The Sword & Shield: Devotionals for MenThe Good Way or the God WayWe all struggle to make right decisions, especially in circumstances where emotions and feelings are driving what we would like to do. As Christ-followers, we have to allow the Holy Spirit to help us look beyond the good way and find God's way. In today's episode, we'll look at three situations where David had a clear choice and, in the end, chose God's way over his own, even when everyone around him would have justified his choices.

2024-03-1809 minThe Sword & Shield: Devotionals for MenKnowledge vs. ExperienceThere are truths we believe because we know them to be true. Then there are truths we believe because we have lived them. That brings the question, "Why do I believe what I believe?" Could someone talk you out of a truth you know? But who could separate you from a truth where you walked through a fire and it's now a part of you? In today's episode, we take a look at the difference between knowledge in faith vs experience out of faith.

2024-01-3116 minThe Sword & Shield: Devotionals for MenThe Thieves in Your TempleNew Testament teaching tells us if we have a relationship with Jesus, we are now His temple, no longer an ark or a building.

In cat some of it starts to stink if we let it sit too long. Every day, we also sin—we disobey a holy God.

2023-03-0509 minThe Sword & Shield: Devotionals for MenSo, You're Not a Super-HeroThroughout the Bible, God used men who were available and would be obedient.
