Fri // Steel :: Passion
Title: Passion for eternity Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 Have you ever known someone who was really passionate about something? Maybe their kids, or comic books, or a sports team. The interesting thing about passion is it becomes a […]
Thur // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Press through with courage Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his mighty power. – Eph. 6:10 My grandfather was in the Navy during WWII and stationed on the USS Enterprise when a hole was punched in it by a Kamikaze pilot. He spent 24 hours in the pacific ocean before […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Opposite of the world Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1c No one said it would be easy. The Christian life does not promise us a pain free life. It is definitely not the easy road. Since God’s ways are not our ways, much of what He […]
Tue // Fueled :: Spirit
Title: Adding Spirit to the our walk So I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 Moving people from a house to a home can sometimes be frustrating. One of the things that crosses my mind when I help people move is how many people […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: Gold statues Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 “Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.” Are we just talking gold statues and ornate shrines here? Is this relevant today? Any […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Real Men exalt God Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 “Exalt” is not part of my conversational vocabulary. I looked at synonyms and got “elevate” and “glorify.” Not much help. How do we “exalt the Lord our God” in a way that feels natural […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: The battle challenge For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15c A moment of honesty: I’m not a fighter. I do enjoy a well contested boxing match or even a UFC fight. For me however, when it comes to confrontation, I’d rather stay out of it. Especially if it’s physical. I’ve […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Commit and Trust Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 There is a lot in the passage to take in. To commit our way to the Lord means in all things we commit to should have a connection or reference point back to God’s […]
