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...
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...
Out of the Overflow

A Challenge:
If you would like to be challenged along with me, I am currently taking my time through a series by David Platt called “Radical”. I must provide a warning though, this series will most likely challenge everything you’ve ever seen/experienced in “american christianity”. It is a call to look at what the Bible says about...
Talker vs Doer
I watched a movie I do not recommend this evening. But the opening monologue was so powerful and actually the most memorable part of the whole movie. So much so that it still has me thinking as I try to sleep. Allow me to share: You got two kinds of people in this world. You’ve...
The Least of These…
Today I went to the post office. As I pulled up and parked, I noticed a man that seemed to be homeless approaching the future (aka, my van). My window was down and I was still finishing up what I needed to do before I went inside. My first thought was, “I really don’t feel...
Who's With Me?
Here is an excerpt from my daily devotional Jesus Calling: Try to stay conscious of me as you go step by step through this day. My Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. My final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: ‘Surely I am with you always’. That promise was...
