I am absolutely getting rocked by a song tonight…I’ve listened to it on repeat 10 times and counting. It’s called “Never Once” and it’s by Matt Redman. If by chance Matt gets to this site, I just want to say “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. I needed this song tonight. Let me...

The Burning Ones
I’ve recently run across a song by Jesus Culture called Burning Ones (youtube) that I cannot stop listening to. It is my prayer. And it is my prayer for you. Here inside Your presence Taken by the wonder of You Here inside Your glory We give our lives fully to You We cry Holy,...
How Jesus Loved
I’m still thinking through this idea of how to love like Jesus based on John 13:34, 35. The other night at Bible study at the Mission, the guys and I started a list of the ways that Jesus loved his disciples: He served them. [John13:2-17] He taught them. [John 15:15] He challenged them. [John 6:35-68]...
John 13:34, 35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. So…the question is: How did Jesus love his disciples? Because if we figure out the...
Words and Works
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The WORDS that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His WORKS. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe...

Teachable and Humble
I am a just a man: called royalty by the King. [1 John 3:1-3] esv I am a sinner: but lovingly forgiven. [Colossian 1:13-14] nkjv I am not perfect: but completely accepted. [Ephesians 1:3-6] nkjv I am a work in progress: that He is faithful to complete. [Philippians 1:6] I have been challenged the last...
Atlanta Mission Update!
I wanted to give you all an update on what’s happening at Atlanta Mission. Most of you know this already, but since I’ve been working at the homeless shelter, my main responsibilities have been centered around relationships. In fact, when I was hired my boss said, ”The only thing I want you to do until further...
How you can pray for me:
Since I’ve been working at the homeless shelter, we’ve been doing Bible studies Monday-Thursday for about an hour each night. We’ve made our way through the book of James, then 1 John, and now we’re in the book of Colossians. As I was studying the other day, the very beginning of the 1st chapter records...
Out of the Overflow
One publication said this: 1500 pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in the church. – First Cause Just for the heck of it I googled “burnt out ministry”, and I wasn’t surprised to find that there were plenty articles and resources for pastors and leaders who felt...
