A knight is one who fights wholeheartedly in battle. He does not step onto the battlefield half-committed or uncertain about his cause. A true warrior throws himself into the fight because he knows two things: his cause is just and his leader is trustworthy. But imagine a soldier who begins to doubt his commander. If … Continue reading The Armor of God: The Shield of Faith
The Armor of God: Feet Shod with the Gospel of Peace
Getting out of the house with kids can be a test of patience. I often ask them if they are ready and they say “yes,” but when I check on them they have no shoes. There is still 5-10 minutes of shoe and sock searching before they will ever be truly ready to go. In … Continue reading The Armor of God: Feet Shod with the Gospel of Peace
Talk Like a Man
Most men today have been sold a cheap imitation of manhood—especially when it comes to how they speak. We’re told that “talking like a man” means cursing loudly, bragging boldly, mocking others, keeping our emotions locked down, or using sharp, aggressive words to prove our strength. Our culture imagines masculinity as a kind of verbal … Continue reading Talk Like a Man
The Armor of God: The Breastplate of Righteousness
When young David faced Goliath, King Saul offered him his royal armor. It was heavy, cumbersome, and—above all—unfamiliar. David tried to walk in it but quickly realized, “I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them” (1 Samuel 17:39). Saul’s armor wasn’t made for him, and if he tried to fight in it, … Continue reading The Armor of God: The Breastplate of Righteousness

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 18)
Psalm 18 opens with one of the most personal declarations of love in the entire Bible: “I love You, O LORD, my strength.” (v.1) The heading of the psalm itself tells us the context: “A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who addressed the words of this song to the LORD on the … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 18)
The Armor of God: The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14)
In Jeremiah 13, we are given a powerful demonstration. God tells Jeremiah to get a linen belt. This linen belt or sash perhaps represents a special woven belt which was part of the priestly garments (cf. Exodus 28:39-41). The purpose of this belt (and the other part of a priest’s attire) was for beauty and … Continue reading The Armor of God: The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14)
The Will of the Father: A Guide to the Sermon on the Mount (Lesson 11—Beware of False Foundations)
As Jesus brings the Sermon on the Mount to a close, He ends with a series of powerful warnings—not about external enemies, but about internal self-deception.

Jesus exposes two great dangers: Saying “Lord, Lord” while refusing to actually … Continue reading The Will of the Father: A Guide to the Sermon on the Mount (Lesson 11—Beware of False Foundations)
The Armor of God: Standing Strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10–13)
Among a knight’s most treasured possessions were his weapons and armor. These were not ornamental trinkets but the very tools that equipped him to fight and survive in battle. Armor meant life. A knight without armor was simply a man with a sword, vulnerable to every arrow and spear. Armor distinguished the knight from the … Continue reading The Armor of God: Standing Strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10–13)
4 Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make in a Crisis
Crisis reveals character. When the storm hit the Sea of Galilee, the disciples had Jesus in their boat—but their reactions showed exactly how not to handle an emergency. They panicked. They doubted God’s care. They cried out in desperation. They forgot who was with them. Men, storms will come in your life too.
