Sat // Build :: Invest
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. – Colossians 3:23 Sometimes our work can seem insignificant. It may pay little and reward even less. Because our lives are lived moment to moment, our jobs carry more meaning than we might realize. Every time […]
Study – Spiritual Warfare
MEN’S STUDY :: SPIRITUAL WARFARE – TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT This fall join a group of guys that want to be spiritual warriors. As men we have such an advantage in spiritual warfare: God has given us plenty of information about our enemy, his character and his strategies. But more important God has given us a six part […]
Fri // Steel :: Passion
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 Funny. I just glanced this verse over and noticed the autocorrect had inserted “hurt” where I must have mis-typed “heart.” As I pondered the “mistake,” I realized that what prevents many men from […]
Thur // Warrior :: Courage
Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power of his mighty power. – Ephesians 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 being rescued. I’d say the […]
Wed // Grit :: Character
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. We use the same words, tell the same jokes, watch the same movies and TV shows, eat the same food, etc. If these people are into things that don’t glorify […]

It might be ignored, disregarded, held in apathy…but that doesn’t […]
Mon // Surrender :: Confess
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 My pride gets in the way too much. I’d rather have people think I am “doing good” than know my faults and failures. It […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Rest
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 “If you are weary and burdened its not Jesus’ fault.” I remember hearing that from a friend of mine when I was on the edge of exhaustion. A full time job, council member for my town, […]
Sat // Build :: Honor
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 Men who give honor to others often receive it back. They create an atmosphere of devotion, love and respect. They are thermostats instead of thermometers. We need you to be like this. Your family needs you to be like […]
Fri // Steel :: Strength
The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalm 28:8 A few summers back, I broke my ankle while camping with the family. It required surgery leaving me on crutches for 2 months, a cane for a few weeks and then physical therapy for 6 weeks. […]
