Values in you head
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 When we commit to God, we are committing to a way of life that honors God. How do we know what honors God? It’s not anything we need to make up on our own, it is simple and […]
Defined by what we think
Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character. – 1 Corinthians 15:33 I think every parent knows this scripture, how many times have we heard this growing up and how many times have we used it on our kids. That’s because the importance of surrounding ourselves with good friends is important. Our character can be […]
Decisions everyday
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 probably comes to mind is time. Investing in something is a commitment of time of some sort. Time is one of […]
I forget to exalt him
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 To exalt is to praise and lift up. On Sunday, many of us attend church to worship and praise Him. We sing, we pray, we listen to sermons, and we serve. These are all great and […]

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 mid-week. We usually give it a thumbs up or thumbs down based on how good everything is going or not going. Either way, men we need to be an example and serve […]
Fuel Up
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 We all have our own personal Spiritual fuel tanks and we pick and choose what goes in the fuel tank. We all know what happens if fuel (petrol) gets contaminated. It effects the entire performance […]
Safeties On
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 In the movie “Hunt for Red October,” there was a Russian sub commander that turned the safeties off of the torpedoes; he was firing at a Russian sub that was trying to defect to the United States. In his chase, he fires […]
The old foot in the mouth disease
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up – Ephesians 4:29 Oh the old foot in the mouth disease; we have all been there right? I remember when I was kid, it seemed like we were always talking about and making fun of […]
