Wednesday// Grit:: Influence
Title-The influence of actions Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 One of my favorite movies is Gladiator and one of my favorite lines in that movie is “what we do in life echos in eternity”. So powerful so true. Men what is your life echoing right now? […]
Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: On-the-go 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 be […]
Mon // Surrender :: Control
Title: Manager of your life Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV It’s very difficult not to lean on my own understanding. If I’m honest with myself, most days I […]
Su // Sacrifice:: Acknowledge
Title: A Silent Witness “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before my Father in Heaven.” Matthew 10:32 The simple act of asking God’s blessing for your food, while eating in a public place, is a powerful way to acknowledge God to those around us. This silent witness speaks volumes to those observing that […]
Sat // Build :: Invest
Title: Your work honors God Whatever you do work at it with all your heart, as working for The Lord, not for human masters. – Col. 3:23 Work at it with all your heart. Swing for the fence. Do your best. Don’t let up. Meet and exceed expectations. Be the guy others know they can […]
Fri // Steel :: Passion
Title: Give it to God 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 […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: Do courageous things Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 As men, God created us to have a warrior inside of us. Maybe as kids we pretended we were Cowboys, Indians or Superheroes. It’s easy to imagine doing courageous things in the face of adversity when you […]
Wed // Grit : Character
Title: Character is cultivated Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 We don’t like to admit, but the more time we spend with someone, the more we act like them. Sort of like spending a week in Canada and coming back with a new accent. Eh? We were made […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: The Word shapes For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart! – Hebrews 4:12 Alive. Active. Not sure how many people think this way about the Bible. The […]
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 […]
