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

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)
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: 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)
Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 17)
Have you ever prayed when life pressed you from every side—when enemies seemed near, strength was failing, and you had nowhere else to turn? That’s the heart of Psalm 17. David cries out to God not from comfort, but from danger. In his words we learn how to: ✅ Pray with integrity and a clear conscience ✅ Rest under God’s wings of protection ✅ Lift our eyes from fleeting treasures to eternal satisfaction in His presence Psalm 17 reminds us that true strength is not found in what we possess, but in the God who hears, defends, and satisfies His people.
From New Recruits to Battle-Hardened Veterans: 1 John 2:12–29 shows how Christian men can grow, fight temptation, and lead others with strength and grace
Every man of faith is somewhere on the battlefield of spiritual growth. Some are new recruits—freshly enlisted in Christ’s service, still learning the discipline of obedience. Others are young warriors—tested but still sharpening their skills, fighting temptation head-on. And some are battle-hardened veterans—seasoned fathers in the faith whose long walk with Christ has forged resilience … Continue reading From New Recruits to Battle-Hardened Veterans: 1 John 2:12–29 shows how Christian men can grow, fight temptation, and lead others with strength and grace
Becoming a Man of God: A Four-Part Men’s Bible Study
In a world of shifting definitions and shallow masculinity, we need a clear, biblical vision of what it means to be a Man of God. Not merely a man of strength, ambition, or success—but a man who belongs to God, who lives by His truth, and who fights for what matters most. This four-part Bible … Continue reading Becoming a Man of God: A Four-Part Men’s Bible Study
Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 14)
Psalm 14 opens with one of the boldest declarations in Scripture: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” But David is not merely launching a polemic against atheism—he is painting a spiritual landscape in which godlessness leads to moral collapse. Though this psalm is over 3,000 years old, its critique remains startlingly … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 14)
Victory in the Fight: Purposeful Effort
The Christian life is not one of ease or passivity. From the moment we confessed Christ, we enlisted in a battle, entered a race, and took up the steady labor of the field. Consider Paul’s godly advice to Timothy: Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service … Continue reading Victory in the Fight: Purposeful Effort
Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 13)
We sing praise. We offer thanksgiving. But when was the last time we lamented—truly, biblically, lamented? Psalm 13 is a model of a spiritual discipline we’ve nearly lost. Yet, throughout Scripture, from Job to Jeremiah, from the Psalms to Paul, the faithful pour out their pain with honesty before God. Lament is not faithlessness—God welcomes … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 13)
