Friday // Steel :: Truth
Title: Hidden Sin Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Jesus said the truth will set us free, so on the flip side, that means anything that is not the truth can chain us. Revealing hidden sin can be difficult, but it is how […]
Tuesday // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Lord, teach us to pray.” This was a request made by the disciples. Perhaps they had learned from Jesus that prayer could be a very personal discipline instead of just a religious practice. Their request to Jesus suggests a newfound dimension of prayer […]
Thursday // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Satan’s Schemes Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his mighty power. – Eph. 6:10 Scripture tells us that Satan has schemes and plans to beat us up and wear us down. Also, part of this plan is to try to separate us from God and make us feel discouraged. So, […]
Tuesday // Fuel :: Word
Title: All of the time. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Hebrews 4:12 Reading the Bible is part of the foundation of being a Christian, and how we read the Bible matters. If we are building something, would we skimp on the material of the foundation? Absolutely not. Mature believers have learned that it’s better to spend five unhurried minutes […]

Wednesday // Grit :: Resolve
Title: Determined to Serve As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 We all know what it feels like to hit the midweek slump. We usually give it a thumbs up or thumbs down based on how well it is going or not going. Either way, we need to be an example and serve the LORD. The word resolve means determined to do something.

Sunday // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Christ in the center For those who exalt they will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 Whom do we praise? That is a loaded question. My focus is often on what is at the center of my life. It could be my job, kids, family, or even myself. […]
Thursday // Warrior :: Battle
Title: God is with you For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c The devil attacks us when we’re alone because he knows we are most vulnerable when others aren’t around us. He also thinks this is when we’re at our most vulnerable state. He will use whatever he can to […]

Title: Closing the Gap. So I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 Real Men Take Action. It was a cold, wet, snowy day. So I went back to bed. I had been doing great with my workout routine. I would get up early and […]

But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well – Matthew 3:13a A Man’s kingdom: The thought of giving all control over to anyone, even God, seems unmanly.
