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 prior to the writing of this verse? Certainly the idea of following Christ was foreign to […]
Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Ongoing Dialogue Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Most men lead busy lives and find themselves running from one activity to the next. Family events, church activities, work responsibilities, etc. keep us moving at a solid pace. And in all of that God asks us to pray continually. Through it all, we are to […]
Mon // Surrender :: Confess
Title: Two things 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 have a crew of friends around you, praying for you? Do they know how they can be praying for […]
Sacrifice :: Acknowledge
Title: Deadly Cargo Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32 Martyrdom. Not exactly a pleasant topic, but one repeatedly addressed in Scripture—including the context for this one—as well as throughout church history and in headlines today. Apparently, holding a belief that a benevolent creator has […]

Title: Wholehearted Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters- Colossians 3:23 We often relate this passage to our jobs/work…which is great…but it applies to so much more than that. The word “Whatever” is a big word and covers all, do we approach everything […]

Title: Let Him In Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 You can’t love someone without first letting them in. All the way. Too often we keep people at arm’s length as a way to protect ourselves from pain and […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Give God the weight Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Eph 6:10 When I was a kid, I liked to hang out with my Grandpa in his blacksmith shop. He would let me “help him” sometimes. One thing I remember was him having me help carry a big round […]
Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Surrounded By Who? Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character. – 1 Corinthians 15:33 I think every parent knows this scripture, how many times have we heard this growing up and how many times have we used it on our kids. That’s because the importance of surrounding ourselves with good friends is […]
Tue // Fuel :: Wisdom
Title: What wisdom provides Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 AW Tozer once said, “Wisdom provides a path for the highest good,\u2028for the greatest number,\u2028for the longest time.” I like that. It gives me something to aspire to. Because we are made […]
Mon // Surrender:: Obey
Title-Obey and Revive This has been my practice: I obey your precepts. – Psalm 119:56 A.W. Tozer said the following of obedience “If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light […]
