You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
When you stand for truth, don’t be surprised when you’re thrown into the fire. But it’s in the furnace that God proves He’s with you. He honors conviction over compromise, even when the crowd walks away. So don’t flinch, He’s worth it. “But if not, let it be known… that we do not serve your gods” (Daniel 3:18).
What type of activities in your life need to decrease so that intimacy with Christ can increase? What "focuses" need to shrink so that God's presence can expand? Consider how an intentional decrease can lead to an exponential increase. More of Him and less of me. "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30).
A few friends who understand your tears are much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your laughs. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity" (Proverbs 17:17).
We can own our guilt because the Lord has atoned for our guilt. We can disown our regret because it is impossible to change past events. And thus, after we have owned our guilt and disowned our regret, we can hone in on grace because our...
Building your house on the Rock doesn't exempt you from the storms of life, it only prepares you for them. God has a plan with even our difficulties; and He doesn't need us to understand them, He just wants us to lean on Him to withstand them. Thus, building...
Joy may be seen with a smile—but deep and abiding joy is clearly seen through a trial. You see, joy becomes the composure of the soul when we surrender to the truth that God is always in control. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you...
Great souls are ones that experience great sorrows. We may not like the feel of a sorrow, but when placed into the hands of God, we can begin to heal and become stronger for tomorrow. Thus, in God's economy, no pain is wasted, and everything is...
Christian, use your brain. I’m not talking to the world; I’m talking to true believers. Discernment isn’t just a spiritual gift; it’s a spiritual discipline. It’s forged through...
(Written by 350 lb Little John--pic from 2003 in Rahway State prison yard): I always thought power came from fear, or carrying a gun, or wielding a variety of weapons like bats, black jacks, knives or brass knuckles. I was mostly the brawn and seldom the brains and I liked it that way. It was much easier-- beat this one, break that one, damage him or worse. My life as a mob enforcer wasn’t to try to figure things out or set up complex schemes. My sole reason for being was to instill fear into people so they ‘would’ think twice about not paying a debt, a gambling bet or the vig on some shy money. I instilled fear because of my enforcer tactics: smack people around, beat someone....
Alright, alright, I hear all the buzz. We praise strength and those willing to go to great lengths to “be true to themselves.” But quite frankly, I don’t have enough time to “keep up with the Kardashians” or this worlds crazy shenanigans. I will say this however--I do think the “Caitlin Jenner” transition is mind boggling; but I am in no position to judge another persons journey. Besides, Jesus loves him just as much as He loves ALL. There is not a single individual that can escape the Savior’s Love, for He died for the world. So let’s get that straight. Having said that, I must add that when we pursue a path, we must be careful not to miss the boat, because we are not the “captains” of...
This blog is for me. It’s my reminder to remember where I once was and the work that only God could have ever accomplished. It’s so easy to forget the past places we’ve been and even the past faces we’ve seen. For me, the place was prison; and for this blog, the face is a young man named Tommy. When I first met Tommy, his nickname was Toast. Tommy Toast. And he “earned” this name because he spent a lot of time being “burnt out.” You see, Tommy was a self-proclaimed heroin addict. His addiction made heroin his salvation. However, his pursuit for the false salvation of drugs only left him so high that his actions consequentially led him to be so low. Oh so low. How low can you go? Well, this level has only one condition and position lower, and that is.....
Oh Lord, I do not know why You have found favor with me, nor can I ever explain properly how gracious and merciful You have been with my life, for there are no words that could express such magnitude, such greatness, such splendor. Your NAME alone is worthy to be praised and adored. With no solitary act behind it and just three letters on a piece of paper, G-O-D, is worth more than life itself. Your NAME holds more weight than this world and at the sound of your NAME alone, the hearts of mankind shatter and nations crumble. But You declare more than just....
