You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
Faith that is not tested cannot be trusted. Trials don’t weaken real faith, they refine it, making it stronger for the next battle. Don’t fear the fire if the Lord is in it with you. “That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ..." (1 Peter 1:7).
Without affliction, we often don’t change our direction. As David wrote, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your word” (Psalm 119:67). In other words, God will allow an affliction to grace our lives in order to move us closer to His life.
On the cross, love won. On the cross, sin is gone. On the cross, redemption started. On the cross, death was thwarted. On the cross, He bore our shame. On the cross, He knew our name. On the cross, Oh what a Savior. On the cross, no grace is...
The very One the world wants dead is the only One who died for the world. You see, the mob today still yells "crucify Him" in the way they reject the One True God. And yet, though the world rejects the Lord, that doesn't stop how the Lord...
What happened between man's greatest evil against God (the crucifixion) and God's greatest good for man (the Resurrection)? Jesus took our sin and shame to the deepest grave, He conquered death and made a way for all the world to...
Jesus spoke words of grace from the cross of shame. He said, "Father forgive them" even as we hung Him. In other words, there is no failure of ours that will ever speak louder than the character of God. His forgiveness is greater than our sinfulness. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34).
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...
Comparative Analysis: Christianity vs. Islam Revelation and Textual Integrity: The Bible vs. The Quran • Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from the angel Gabriel for about 23 years, starting in 609 AD. The result was a sea of contradictions...
Raise your hand in the air if you love Jesus! Well, that’s not exactly the question I asked to get the students to raise their hands. Not because I don’t want to publicize the gospel of grace, but only because I am not allowed to evangelize in the public school place. At least not with the outright message, but I do it with my social media messages that I write out. You see, if I can get the students to follow me outside of the school system, then I can introduce them to the only One who makes me cool through His wisdom—“wisdom is justified by her children” (Matthew 11:19)—Cool and composed as I present to the youth, but also cool as in hip like a rappers rhymes in the booth. I’m not “bigging” myself up, but I am.......
Sarah and I were recently in NYC for an event in conjunction with the NBA All-Star Weekend. Other than the bitter cold weather conditions, the climate of the “meet and greet” was fashionably attractive. Being in the midst of athletes like Terrell Owens, NBA great Isaiah Thomas, a few current Green Bay Packer’s, and a former Philadelphia Eagle, as well as NYC models and music artists, Sarah and I mingled like we belonged; even though we didn’t. I mean, Sarah was the prettiest there, and I was, well, the most infamous there, but we were still.....
Let’s not get things twisted—but it’s time to see the grey. A Christ-centered individual doesn’t condemn and contort things, but he does have the responsibility to humbly and carefully expound on things. So, please understand I’m not attacking anyone’s character, but I am trying to expose the innate danger of the erotic persuasion luring many to a false sense of what true love looks like: and it’s not in the pictorial of Fifty Shades of Grey. I don’t need to read a book to know that the ideas being idealized are harmful and morally bankrupt. Just as I don’t need to put....
“A mans gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16). In other words, blessed is the man who realizes his gift is from God and that God is the one who makes the room for him to stand before great men…or even better-- to stand before children. This past Sunday jumpstarted a series of speaking (and writing) engagements for me, that truly highlights the truth of the above proverb. Having the blessed opportunity to speak about “David and Goliath” to the children’s church at Cape Fellowship in Cape May Court House, really brought a tangible joy to what God has called me to do. Seeing such childlike sincerity.....
