Life Journeys

When Your Approval Rating Is Being Tested

The devil likes to diminish our sense of identity, purpose, and value to entice us to build ourselves up instead of trusting in God! "What good are you?" is a demonic question not worthy of consideration! It’s not what you’ve made of yourself but what you’ve let God make of you that matters. Rest!!

Fight The Enemy On Your Terms

Temptation and failure challenges you to find more of your life in God and less in the world. Don’t beat yourself up over not having arrived yet or let the enemy deny your identity in Christ. Stop fighting the symptoms. God’s drawing you closer. You’re created to be complete only in Christ. 

When Relying On Ourselves & Others Isn’t Enough

When God fills our soul, nothing this world takes from us need matter. Stress and defensiveness are the soul's longing for God. If loving people is wearing you out, that’s your soul’s thirst for God. We’re created to need God and trust that He’ll take care of everything. He can fulfill in us what no man can.

Faith When God’s Silent & Life’s Hard

God’s silence is often heaven’s call to walk by faith. The source of faith is not the absence of hardship. Suffering does not erase the degree of God’s faithfulness. It tests our faithfulness. Faith doesn't wonder about what God will do but what we will do. Don’t use faith to argue with God. Trust Him.

Make God Great Again In America

Fixing the side effects of a nation’s corrupt values will not make America great again. Our future’s not determined by how well we adhere to the Constitution but to God’s Word. It’s a false freedom that leans on the First Amendment while living an immoral life. This battle’s about faith and values, not liberty.

Enough “Milk Toast” Christianity

Don’t go out in public until you can get into a foxhole with your political enemy and be willing to die to save their life. How? The best time to establish love for your enemy is when your soul is humbled from your own sin. It’s God’s love that builds faith in us. Let His love in you do the same for others.

Suffering Turned Into Joy

I’ve talked to those who have truly suffered: people in Nazi concentration camps. Suffering didn’t mean there was no God. It strengthened faith amidst hopelessness. Some say pain means there’s no God, when in reality it’s often a pathway to Him. It's not our suffering, but our sin that keeps us in darkness. 

Confronted With The Impossibility of True Christianity

Overcome evil with good. Love your enemies. You think it's hard, but it's harder on the soul to hate than it is to sacrifice pride. Your cross will be the world’s chance to see God through you. Live your life because of who you are, not because of who others aren’t. Your hate gives them power over you. 

When Death Speaks Louder Than Words

When Charlie was killed, God’s word came quickly, “You’ve seen what man can do. Now get ready for what I can do.”  The deafening sound of mercy rang out. Forgiveness is forged in blood - the price of freedom given by the truly free soul. It’s time to liberate America by loving our enemies at any cost.

Living An Identity That Can’t Be Stopped

Find something worth dying for, and then spend your life living for something that will last for eternity. Sacrifices that come from love and by faith forge an identity that can save our eternal lives and nation. It means living the truth, not just claiming it. Hell’s gates won’t prevail against you.
