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...
Palm Sunday! I am humbled to know my role as it pertains to the “Triumphant Entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem. The position that guarantees me His peace that sits upon me and His presence that always has my back! You might think that the best role is as one who holds the palm branch, waving it as a sign of victory. But that can’t be the case, because a week later that same position that yelled “Hosanna”—save now—was yelling “Crucify Him right now!” Or perhaps....
I just recently spoke in Concord, California at the prestigious Every 15 Minutes Program, held at Carondelet High School & De La Salle High School. This impressive program offers experiences that simulate real-life risks involved with drinking and driving, and texting while driving. The mood is somber and includes a mock funeral with caskets, pallbearers, and even a simulated crash scene, enacted the day before, which replays on the big screen. The room is filled with gloom. It is a stellar attempt to show the real life horrific consequences of drinking and driving. However, the show....
Anytime you decide to take a stand in LIFE, you’re going to have critics. Anytime you commit to leading the WAY, you’re going to have cynics. And anytime you unashamedly present the TRUTH, you’re going to have skeptics. What do these “ics” have in common? Well, most of the time, they don’t know the WAY that Jesus went, the TRUTH that Jesus spoke, or the LIFE that Jesus gave. They don’t know HIM; so don’t let their opinion slow you down from being all about HIM. Choose Jesus and you’ll want for nothing. Refuse Jesus and you’ll want everything, but....
Why do I speak out about my tragedy? Not to glamorize the recklessness, but to promote the perspective shift; To instigate integrity and demonstrate accountability. I close every assembly with this parable for the audience to consider: "There was a hiker lost in the wilderness, who happened upon another man, a pioneer, resting his back against a tree. The lost hiker, frantic and anxious, approached the pioneer to ask him if he could help him find his way out. The pioneer replied, "I cannot help you find your way out, that is ultimately up to you. But I can tell you of paths that you certainly should not take. I can tell you of ways that led me nowhere. I can tell you of mud bogs, snakes pits, and briar patches that you must steer clear from. But how to get out, well, that's up to you." The hiker was confused and......
