Thu // Warrior – Engage
Title: Engaging God 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 The word engage refers to our life. We engage in many things daily, but what […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Commitment is Rare Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this… – Psalm 37:5 Commitment is one of the more rare characteristics of people in this day and age. It seems normal to find people who are flakey and uncommitted; then it is to find committed people. Imagine […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
Title: God is with me He says, “Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10a I love disaster movies. I think it’s all the special effects. There’s almost always that one part in the film when a group of people hear about some impending doom or maybe even see it coming. The crowd […]
Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Title: Moving Away from Pride Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 One of the first things we need to see and understand is that it is not about you! The world does not revolve around you! Pride makes us only think of ourselves and our wants and desires. By nature, we […]
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 […]

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. None of the earthly weapons are effective in the evil we face as Christian men. Seek to […]
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 […]
