Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: Living Truth 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 Let’s talk about Fuel for Men for our needs. Think gas/oil mixture engines, won’t run too […]
Mon // Surrender :: Confess
Title: Rhythm of Confession 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 I once heard that we started needing counseling once we stopped confessing. Hard to believe that something as simple as […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Rest
Title: Turn it off Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. – Mathew 11:28 Everyday life is filled with demands. Lists grab our attention, and, at times, it feels as if we are being pulled in every direction. Even our breaks, lunch hours, and evenings are […]
Sat // Build :: Honor
Title: All on the Grenade “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves” Romans 12:10 I love military movies, books, museums, and the like.

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.

Title: Repetition and Practice So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 Play to win. Don’t play to lose. For anyone who’s ever competed in sports or any other type of contest, you know the difference. Think about it too long, hesitate, second-guess […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: First Commandment Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 I consider myself a true American and have often shown positive interest and respect for our founding fathers. In today’s crazed world, we need Faith and God more than ever. What is God thinking of America? […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Real Men Exalt God Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 “Exalt” is not part of my conversational vocabulary. I looked at synonyms and got “elevate” and “glorify.” Not much help. How do we “exalt the Lord our God” naturally and genuinely? Here is a suggestion: […]
