Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Opposite of the world Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. – Hebrews 12:1c No one said it would be easy. The Christian life does not promise a pain-free life. It is definitely not an easy road. Since God’s ways are not our ways, much of what He wants us […]
Tue // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Giving All So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh – Galatians 5:16 When we invite Christ to be our Savior, His Spirit permeates our being, bringing about a profound transformation. But to walk by the Spirit, there’s more to the Christian experience than initial salvation. We […]
Mon // Surrender :: Idols
Title: Centerpiece Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 Colossians 3:5 gives us a list of idols: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed. When these things become the driving forces of our lives, they become the centerpiece instead of our relationship with Jesus Himself. Greed […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Exalt
Title: Clean my lips Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. Psalm 99:5 When I read this verse, I can only think of one thing…Isaiah. In Isaiah 6, the Lord gifts Isaiah with a vision. In his view, Isaiah gives this fantastic picture of being in the presence of the Lord. He describes the temple setting and angels within the temple. Isaiah […]
Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Encourage Someone Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Hebrews 3:13a Election year is upon us.

Title: The weapon of worship 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 There are many opinions on worship, but the Bible does say there will be […]
Wed // Grit :: Committed
Title: Never ending love Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this. – Psalm 37:5 How difficult is it to trust God? Trusting God is easy to talk about, but it sure can feel risky for some reason. There are several instances in the Bible where there’s a “If you […]
Tuesday// Fuel::Listen
Title-Can you hear me? He says, “Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10a Be still and know I am God, is one of my favorite verses. I was talking about this verse with my wife, and the conversation came down to a simple question. She asked if I let my mind get […]
Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Title: The Helper Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 Sin is a state of being, a disease – and one of its nastiest symptoms is pride. Lucifer was cast down to the earth because of pride – self-sufficiency that placed his allegiance to himself rather than God. [Isaiah […]
