"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." 

Bible Devotions

  • Our Hands His Glory.

    “May he do all that a creation is able to do, to give glory to the creator.” These were the words Arthur Burt prayed over me a while ago at a meeting here in Charlotte. He has aged lately and was not as sharp as he had been in the past but the spirit of God was still very Read more

  • How Great is the Father’s Love?

    I’m off work today, cleaning and straightening, praying and praising, playing and reviling. I have realized today how the love of the Father surpasses understanding. My dog’s name is Sadie she is the sweetest, smartest dog and I just flat out love that dog. But there is slight problem, She doesn’t know how much I Read more

  • My Heart is Like a Comb Over

    Well, I began my graduate level theological studies and immediately I was bombarded with the spirit of pride. Now as I have fought off that beast, for the mean time, I find myself frustrated with many strange and beautiful perspectives that challenge me and some perspectives that just flat out frustrate me. This morning in my intimate Read more

  • An Apocalyptic Mind

    Hello friends!! Sorry for spending so much time away from the blog. Honestly I have been having a hard time finding time to write and I have been kind of torn by the reaction or lack there of to the past couple of blog entries I have written. Anyways, I’m back and I have a Read more

  • Concealing Our Identities as Disciples

    Many months back I wrote a number of blog entries with the theme of the Martyr. As I continue to run this race the cross is always at the center of my life. Sometimes it is a comfort representing my forgiveness through Christ and other times it is the torture device that I must embrace Read more

  • Listen…..He is speaking.

    A number of months ago I was lying on my bed halfway sleeping when I had a dialog with God. I remember it very vividly because it was almost dreamlike yet very real… it happened on the edge of sleep and on the edge of consciousness. I was having a conversation with someone, (who later Read more

  • Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done…

    My friend Erin has been visiting her grandmother a lot recently in the nursing home. Her Grandmother had sold her house and was now fighting depression and having trouble finding any joy in her newly acquired nursing home. She complained about everything and blamed everybody. Until something miraculous happened, she came to terms with her own Read more

  • Invalids? Not in Christ’s Eyes.

    “You know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—, just as the son of man did not come to be Read more

  • Silence Has No Language Barrier

    Recently I have been struggling with pride before man and God. The scriptures say that the Lord resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. So especially leading in leading others He began to remove some of the grace that I had begun to think was my own. It’s amazing that God desires to Read more

  • In the Garden

    Prelude: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a revolutionary transformational idea. As presented in scripture it is very clear cut in regard to what it is, but there are many very different ways of interpreting and implementing that truth. In this blog I plan on presenting the Incarnational Gospel, I want to clarify that as Read more
