Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. – Psalm 99:5 Most men gravitate to the places, circumstances and relationships where they can stand tall and strong. Which isn’t all bad. There can be a healthy expression of pride and personal confidence that can serve and inspire others. But that […]

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Are you looking for freedom? Freedom from addiction? Maybe a sin in your life that you can’t make any sense out of? It’s crazy the things that we can get hooked on. They damage our very ability to relate […]

Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 I listen to a lot of sports talk radio. Probably too much. A discussion that comes up regularly starts with a question like this, “If you were a star athlete, would you take less money to have a chance at a championship […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Men act all sorts of ways. We can act tough, strong, dependable, profitable…even spiritual. As men it is easy to “act” spiritual. We might define it differently, but I’m pretty sure you and […]
Sat // Build :: Authentic
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a What do you think it means to build someone up in an authentic way? Authentic means the real thing, not a cheap copy or knock-off. Probably worth a lot too. I remember […]
Fri // Steel :: Integrity
Till I die I will not deny my Integrity – Job 27:5b Job was being criticized by those closest to him and it was confusing to him. We all know that criticism can be a tough pill to swallow and can challenge our integrity. In the spiritual battle, Satan will use criticism because he knows […]
