The Fight

We are all Children, in our Father’s eyes,
A room in His kingdom, our final prize

Flawed as we are, the darkness we face
Keep faith in the Father, his loving grace

Scars will come, en route to His Place
Stay the course, follow His embrace

For on this road, that must be traveled
Suit up with faith, for what must be battled

Keeping this faith, the gloom will subside
Following the light, as it is His guide

Keep the word, James four verse seven
For in this scripture, is your path to heaven

Lean on your brothers, on this earthly plain
Denying the darkness, any ground to gain

This battle is real, for our soul we fight
As Vital Men, we are called to unite

Vital Men Devotions

Take Captive

By Scott | Published December 14, 2018

II Corinthians 10:5 (ESV) 'We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, ' To a very great extent, how we get through this life is dependent on our ability to live out this verse. This verse is about perspective and attitude. It's about choice, how we respond to things going on in our lives, moment by moment, day by day, week in, week out. Think about a specific instance, something that happened to or was said to you recently. Where did your mind go? Did it take a… Read more…
You do it

By Clark | Published December 13, 2018

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to… Read more…
I Love Jesus but hate church…

By Brandon | Published December 12, 2018

That was the story of my senior year. I had an encounter with Jesus the summer before that changed my life. Before then I didn't believe in Jesus or like church. But the summer of 2003, I met Jesus and He changed my life. My prayer life was real and God was speaking to me. The Bible that bored me was now alive. My burden for my lost friends was deep. Yet when I brought them to church, they didn't want to come back and neither did I! I loved Jesus and hated church.That year God called me to be… Read more…
Who Do You Think You Are: Salt and Light

By Andy Baker | Published December 11, 2018

The past three weeks I've been sharing on the theme of identity. We've looked at how we are called to be ambassadors, masterpieces that serve, and overcomers. This week I want us to think about the ways we add value to the world. It's crazy to me how one little difference can add major value to something. A typical t-shirt runs around $10, yet if it says Gucci or Prada on it expect to pay around $500 (no, I'm not joking!). I have longed loved the History Channel show Pawn Stars, and am amazed at how much value the littlest thing… Read more…

It is VITAL to love and servant-lead your wife.

“Husbands go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did the church.”
Ephesians 5:25

It is VITAL to love your children and be an example.

“He must manage his own family as well as having children who respect and obey him.”
1 Timothy 3:4

“Let us not neglect our meeting together as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.”
Hebrews 10:25

It is VITAL to be an example of Christ in your work and community.

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.”
Romans 12:1
