Fri// Steel:: Strength
Title: Quiet Strength “The Lordis the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one” Psalm 28:8 It’s easy to think about our physical strength as men but so easily forget that our quiet strength matters more. Last year, two men I knew each battled and lost to cancer. But, even while their […]
Thu // Warrior :: Defend
Title: Defend God and Faith “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor” Psalm 82:3 Defend God. He needs us…. Wrong. The Creator of all things in the Bible asked us to help Him and defend Him as it is seen, but in reality, we are not needed. The defending of God […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Building Character Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us – Hebrews 12:1c What is your motivation in life? A loaded question, I know, but consider that motivation drives us through difficult times. The goal set before us is that we may “persevere through the race marked before us.” In this process, persevering […]
Tue // Fueled :: Spirit
Title: Closing the Gap. So I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 My character has a gap between myself and what God wants from me. The wider the gap, the easier it is to let the flesh creep in. It is easy to read […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: First Commandment Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 I am a true American and have often shown positive interest and respect for our founding fathers. In today’s crazed world, we need Faith and God more than ever. What is God thinking of America? Next […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Valuable lesson For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. – Matthew 23:12 This verse reminds me of a Little League all-star game I saw in the ’80s. A good friend of mine was having a pretty good at-bat against a tough pitcher. The count was in his […]
Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Encouragement takes courage to give Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Hebrews 3:13a Encouragement takes courage to give. For some people, it comes more naturally than others, but it always requires you to offer something to someone else – and you have to risk your words being shunned or ignored. This week, find someone […]
Fri // Steel :: Example
Title: Pursuing Jesus Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b What example are you setting? It’s a simple question that has enormous implications for how you live. What are the words you use? How do you live your life? How do […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Choose the Right Weapon. For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c Men, are we ready for Battle? When I read this verse, I can’t help but relate to the most current events worldwide: Israel and the Middle East, Ukraine Vs. Russia. But what does the Bible say about these […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Sturdy Perseverance Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c Sometimes, we don’t understand our trials or struggles in the moment, and we wonder, what’s the point? But as time passes, we can reflect on those trials and see God’s work during those times. When we struggle, our relationship […]
