Thursday// Warrior::Engage
Title- Proactive or Reactive? 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 I love to hunt especially hunting dove but, I am not a very good […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Good Fruit Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 When we commit to God, we are committing to a way of life that honors God. How do we know what honors God? It is simple, and He gives us the values, the fruits of the […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
Title: Be Silent He says, Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. – Psalm 46:10a One of my favorite authors is Henri Nouwen. Consider the challenge to listen that he shares: When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find it’s those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen to share our pain […]
Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Title: Haughty Eyes Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 One of the things God detests is “haughty eyes” (Prov. 16:16). Haughty eyes are arrogant eyes that think they can accomplish anything in their own power. Haughty eyes believe they are better than everyone else. Haughty eyes are full of […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
Title: I trust You Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1 “Come on, son, let’s go for a walk.” “Where are we going pop?” I can only imagine the […]
Sat // Build:: Kingdom
Title: Avoid risk managment But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33 Leading up to this verse, Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow.” Most guys I know worry about tomorrow. We worry about work, family, finances, temptation, etc. And in response, we […]
Fri // Steel :: Truth
Title: The Choice to be free Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 A friend of mine is going through a season of discovery. He is looking for, what he describes, as his “inner truth.”Unfortunately, no one has their own inner truth. Unredeemed, we do have […]
Thu // Warrior :: Weapons
Title: All of it Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11 I was recently reminded that the enemy of our souls has a strategy (schemes) to take us out; disqualify us; turn our testimony into irrelevance.That’s why we are to put on the full armor of God. Not some of the armor. Not most of the armor. Not the convenient armor. […]
Wed // Grit :: Influence
Title: Be the Man Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 What do you think the writer of this passage (Paul) would have thought of his own words only a few years before the writing of this verse? Indeed the idea of following Christ was foreign to him […]
Tuesday// Fuel :: Prayer
Title Just pray …pray continually – 1 Thess 5:17 Have you ever run out of gas? I have. I just wasn’t paying attention to my gas gauge and the next thing you know the engine just stopped. Continually watching to see how much gas you have is not something you do automatically. In fact, it’s […]
