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 […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Posture for Worship Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 When I think of the word Exalt, I believe whom shall we Exalt. All living things owe their very existence to the eternal God of creation. In God’s image, he created man. He has made way […]
Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: It takes courage to Encourage Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today. – Hebrews 3:13a I remember my little league teammates playing their hearts out every inning of the game, and it comes down to me and one batter. My team would encourage me from the bench. It felt good, and […]
Fri // Steel :: Example
Title: A simple thought Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b “Set an example.” How should that look? Back in Philadelphia, when Benjamin Franklin lived there, the city was rough. You for sure didn’t want to be out at night. The […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: God is with Us For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c Satan has certain strongholds that can imprison us each day that we need to be aware of. One of those is he will attack when are alone or we are feeling alone. Remember he tempted Jesus in the wilderness […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: What Next? Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 Our verse for today has a promise attached to it. If we commit our way to the Lord, he’ll see that we are righteous (literally “in right relationship with God and others”) and have justice. These […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen

Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Title: Don’t Forget Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 When things are going great in life, we tend to forget about God, don’t we? We get to a place where we think we can handle life on our own; we believe we are doing an adequate job managing our […]
