Slowness & Patience

Alva

I was inspired by God again today. I watched a video which was basically the “story” of an old skateboarding legend. His name is Tony Alva. Mainly, I liked him for his unique style (and the cool designs of the skate decks). I didn’t know him though. As a kid, I only saw a tiny view of who he was in Thrasher magazine. Like most people I come into contact with, I had no idea [...]

1.1.11

knowGod

One. One. One One. All ones. It’s kinda like starting over again. Here’s my short resolution list for 2011. – DO (don’t just “think” about doing, actually DO) – Always rely on God for direction. – Continue reading & studying the Word everyday. – Work in more regular scripture based family time so we can learn more TOGETHER. – Give more. – Love more. – Keep pushing further outside my comfort zone. My continual prayer [...]

A Commitment Letter

Commitment as a Christian

This was given to my wife and I on the day of our Baptism. It was a letter from an unknown African Pastor (at least that’s what it said). It’s a fantastically written account of their Commitment to Christ. “I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His. I won’t [...]

Who’s In Charge…?

Let God Steer

Even though I lived most of my life with worry, one day, I finally gave up. And when I say “gave up,” I don’t mean it in the literal sense. I mean, I gave my worry up to God. Since my walk began, and more specifically, when I gave myself wholeheartedly to God, I went from falling victim to worry, to having hardly any worry at all. By giving Him 100% of myself, I begin [...]

Just Believing… or Following?

Follower

Yesterday I heard someone say they think there’s a difference between calling yourself a Christian or a Believer. Their point (I believe) was that anyone can call themselves a Christian but it’s more “REAL” to call yourself Believer if you’ve “got faith”. I found that thought interesting. In many ways I totally agree. The term Christian gets thrown around so much it’s unfortunately become a simple label which doesn’t always have the best example coming [...]

A God Moment

Clouds from above

I’ve been focusing so much on God that I’ve definitely begun to lose my ego. I’m humble and peaceful. It’s pretty incredible really and something I’ve never experienced before. My trust in Him is giving me these abilities that I never thought were possible. So I was on a plane from Atlanta to Boston earlier this week. I was reading a fantastic book by Mike Yaconell. He called himself a Kmart Minister. That alone gives [...]

Just the Start

Drive Home

I’m Jason Davenport. I was one of those people who thought they had it all figured out. Someone who thought science and undeniable proof was the bridge to logic and understanding in this world. I wasn’t raised in a Church, nor to necessarily follow God. I was definitely one of those doubters you run into form time to time. Really the whole topic just made me kinda laugh. I thought the world was about stuff, [...]
