Fri // Steel :: Integrity
Title: Satan will try anything Till I die I will not deny my Integrity – Job 27:5b Job was asked by those closest to him to compromise his integrity and take the easy way out, it was confusing to him. We all know what it’s like to have our integrity challenged. In the spiritual battle, Satan […]
Wed // Grit :: Influence
Title: Men of Example Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Most of us probably don’t see ourselves as men, of example, but we can’t think that way. We are examples that are visible every day, whether we accept it or not. The sports news story reports, “LeBron James […]
Sat // Build :: Invest
Title: Time Whatever you do, work at it with all your hearts, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. Colossians 3:23 When we hear the word invest, one of the first things that come to mind is time. Investing in something is a commitment of time. Time is one of the most valuable […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Gods got it covered Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his mighty power – James 5:16 In battle, courageous acts are often a reaction of fear. But responding out of fear, we don’t know what the outcome will be. Is the result going to be a good thing or a […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: Don’t put on a shelf 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 It seems the Bible has become marginalized, put on a shelf or […]
Mon // Surrender :: Obey
Title: God knows best This has been my practice: I obey your precepts – Psalm 119.56 To obey is to submit. The idea of obeying or submitting to someone more significant than ourselves seems to be all but lost. When something inside, say’s “nobody tells me what to do!” we might have a bit of a pride issue. A precept is a commandment, often a moral or conduct-related directive. […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Rest
Title: Rest is promised Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 The year is almost half over. Are you able to look back to identify times when you could have called on Him for rest, and you didn’t, or maybe you did, and that’s […]
Fri // Steel :: Example

As men, we look up to someone older and wiser; behind us, we have younger people that look to […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Long suffering Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c What an example we have in Joseph and his story in the Old Testament. Talk about long-suffering. I am not sure I can even comprehend what long-suffering looks like, not like what Joseph went through. Most of the troubles […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Good Fear For those who exalt they will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 Fear. Not the type of emotion when facing something terrifying but the fear that we feel toward an authoritative figure. Its called reverence. When we exalt God, we are recognizing His position. He is […]
