John 16:33- "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” You hear about us having tribulations from this passage a lot, but what pops out for me is that He says "have overcome". And Jesus says this before the crucifixion. I believe He had faith and knew the strength of God and trusted Him alone, and that's why Jesus knew He already had won. I pray we can learn to trust and lean on Him so much that we don't even worry about our situations, but that we know we have already overcome them because of His power. - Josh Gross

Galatians 6:3 - "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing he deceiveth himself." As I watch the political race and also work in a corporate environment, men and woman think they are something more than they are it reminds me that we are nothing without Christ.  We need Him to be good husbands and fathers and employers or employees. -

I Samuel 10:26 - "And Saul also went home to Gibeah and there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched." When I think about the future of our church and the impact it will have on my family I want to be in the group of men whose hearts are touched by God.  Not undecided, not compromising, not involved but grounded surrendered and doing all we can for Christ in the place where He put us. -Jason Brothers

2 Timothy 2:19b - "...And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." What this means is that if we claim to be Christians then we should act like it. Acting like it means doing everything in our power (and His) to stay away from things that we know are wrong. - Steve Boots

Psalm 78:6-7 - "That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:  That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:" We have a responsibility to pass on the truths of God's Word to our children no matter how bad the world around us is. - John Mark Brothers

Ephesians 5:15-16 - "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."  How much time do we waste each day when we could be doing something for the Lord or spending time with Him? - Jason Barrett

Proverbs 23:17,26 - "Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. My son, give me thine heart,  and let thine eyes observe my ways." I want my children to love, fear, and serve the Lord through all of their lives.  I do not want something that I do to move them from those goals.  Let's pray, that as the leaders in our homes, we will lead our children in the right way, not only with our words, but with our actions as well. - Jason Myers
