Sat // Build :: Honor
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 Men who give honor to others often receive it back.

Fri // Steel :: Integrity
Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b When I was a kid, porn was something I had to go out and pursue. Now, pornography has to be avoided. When searching the most innocent of terms online, I hesitate to let my […]
Wed // Grit :: Character
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Corruption feels like something is rotting. What once had a noble purpose has turned inward for personal gain at the expense of others. And it doesn’t happen quickly. It can be a slow rot. You might even have some friends that have been […]
