Sat // Build :: Invest
Title: On the Fly Text: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters… – Colossians 3:23 My current employer once said in a meeting, “we are building this plane while in the air.” I have grown to loathe this statement as it conflicts with a deep need inside me…the need to plan. While I dislike this statement, I have to relent that I have “lived on the fly.” As […]
Fri // Steel :: Passion
Title: All Love the LORD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deut. 6:5 Even though the verse seems like a straight forward commandment, it tells me a couple of things. I see the word “all” before heart, soul, and strength, and it jumps off the page. […]
Thur // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Satan’s Schemes Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his mighty power. – Eph. 6:10 David stepped up to a giant with no hesitation, and with faith and trust in God, he let the round stone fly. Like David, we face our giants, but do we have the confidence and trust […]
Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Who are you like? Do not be misled: “Bad Company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Its pretty simple, we become like the people we spend time with.

Title: Live by wisdom Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 If we were to take many of the main themes from the Bible, we could conclude wisdom is a vast theme woven throughout Scripture. Why is that? Wisdom gives us the ability […]
Mon // Surrender :: Obey
Title: Love is obedience This has been my practice: I obey your precepts. – Psalm 119:56What is it about obedience that is so scary? I think for most of us, it involves pride. Many of us go to church and sing of and profess our love for Christ, but what about obedience?A.W. Tozer is a favorite author of […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Valuable lesson For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 This verse reminds me of a little league all-star game I saw back in the ’80s. A good friend of mine was having a pretty good at-bat against a tough pitcher. The count was in […]
Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Encouragement takes courage to give Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Hebrews 3:13a Encouragement takes courage to give. For some people, it comes more naturally than others, but it always requires that you offer something to someone else – and you have to risk that your words will be shunned or ignored. This week, […]

Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: He waits For the battle is not yours, but God’s, 2 Chronicles 20:15c In the Spiritual battle, he waits for us to let our guard down, he waits for pride to set in, and he expects for our flesh to desire the wrong things. These are battle tactics that Satan repeatedly uses, not very […]
