2 Samuel 22:1-3 ESV

[1] And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. [2] He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, [3] my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.

James 1:2-4 ESV

[2] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, [3] for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. [4] And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Important Page Update!

We realize that this page has not been very active. The past year and a half has been a roller coaster ride for not only myself, but also my entire family, that has not only put our faith to the test, but has also consumed much of our time and attention. However, thanks to our Heavenly Father and his infinite goodness, we are not only doing well, we are thriving! So much so, that we have decided on making some huge changes that will directly effect this page.

In the coming weeks, this page will be combined with another ministry page. While we will be keeping the same name, for now anyway, we will be working in association with Rooftop Ministries International. For more information on this new ministry, we encourage you to check out TheRooftop.org

For the last few months, my wife and I have been working with Rooftop Ministries on a couple of projects, one of which we will begin to post on this page in the coming weeks. Soon you will begin seeing episodes of their flagship ministry series, called "Rooftop Perspectives", hosted by John Whaley & Michael Brewer, which can be seen weekly on their Youtube channel; The Rooftop TV.

We are excited about our partnership with Rooftop Ministries and look forward to sharing with you what God is doing, both in the United States and around the globe, not only as we work with Rooftop Ministries, but also as we release the projects that God has laid on our own hearts, here in the United States and abroad, namely the Philippines.

You will begin to see some of these changes within just a few weeks. Other changes will take more time to rollout seeing as my wife and I will be traveling to the Philippines for most of the month of July. Once we are back in the United States, you will begin to see a flurry of new content on a daily and weekly basis. It is our hope & prayer that you will stick around for these changes, at least until we have everything running smoothly, which should take place during the month of August and no later than September.

If you could keep us in your prayers, for God's guidance and for protection as we travel, it would be greatly appreciated.

Love, the Abide Daily Team

It doesn't matter how long a person has been saved, how much scripture that they can quote, or whether or not a person has attended a Bible college, all of our accolades and everything we think or believe about the Bible means very little in comparison to our proximity to Christ. He is the source of all that God requires of us. He is the key to eternal life. Apart from him, we are nothing and can do nothing (John 15).

In fact, He, alone, is our salvation. We play no role in it other than to place our complete trust in Him. That is our identity in Christ, nothing more. Our salvation is not about us but, rather, what God can and will do through us. We simply get to enjoy the presence of God and get to be an eye witness to His miraculous work, first hand. He does the work, we get to enjoy the ride! That (He) alone, my friends, is our portion as believers.

If a person needs more assurance, then they are attempting to make salvation about themselves and their desired outcome for their lives, instead of Jesus Christ. This has been the folly of many Churches, Pastors, & Preachers over the last 25 years and why so many self-professing Christians appear to be so self-centered.

Man is not saved by works. I would even argue that man is not even saved by what many perceive to be grace, because it has been redefined over the years by some to mean something that it was never intended to be.

Rather, a person is saved because the Holy Spirit of Christ is living on the inside. He is the righteousness of Christ whose presence makes us righteous/redeemed. He is the holiness of Christ whose presence makes holy/sanctified. And He is the resurrection of Christ, whose presence will raise us from the dead just as Christ rose on the third day.

We can not possess the righteousness of Christ apart from the presence of the Spirit of Christ in our lives. The Holy Spirit is the "Divine seed" that is essential for salvation, holiness, and Christian living.
