John 15 is a passage of scripture that has been a constant encouragement and challenge in my life.  "Remain In Me" is both a powerful command and an incredible invitation.  I've often wrestled with what it looks like to remain and even more often with how to go about it.  In a world filled with distractions, expectations, and a constant battle between flesh and spirit I often find it hard to keep focused on Jesus.  The key lies not in our ability to remain, but in our ability to surrender and allow him to remain in us.

This song is one that I wrote in the summer of 2008, and it's lyrics still ring incredibly true for me.  I pray that as you listen this song allows you to come to a place of honesty in the presence of a God who calls you to Himself.  I am reminded as I post it that the call to remain is followed by a promise "Remain in Me, and I will remain in you." John 15:4

My post on 'Trendy Justice ' has garnished a fair bit of attention since I posted it. Recently it was published in the Island Insight section of the BC Christian News .
