Thu // Warrior :: Defend
Title: Defend against the enemy “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor” Psalm 82:3 The Creator of all things in the Bible asked us to help him defend those who cannot defend themselves. As we have read what Jesus and the apostles have done and see today the persecution of believers, […]
Wed // Grit :: Resolve
Title: Don’t become lazy As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. – Joshua 24:15 One of the things good leaders do is figure out a plan and follow through on that plan. Most would call this determination or resolve. When we lack confidence, we lack drive, and we become lazy. Resolve […]
Tue // Fueled :: Spirit
Title: Spirit vs Flesh So I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 Walking by the spirit vs the flesh we have all read this in scripture, Heavenly vs Humanness as I see it. As Christian Men, we must remember that we are all flawed […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: What’s your idol? Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 Every man should take a few minutes to read through the entire chapter from Isaiah 44.

Fri // Steel :: Example
Title: The Road Map Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b It’s wild to think that we don’t have the option of deciding if we want to be an example to those around us. We are being watched. We do have […]
Remember to be thankful.
Black Friday dead! The traditional start of the Christmas shopping season, held on the day after Thanksgiving, is a thing of the past now that retail stores are starting the Christmas shopping season on Thanksgiving day. Call the undertaker! Buy the casket! Have the tombstone engraved! “Rest In Peace” Black Friday! Sadly, Thanksgiving Day is […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: It’s God’s race Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c I’ve never been able to run for an extended period and did not want to give up. To me, running and perseverance go hand in hand. There are times (perhaps today) you will want to give up. Stop […]
Tue // Fuel :: Listen
Title: Rest He says, Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. – Psalm 46:10a To actively listen, we must stop talking and usually stop what we do. God tells us to “be still” because he knows that’s often not our […]
