You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The enemy doesn’t just confuse—he controls. Like a puppet master, he blinds people to truth, binds them in lies, and bends their lives to serve destruction. They aren’t just passively lost—they’re being actively led. But don’t forget: only the Gospel cuts the strings and sets captives free. “And they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will” (2 Timothy 2:26).
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...
Abolishing the Department of Education isn’t an attack on teachers, nor is it a blanket judgment on every employee within the system. But let’s be honest—the results speak for themselves. Since the slow march of a Marxist, godless agenda through our institutions began, our children have paid the price. The U.S. Department of Education has...
(Book #1 of the Core Conviction Series--Imprisoned by Peace) Where have I been most of my young life thus far? I have been all over the country in my travels with soccer, from childhood as a novice player to adulthood as a professional athlete. I have been to so many great colleges and universities, visiting those campuses either for pleasure or sports-related activities. I have even lived in some beautiful cities in my day. But where have I been while...
Some may call it an epiphany, but I choose to call it a symphony, because these thoughts are music to my soul. I didn’t have to write this blog, I got to. I don't have to wake up and get in the Word, I get to. I don’t have to share my heart as I speak in schools, it’s a blessing to. I don’t have to prepare messages for church...
These thoughts were written in March of 2013 while I was incarcerated at Mid-State Correctional Facility. As I re-read them now all of this time later, I realize they are still appropriate. These thoughts are still the desire of my heart ("that Jesus may increase and I may decrease"): "I just want to be avoided or overlooked by my peers and especially by the...
I always try to write out of a storehouse of my own experiences and feelings. I mean, when I present hope as being the anchor of the soul through a struggle, I'm not just throwing out a platitude. I’m doing so from having lived through the paralyzing feel of struggle. Many struggles. However I have learned that hope is a handle, that allow...
