Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: The Crowd Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character”. – 1 Corinthians 15:33 There have been two things that I have witnessed in the character of a man: 1) the crowd and 2) the circumstances. For today, let’s focus on the crowd. Whether at work, in our neighborhood, or even the church, […]
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 :: Confess
Title: Confession to one another Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. – James 5:16 Confession of our sins, how often do we as men confess, for me not often enough. Remember while our confession […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Acknowledge
Title: 50/50 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before my Father in Heaven.” – Matthew 10:32 This world is harsh and ugly sometimes, but we need to be consistent with our walk; this will and should look different from those around us. Looking and acting differently can bring on judgment or ridicule at times, […]
Sat // Build :: Invest
Title: Invest well 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, what is one of the first things that probably come to mind? Investing in something is a commitment, which could be money, time, and possibly […]
Fri //Steel :: Strength
Title: Spiritual Workout The Lord is the Strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalms 28: 8 Be strong, of good courage, and do not fear, for your God is the one who goes with you, in the scripture from God. What areas to draw strength from? First, we […]
Thu // Warrior :: Defend
Title: Defend God and Faith “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor” Psalm 82:3 Defend God. He needs us…. Wrong. The Creator of all things in the Bible asked us to help Him and defend Him as it is seen, but in reality, we are not needed, but the defending of […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Cast it Down Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c Some men enjoy running, while others are likely to run only when chased. One thing is for sure in our spiritual race, we are pursued aggressively when running the race He has marked out for us. Two […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Battles Every Day So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Gal.5:16 Every day we battle our flesh. A battle that rages daily without ceasing will wear you down. Often, we correlate this battle with sexual sin and rightly so. Sexual immorality steals as no other sin can. However, we can “flesh out” in many ways. Excessive eating and drinking, idleness, anger, […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: We all have them Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 We all have them, many I don’t realize I have. As men we must know, anything that prevents our focus from being on God as #1. Often for me, things like my job is an Idol […]
