Men, there are four enemies “crouching at your door, desiring to have you, but you must rule over them” (Genesis 4:7). In Proverbs 6, Solomon warns us of using money foolishly (vv. 1-5), laziness (vv. 6-11), bad character (vv. 12-19), and lust (vv. 20-35). These four enemies can obliterate everything God has built in a…

Psalm 20 is considered a royal psalm as deals with a king (v. 6, 9). It is also a psalm of prayer before David and Israel entered battle. David fought the Lord’s battles, as he did with Goliath (1 Samuel 17:47). It was common for kings to pray before battle, just as Jehoshaphat did in…

A Proverbs 5 man knows God created sex for procreation and pleasure to be inside the boundaries of marriage for one man and one woman for a lifetime. Anything outside of God’s design for sex is sin and a godly man realizes that sexual sin will destroy and disappoint. God isn’t trying to deprive sexual…

Psalm 19 has to be one of my top five favorite of the Psalms. It’s one I find myself quoting a lot. How many times have I thought or said, “The heavens declare the glory of the Lord” (v. 1), “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul” (v. 7), and “May the…

It’s amazing how often we want to receive the benefits without the hard work necessary to achieve them. When my family has traveled to a certain city for vacation, there is a shopping center we like to frequent. And by we, I mean my wife. There are two stores, man stores I call them, I…

1. I’m not perfect.But anyone who knows me already knows that. It’s those who only see me from a distance or hold me on some type of preacher pedestal that will panic when I make a mistake or a decision they don’t agree with. It’s those who know me best that can see my imperfections…

I love the GPS on my phone and in my truck. I can say, “I’m hungry”, and it will say, “Well, we can’t have that”, then suggest the closest places and provide directions. That’s what I’m talking about! I’m the kind of driver that needs step by step directions when going to a new place…

This is the start of a 31 Day Devotional for men called, “31 Days To Becoming A Proverbs Man”. Hope you enjoy it. There is a big difference in wisdom and knowledge. When my dad taught me to shoot a gun, I learned the basic mechanics of how guns work. Bullets, firing pins, and gun…
