Mon // Surrender :: Control
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5 If we truly trust God with our lives, then we’re able to completely surrender our worries, anxieties, fears and concerns over to Him through prayer. If we say that we trust Him as our Lord and Savior, […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Acknowledge
Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32 I love the simplicity of this verse. Christ is not calling us to fight his battle for him. He’s not asking us to explain the meaning of life, or defend the Scriptures from the atheist attack. His simple […]
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 […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive. 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, […]
