Tuesday// Fuel :: Prayer
Title Just pray …pray continually – 1 Thess 5:17 Have you ever run out of gas? I have. I wasn’t paying attention to my gas gauge, and the next thing you know, the engine just stopped. Continually watching to see how much gas you have is not something you do automatically. It’s probably […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Grit under Tough Circumstances Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c Years ago, my youngest daughter had the opportunity to intern with an organization that runs orphanages in Haiti.

Wednesday// Grit:: Influence
Title-The influence of actions Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 One of my favorite movies is Gladiator. One of my favorite lines in that movie is, “What we do in life echoes in eternity.” So powerful, so true. Men, what is your life echoing right now? Do all […]
Mon // Surrender:: Pride
Title: Have you done it? Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 How many times have you done it? You buy something, and the most dreaded words to a man are on the packaging. “Some assembly required.” These words are enough to bring some of us to our knees. We […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: 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 front lines. 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 […]

Title: When We Serve As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 When I was a little boy, I loved to work on cars with my dad. My contributions at first were no more than fetching tools and cold drinks for him. As I grew into my teenage years, […]
