Stand Firm and Stand Out

We live in a culture that celebrates mediocrity and praises minimal effort. People are distracted, undisciplined, and constantly searching for the easiest path possible. Integrity is rare. Biblical principles are ignored. Christian values are mocked. Yet so many men still crave acceptance from the very world that opposes everything God has called them to be.Continue reading “Stand Firm and Stand Out”

Yes and Amen

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20 Stop asking how, and start asking why. There should be zero hesitation about how God will show up for us—He always comes through. InContinue reading “Yes and Amen”

Fully Commited

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11 Greatness requires commitment. The process is often painful and arduous, but the result is always glorious. Being fully committed demands the discipline to stay consistent andContinue reading “Fully Commited”

Perma-Prayer

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Evil doesn’t sleep. The enemy doesn’t take rest days. Hell clocked in long before you woke up and will still be working while you lay your head down tonight. The principalities we wrestle against put in overtime trying to tempt us, distract us, and disconnect us from God. AndContinue reading “Perma-Prayer”

Change Your Perspective

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 You need to change your perspective and your focus. Grow into a man YOU are proud of. Challenge yourself to buildContinue reading “Change Your Perspective”

Let God Lead

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 Jesus leads us. God’s Word is a light to our path in this dark world. He goes before us and clears the way. He writes our story and calls us to take the proper steps. The map has been provided, and theContinue reading “Let God Lead”

It’s Not the Enemy. It’s You!

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 It’s not the enemy. It’s your flesh.It’sContinue reading “It’s Not the Enemy. It’s You!”

Stay in Your Lane

Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them… When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” John 21:20-22 The world says, “Nice guys finishContinue reading “Stay in Your Lane”

Growth Takes Grit

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11 Growth hurts. A seed must completely destroy itself to become the tree it was designed to be. To build muscle, the fibers must tear and rebuild. TheContinue reading “Growth Takes Grit”

Hidden But Honorable

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you. 1 Peter 5:6 We all want to be recognized and respected. When we put in the effort, we crave acknowledgment. But sometimes, our hard work goes unnoticed and unappreciated. That’s okay. Recognition from man isn’t theContinue reading “Hidden But Honorable”
