Mon // Surrender:: Obey
Title: Bricks and Mortar “This has been my practice: I obey your precepts” Psalm 119:56 In your mind, imagine a brick wall. That wall is made up of two items: bricks and mortar. In our walk with God, beliefs are like bricks. Each truth, fact, and doctrine is like a brick in a wall. But […]

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 […]

Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: It’s up to us. Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 I believe that to the degree you and I turn and cling to would-be substitutes for God’s loving provision, we experience its absence. Conversely, to the degree we turn and cling to God Himself to […]
