40

In the early morning hours of October 10th I prayed about what to say at the upcoming Men's Breakfast. One phrase after another was continuously dropped in my spirit. Below are the 40.


I will take blunt and real to fake and flowery anytime.


Sure they're doing it not as good as you would. The key word is they're doing it!

A man who swallows correction and adjusts can be trusted.

Those who eloquently defend mistakes will eventually turn on you.

Look out for gifts given out of the blue.

Mutual honor is Satan's demise.

Pride is measured by defensiveness.

Character is clarified by correction.

Not every tear is real.

One deed in secret is more valued than a thousand announced.

A successful manager adjusts tactics; production slips under a die hard.

Expecting appreciation is a guaranteed letdown.

Thomas needed to feel God. Blessed is the man who takes him at his word.

Fake can never sell the discerning.

You were born to rebellion; reborn to submission.

A hard truth is better than a feel good lie.

Flattery masks discontent.

The most sought after trait is being there.

Women prefer strength over emotion.

Priorities cannot be hidden.

Putting down others to lift yourself up is embarrassingly transparent.

You leave your mark by consistent pressing; not by impulsive change.

Being counted on is being counted.

Sheer happiness is see through; joy is thick and opaque.

Better to bridge the gap than profit from it.

No student can cram the test of time.

Sincere loyalty is quite yet profound;
shallowness is loud and deadly.

Quakes reveal faults. 10-10-15 4:21AM (earthquake felt)

You were created to sign not forge.

Authenticity is attractive.

Religion could be a front for phony.

A secure man doesn't need your approval; 
an insecure man needs nothing else.

Wisdom looks over the broad strokes to read the fine print.

Every divide begins with a strategic seed.

Men deal well with problems; women prevent problems well.

Better to believe in the shaky then doubt the proven.

Avoidants never remove obstacles for others.

Regrets are never future.

A well timed thank you comes just in time.

Rescuing someone from a ditch before they hit rock bottom is not always the right move.
