Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1c No one said it would be easy. The Christian life does not promise us a pain free life. It is definitely not the easy road. Since God’s ways are not our ways, much of what He wants us to do is […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
He says, Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. – Romans 12:1b The world around us constantly bombards us with counsel. People (including friends and relatives), television, magazines, web ads, emails, billboards, and even our own voices in our heads […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
“Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.” – Romans 12:1b Our bodies are God’s temple. Think about that for a minute.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well – Matthew 6:33 Who is the ruler of your kingdom? You? Money? Your wife or girlfriend? Your hobbies? Alcohol? Or is it God? He wants to be the ruler of your kingdom. In fact, He wants […]
Wed // Grit :: Influence
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 We must understand that we are leading whether we realize it or not. If you are a father, an employee, a boss, a son, whatever, the question is not, “Are you leading?”, rather it is “Are you leading well?” We are […]

Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Worshipping God should not be relegated to Sunday mornings only. It is an everyday, every moment, intentional act of will. It is loving God enough to live your life every moment the way […]
Thu // Warrior :: Engage
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 You can’t work on your car without getting grease on you. You also can’t go to war without […]
Sat // Build :: Invest
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. – Colossians 3:23 Who doesn’t like shortcuts? Just like the physical universe we tend to follow the path of least resistance. This can lead to incomplete projects and downright laziness. We need to man up and […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1c Life throws us curve balls at times. The road to success is filled with speed bumps. It is like an obstacle course, when all you want to do is get from point A to point B as smoothly and quickly as […]
Fri // Steel :: Truth
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Sometimes the truth hurts. Like a steel pan slapped upside your head. Sometimes that might be exactly what you need to wake you up after it rings your bell. Lies are snares; they enslave us. We think the lies […]
