Life will provide a thousand sessions for raising the warrior God calls you to be. Turn your radar on during the day, and intentionally don't take the path of least resistance.

That's the key word—engage. Choose to engage and your weary warrior wakes up.

Most men have a hard time sustaining any sort of devotional life because it has no vital connection to recovering and protecting their strength; it feels about as important as flossing. But if you saw your life as a great battle and you knew you needed time with God for your very survival, you would do it.

Most messages for men ultimately fail. The reason is simple: they ignore what is deep and true to a man's heart—his real passions—and simply try to shape him up through various forms of pressure.

The recovery of the warrior is absolutely crucial to the recovery of a man. All else rests on this, for you will have to fight, my brothers, for everything you desire and everything you hold dear in this world. Despite what you feel, or what you may have been told, you have a warrior's heart, because you bear the image of God. And he will train you to become a great warrior, if you'll let him.

Do not pray for easy lives my friends, pray to be stronger man!

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

We, in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than by choice - the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.

A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.

Lo! I must tell a tale of chivalry;

Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.

The greatest failure of all is the failure to act when action is needed
