Friday // Steel:: Passion
Title: Number 1 Passion Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength – Deuteronomy 6:5 Is the word passion used freely in today’s world? People say they have a passion or strong beliefs, but often change their minds too often. The passion in this verse […]
Thursday // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Give God the Weight Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Eph 6:10 As a kid, I liked hanging out with my Grandpa in his blacksmith shop. He would let me “help him” sometimes. I remember him having me help carry a big, round bar of steel about five feet […]
Wednesday // Grit :: Character
Title: Who are you like? Do not be misled: “Bad Company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 It’s pretty simple: We become like the people we spend time with.

Saturday // Build :: Honor
Title: Honor those who served Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 Men, we often hear this phrase and think of military branches; let’s not forget those. Instead, why not honor the disciples of Jesus? The disciples’ primary ministry was to serve under Jesus’ direction, spreading His teachings and demonstrating God’s love. Disciples sent, as messengers of the Gospel, focused […]
Friday // Steel :: Example
Title: Be Strong But set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b I think of a couple of scripture verses: Philippians 4:8 and Titus 2:7. In everything, set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching, show integrity and seriousness. Like most men, I start each year, day, week, and month with every intention to do good in the eyes […]
