Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
Title: Reflection of our devotion to God. Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Our bodies belong to God. It’s kind of a strange thought, isn’t it? But that’s what Paul says in Romans. Our bodies are to be a “living sacrifice.” Does your lifestyle…the things you do with your body…reflect that? Consider these questions: + Do […]
Sat // Build :: Kingdom
Title: A plan for us. But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well – Matthew 3:13a As men, we feel like kings of our domain, in control of our sphere. This is dangerous thinking. Man’s kingdom: The thought of giving all of our issues over […]
Fri // Steel:: Truth
Title: The Good News John 8:32 “Then you will know truth and the truth will set you free.” What is the truth, and from what can it free us? The bondage of sin is inescapable without Jesus. It is a simple concept but a complex reality. We don’t have to look for sin; it seeks […]
Thur // Warrior :: Weapons
Title: True weapons Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11 When thinking of weapons, we think of a deer rifle, handguns, or military weapons.

Wed // Grit :: Influence
Title: Everything I do Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 It was dinner time, and my 10-year-old daughter told a rather dramatic story about her day at school. As she told her tale, I saw her roll her form a facial expression she had picked up from […]
Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: Constant Prayer Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Some people find the Bible’s shortest verse, “Pray without ceasing,” a mystery. Notice the word “always”— Prayer does not need to be a formal time or place. It can be thoughts or remembering things throughout the day that reflect God in your life and what He […]
Mon // Surrender :: Control
Title: Watch Him Work Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. – Matthew 6:34 When we surrender complete control of our lives to Jesus, we stop worrying because we learn to take the Bible at face value. Scripture is very clear: God is in […]
Sun // 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 Many of us wonder, What would Jesus do in an election year? It’s crucial to remember that Jesus transcends political affiliations. He is not for any of the parties, and political parties do not speak on behalf of Jesus or His Father. God speaks for Himself, and He does […]
Sat // Build :: Authentic
Title: Top of the list Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a Is honor and respect at the top of the list in marriage, family, workplace, or with your friends? Sometimes, when I am upset or stressed out, it’s […]
Friday // Steel :: Integrity
Title: Keep Integrity intact Till I die I will not deny my integrity. – Job 27:5b Integrity gives one the ability to be honest and have high morals. Something so simple yet can be so tricky. One might even say there seem to be fewer and fewer people with integrity. Where has integrity gone? It […]
