Jesus, Only Jesus

by Mark Milioni

I recently handed down the keys of my man-van to my son. As he was cleaning it out, he found my homemade CD collection. My children have mocked me for years because of the names I give to my playlists. I don’t know why these names have brought them such great enjoyment: Jams, Sweet Jams, Driving Jams, Pretty Good Jams, Best Jams — you get the idea. These playlists contain songs that have touched my heart in the deepest ways. God has used these songs to minister to me in my times of greatest triumph and in my times of deepest sorrow. Each song takes me back to a specific time and place and reminds me of the goodness and faithfulness of God. Maybe I should rename them, “Powerful, Awesome Majestic Songs of Praise and Worship that Draw Me Closer to God.” No, not enough room on the cover. “Jams” will have to suffice. My kids will continue to laugh.

My most recent playlist consists of just one song, “Jesus, Only Jesus”, written by Matt Redman. Thank you to a friend for introducing this to me.

Who has the power to raise the dead?
Who can save us from our sin?
He is our hope, our righteousness
Jesus, only Jesus

“Jesus, Only Jesus.” These three words sum up the purpose of Baptist Bible College. Jesus is our only hope. At BBC, we teach people how to take this message to our world. Here are a few ways you can become involved:

• Primed: October 3-4 Primed is more than a conference! It is an experience that will challenge young men to rise to the standard of Biblical manhood. We believe that when men come together seeking God, great things will happen.
• Next Generation Conference/Alumni Days: This newly styled conference features BBC graduates to our students and alumni. This year we are pleased to welcome Tim and Cindy Hawks from Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, TX. We will have several others sharing and having fun with the students.
• College Days: November 5-7 College Days is an opportunity to experience BBC and all that it has to offer you as a student.

Matching Gift: You still have time to participate in our matching gift offer! If we can raise $600,000 by October 31 then it will be matched by the Rawlings Foundation. You can give online today at www.gobbc.edu to help us share Jesus, only Jesus, around the world.
