Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Bad Company Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Corruption feels like something is rotting. What once had a noble purpose has turned inward for personal gain at the expense of others. And it doesn’t happen quickly. It can be a slow rot. You might even have some friends […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: Spiritual Hunger 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 Real food is fuel, and God’s Word is fuel. Spiritual food or hunger was always a head-scratcher […]
Mon // Surrender :: Confess
Title: Fullest Potential 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 Do you ever have that cloudy feeling inside from sin or old sin? 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Acknowledge
Title: Simple Request Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32 I love the simplicity of this verse. Christ is not calling us to fight his battle for him. He’s not asking us to explain the meaning of life or defend the Scriptures from the atheist attack. His simple […]
Sat // Build :: Honor
Title: Pretty Good feeling Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 Have you ever been in a setting where someone you admired introduced you to someone you didn’t know? In a way that was incredibly honoring to who you are and the things, you have accomplished? A pretty good feeling, isn’t it? That’s the challenge we get from Romans 12:10. We […]
Fri //Steel :: Strength
Title: Pure Strength The Lord is the Strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalms 28: 8 Steel that is made with the purest materials produces the most robust steel. Once the impure products are introduced, the strength becomes compromised and is a weaker product. The verse today gives […]
Thu // Warrior :: Defend
Title: God is Calling “Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.” – Psalm 82:3 The saying, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” comes to mind upon studying the above verse, especially in its context. God is […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Building Character Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us – Hebrews 12:1c What is your motivation in life? A loaded question, I know, but consider that motivation drives us through difficult times. The goal set before us is that we may “persevere through the race marked before us.” In this process, persevering […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Desires of the flesh So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Galatians 5:16 This verse is simple enough, right? This life can be such a battle sometimes, and what makes that battle harder more times than not is when we concede to the […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: Gold statues Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 “Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.” Are we just talking about gold statues and ornate shrines here? Is this relevant today? […]
