"You are saved by faith and faith alone." So many Christians have been "brought to Christ" by this statement. This simple easy message of "just say this prayer and you are good!" I myself have even been taught this. "If you would like to be a Christian just say this simple prayer along … Continue reading Let’s find it. (The Way, the Truth, and the Life)
Preface: Some said this was too intense for Middle Schoolers. My belief is that it's honestly intense for everyone at any point in their faith. I do believe it is important for people to realize that God's stories do not end in The Bible. They continue today through us. One of the messages I keep … Continue reading God’s power and Love (Talk)
This was the first talk for our Wyldlife club in 2011. For some kids this could have been the first exposure to God. I figured from now on I would upload whatever talk I give to here.

I had to write a paper about film for my film class...because I'm "narcissistic" I made it all bout me. It’s hard to believe that this all happened ten years ago. Ten freaking years ago I was sitting in a Burger King fast food line in Atlanta, eager to get my “Big Kid’s … Continue reading The Fellowship of the Burger King
Preface: Before reading this you may want to read my first blog post titled "me". Because this, for lack of a better term, is the sequel. This is perhaps one of the things I have wanted to write about most. It (like the other things I've written) will be lengthy. I hope you are given … Continue reading You were made for this.

I don't believe things just cause some cool hip pastor says them. I recently read the uber controversial book Love Wins by Rob Bell. (Link to the book\'s … Continue reading Heaven and Hell. (a rant by Devon Bailey)

He of course was referring to us practicing like champions pushing through our pain, giving it our all. This isn't just how you win a race, … Continue reading Weakness.
There is no other place that I spend more time thinking than in my car. I live on the other side of town from all my friends and activities so I tend to have a minimum of some twenty minute long drives to just be. I usually spend this time listening to my favorite … Continue reading “This is my message to you…”
