Friday // Steel :: Example
Title: Do as I say not as I do Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b Do as I say, not as I do. Is that a phrase you uttered in your life? Why? Do you act differently at church than you […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Multiple battles For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c I was speaking with a friend this week, and we were catching up, and soon the conversations went to a real level. We starting talking about what was beating us up, and we soon realized it was a lot of the […]
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 of us are likely to run only when being chased. One thing is for sure in our spiritual race; we have pursued aggressively when running the race He has marked out […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Advancing in the walk So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh – Galatians 5:16 To walk means to advance, going somewhere, motion or progress. We shouldn’t become content with where we are at. We should be looking to get better. Most of the time, men don’t […]

Conversely, to the degree we turn and cling to God Himself to […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Christ in the center For those who exalt they will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 Who do we praise? That is a loaded question. Often, our praise and focus are on what is at the center of our lives. It could be our jobs, our kids, family, […]
Sat // Build :: Kingdom
Title: Who’s kingdom? But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well – Matthew 3:13a A Man’s kingdom: The thought of giving all control over to God seems un-manly. “God has bigger issues than what I have going on,” is a common thought. We can become kings in […]
Fri // Steel :: Truth
Title: Fake News Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Fake news seems to be the phrase that keeps popping up, its news that is a partial truth, or no truth at all that accommodates someone’s agenda. But in the kingdom of God, we can be sure that […]
Thu // Warrior :: Engage
Title: Who is the enemy? For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 A few years ago, I read a series of books entitled The Chronicles […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Let go and trust God Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this – Psalm 37:5 Sometimes we need to let go and trust God. Trust that He is in control and is working ALL things out for good with YOUR best interests in mind. Trust the process and commit yourself to obedience to the Lord’s ways. Not my will, but you’re will be done, Lord! It is […]
