ABIDE

Devotional writing for the ordinary work of following Jesus.

Reflections on Scripture, grace, identity, surrender, and learning to live from what God has already given us instead of striving for what we think we still have to earn.

What is Abide?

Abide is a collection of devotional reflections for people who want to know God more deeply in the middle of ordinary life.

I write about Scripture, identity, grace, striving, surrender, and the sometimes-slow work of learning to believe what God says is true.

Nothing particularly polished is required here. Just a Bible, a little honesty, and a willingness to stay awhile.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” - John 15:5 (NIV)
