Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 Did you notice? Jesus is prophesying here. In this passage, Jesus is talking about the teachers and Pharisees. How they like to be important and have respect. Jesus reminds people to listen to him and not […]
Sat // Build :: Kingdom
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33 Leading up to this verse, Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow.” Most guys I know worry about tomorrow. We worry about work, family, finances, temptation, etc. And in response, we make choices that […]
Fri // Steel :: Truth
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Sometimes the truth hurts. Like a steel pan slapped upside your head. Sometimes that might be exactly what you need to wake you up after it rings your bell. Lies are snares; they enslave us. We think the lies […]
Thu // Warrior :: Engage
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 As boys, how many of us were convinced at times of scary things lurking under the bed, in […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this – Psalm 37:5 Personally, one of the things I dislike about technology is how easy it is to be non-committal. If we don’t want to go to something, we can just text someone and tell them we can’t make it. Commitment […]

Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 When I was a teenager and started getting “a little too big for my britches,” my mom used to remind me about the truth of Proverbs 16:18. “Pride come before the fall,” she would say. And those words have continued to haunt me to […]

Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1 Sacrifice was commonplace in first century Jewish culture and it was done as an act of worship. God invited his people to […]
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 Your words have power. Power to build up or tear down. The most unwholesome talk doesn’t come in the form of “bad words” but in any word being used to tear someone […]
