Sunday // Sacrifice:: Worship
Be Useful “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship” Romans 12:1b Paul reminds us that our physical bodies have a holy purpose. Our bodies are neither meant to be ignored nor idolized. God wants us to maintain the body He has given us and be […]
Saturday // Build :: Kingdom
Title: God’s Temple Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Our bodies are God’s temple. Think about that for a minute. In the Old Testament, God’s dwelling place was the temple. The tabernacle was considered the Holiest of all places […]
Friday // Steel :: Truth
Title: Hidden Sin Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 Jesus said the truth will set us free, so on the flip side, that means anything that is not the truth can chain us. Revealing hidden sin can be difficult, but it is how we are […]

Thursday // Warrior :: Weapons
Title: Are you prepared? Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.– Ephesians 6:11 I love to fish. So that I would be ready for any trip, I keep three tackle boxes ready. This is an expensive hobby, no doubt, so those three boxes of “weapons” […]
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. One of my favorite lines in that movie is “what we do in life echoes in eternity.” So powerful, so true. Men, what is your life echoing right now? Do […]
Tuesday // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Lord, teach us to pray.” This was a request made by the disciples. Perhaps they had learned from Jesus that prayer could be a very personal discipline instead of just a religious practice. Their request to Jesus suggests a newfound dimension of prayer […]
Monday // Surrender :: Control
Title: Trust God Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5 How often are you at that crossroad with today’s verse, and you tell yourself, I know exactly what to do or say in a given situation? How did that work out for you? Or […]
Sunday // Sacrifice :: Stand
Title: Work in progress Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. – 1 Corinthians 15:58 When I think of sacrifice, I think of what I am giving up for Lent or my New Year’s resolution. Well, to tell you how I have done with that, my last resolution was not to make any resolutions, and I finally achieved one. This is a work in […]
Saturday // :: Build – Authentic
Title: Words Are Powerful Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a I used to look at this verse as proof for not cursing. But it’s much more than that. Some synonyms for unwholesome are unhealthy, noxious, poisonous, […]
