t ever write to brag, but at times I will boast BUT--SOLEY--in the name and work of the Lord. There is a proverb that has come to life for me again and again: “A mans gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16). Some translations say your gift or ability will usher you before “great men”, “important people” and even “princes”. I have experienced this ever so abundantly since my release from prison. It was this exact time last year, where I was invited....
