She did not consider her future
Have you noticed that all of life’s choices end in victory or failure? Circumstances, environment, and access to resources can all affect outcomes but the recipe for prosperity is often effort and obedience. As the book of Lamentations opens, the nation of Israel is under Babylonian rule and the capital city of Jerusalem is lying in ruin. An exhilarating season...
100% Guaranteed
There’s a lot of uncertainty in this world but there are a few things that are guaranteed. Benjamin Franklin famously said that ‘nothing is certain except death and taxes.’ On April 17, 1790, at the age of 84, one of America’s greatest inventors, authors, and statesmen found his statement to be true. Death and eternity are unavoidable realities for us...
Seek Wisdom
Men, my challenge this week is simple and direct. Seek wisdom and reject folly. If you’re a decent man, you want to be wise. If you desire to be a great and Godly man, wisdom is the only option; all folly must be rooted out. One of the most foundational verses in the Bible is Proverbs 9:10 – Fear of...
Wisdom v. Folly
Men, my challenge this week is simple and direct. Seek wisdom and reject folly. If you’re a decent man, you want to be wise. If you desire to be a great and Godly man, wisdom is the only option; all folly must be rooted out. One of the most foundational verses in the Bible is Proverbs 9:10 – Fear of...
Entrust to Faithful Men
I have no time. That was my excuse for why I wasn’t spending more time pursuing the things God values. My priorities included building a company, investing in my marriage and just keeping my head above the water with all of life’s responsibilities. The thought of taking time to read and study the Bible would never have landed in my...
The Most Important Thing About Us
It’s a great thing when a man would ask of God, “teach me Your ways”… We see David ask this of the Lord in Psalm 27:11. A desire to be taught by the Lord is admirable & righteous, but, why would any man ask to be taught the ways of God if he doesn’t know the person God. If you...
Fill Your House
As I spent time reading God’s Word this week, I found myself resting on two powerful verses in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:32-33 reads “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.” Even as I write this, I can’t seem to shake this warning and...
Abide In Me
Saturday was our inaugural Red Truck Men group in Bluffton, South Carolina. Under a beautiful live oak covered with Spanish moss, men had an opportunity to connect over a hearty breakfast and exchange stories. Our time concluded with a look at Jesus’ teaching on The Vine and The Branches in John 15. As we read this passage together, my first...
Take My Yoke
The harness used by oxen and onagers was designed to ease the work of hauling a load. In Matthew 11, Jesus draws a parallel with this valuable agricultural tool. “Come to me,” Jesus says, “and take my yoke upon you”. Able to bear the full load of our troubles and needs, Jesus commands us to come, take and learn from...
