As Christians, we are often misled into believing that great steps of faith are just that—steps of such great proportion that it borders on the miraculous. But the truth is that steps of great faith are birthed out of many, much smaller steps of faith!
We are in the last volume of the BounceBack Devotional Series. Each month has been a journey that was focused on helping men become better men—and better men of God. From a lifetime of experiences, we have captured them and written them down in as few words as possible; well, that is as few as you can say in over 550, 000 words!
Our goal all along has been to take the understandings and insights that the Lord has given us on this journey—and share it with others. And it is not just the words—but the power of God throughout to deliver victory! Originally, we thought we would be sharing only with men—but, many women want to know what their husbands are reading!
So this month, we launch into our final series entitled, “Way of Life.” While this title may seem a bit ambiguous, imagine when your pastor tells you that “We are a way of life church.” And when asked what that meant, the answer noted that while some knocked on doors; and others passed out information in barbershops—our intent was that we simply demonstrated our witness through the life that we lead.
Originally, we considered that perhaps, we were just a lazy church and contented ourselves with the knowledge that our testimony would speak for us. In some cases, that thought in itself was rather frightening—but, as we mature in Christ—our lifestyle is indeed our greatest testimony to others.
Where “others” include the people in our neighborhoods, on our jobs, in our organizations—even in our families will see God in action, as much or as little as we demonstrate Him in our lives. We will either be a great witness—or a bad one: but we still will be a witness for Christ.
So we entitled our concluding month as, “Way of Life,” as a living reminder that we are our greatest testimony: everyday… twenty-four hours a day.
A GODLY RELATIONSHIP
Have you ever read the Genesis account and wondered about the nature of the relationship between God and Adam? It reads as if God needed the relationship with Adam – almost as much as Adam needed the relationship with God! These lessons help us understand how powerful a Godly relationship can be, if we can only learn to trust Him!

OUR SUFFICIENCY IN CHRIST
Understanding your self-worth is a matter of learning to see yourself as God sees you. We can, however, become trapped in the world’s image of us – how they see us. The world wants to place you in a box so that it can dismiss you as just one out of a large group of sameness; the Lord, however wants to lift you up – so that God would be glorified through your life! Believe it! God knows you better than you know yourself – and things are a whole lot better than you thought they were!

OUR KINGDOM CITIZENSHIP
What does it mean to be a Kingdom Citizen? Is having our name on the church role enough? Is being in good standing with the church enough? A Kingdom Citizen walks in the authority of the King and when we as believers begin to understand the depth of what that means – then we can begin to understand that even when all the odds are against us, we are still victorious in Christ!

GOD’S ORDER
When we begin to understand the order we have given things in our life in light of God’s order – and change; then we begin real growth in our Christian walk! Sometimes, it is even more difficult being a Christian when we are alone, because at those times, we have to govern ourselves according to our true nature! Do you know what your true nature is?
