A fallen brother
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 In the battle for souls we all want to be on the frontlines. Whether wielding the sword knocking down strongholds, slaying demons or interceding for the lost…a warrior that’s what we want to be for God. But what happens to those […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c Last year I started doing p90x. I know, crazy, but I needed to get my weight under control for health reasons. I know there are way easier ways to lose weight but this was the most effective for me. I started […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 To give yourself up so that others may benefit. That loosely defines sacrifice in the context of our lives as Christians. To accomplish this we must first humble ourselves to God. Such a simple concept, yet it is counter-intuitive […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 I love to garden but I don’t like the amount of prep time it takes. This year was particularly difficult because weeds had consumed the garden. I ignored it day after day and the weeds got worse. I […]

Fri // Steel :: Integrity
Till I die I will not deny my integrity. – Job 27:5b I work for FedEx and as such, I have no supervision once I start making my deliveries. One thing that stands out about the type of work I do is that I have set deadlines for when packages have to be off my […]
Sat // Build :: Honor
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 As a male of Latin descent I was brought up in a culture where the men were served by the women. Literally I can remember my mom doing all the washing and cleaning and at dinner time she would […]
Fri // Steel :: Example
Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b Do as I say not as I do. Is that a phrase you uttered in your life? Why? Do you act differently at church than you do the rest of the week? Tony Evans […]
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 A few years ago I read a series of books entitled The Chronicles of the Door by Gene […]
