RTTBROS

Gene Kissinger

We need to redeem the time as the passage in Ephesians 5 states BECAUSE the days are evil. It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word. My brother Norman and I are going to be setting up a ministry and under this ministry umbrella we will establish a YouTube channel here

    ALL #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    ALL #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT The Changing Definition of "All" 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint Isaiah 40:31 Reflection: It is a humbling thing to realize that the definition of "giving your all" changes as the seasons of our lives shift. If you asked your twenty-year-old self what it meant to give one hundred percent, the answer would have likely involved running at full speed until your lungs burned. At twenty, "all" meant doing everything at once. It meant high output, high volume, and boundless energy. It meant sprinting through life with a reckless abandon that defied consequence. But you are in your sixties now. And if you tried to summon that same frantic, high-velocity energy today, your body and spirit would likely say, "Please, no. That would do me in." There can be a strange grief in this transition. We look at what we used to be capable of and wonder if we are failing because we cannot match that same metric of performance. But we must remember that the God who made you is also the God who knows your frame. He is not confused by your aging; He is not disappointed that you cannot sprint the way you once could. Giving your all at sixty does not look like sprinting; it looks like endurance. It looks like showing up with a steady, surrendered heart even when the energy is low. It looks like loving your family with patience instead of just passion. It looks like faithfulness in the quiet, unseen moments rather than the loud, public achievements of your youth. One hundred percent at twenty is often measured by quantity, how much can I get done?One hundred percent at sixty is measured by quality, how deeply can I love, and how gracefully can I trust? You are not running the same race you ran at twenty. You are running the race of maturity. And in this race, the strength that comes from God is not just about energy; it is about the ability to keep walking, to keep hoping, and to keep resting when He says, "It is enough." Prayer: Lord, thank You for the energy and fire of my youth, but thank You more for the wisdom and depth of my age. Forgive me for comparing my current chapter to the previous one. Help me to understand that 'giving my all' today looks like faithful endurance, not frantic exertion. Teach me to trust Your strength when my own feels different. Give me the grace to rest when I am tired, and the peace to know that You are just as pleased with my quiet faithfulness as You ever were with my loud activity. Amen. https://linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    The Song #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    THE SONG #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT THE SONG BEFORE THE STRUGGLE I was thinking today about how we usually write the song after the victory. We wait until the battle is won, the dust settles, and the trophy is in our hands before we start singing about how great the win was. It feels natural to praise God for what He has already done. But there is something different about the song of Moses and the children of Israel. They sang while they were still standing on the edge of a wilderness. They had just seen the Red Sea part, but they looked out and faced a future that included a desert and a destination that would require facing fortified cities, standing against giants, and enduring a long, hard journey to get there. They didn't wait for the Promised Land to start the music. They sang because they knew who was walking with them. "The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him." — Exodus 15:2 God doesn't just give us strength for the moment we are in; He gives us a song to carry us through the moments that haven't happened yet. He empowers us for the giants and the deserts before we even see them on the horizon. Tonight, you might be staring at a wilderness of your own. Don't wait for the victory to find your voice. Let His strength be your song right now, in the middle of the unknown. Sing it anyway. He's already ahead of you. https://linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Tune Up #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Tune Up #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 2:5 If you watch a professional musician, you’ll notice something interesting. Every few songs, they stop. They don't take a break to talk to the crowd; they simply reach for the tuning pegs and give the strings a quick twist, a slight tighten here, a loosen there. To a casual observer, it looks like they are interrupting the music. But the musician knows that temperature, humidity, and the sheer tension of playing pull the instrument out of alignment. If they don't stop to adjust, the music eventually becomes noise. They don't need a new instrument; they just need to be re-tuned. A lot of us live our lives like that guitar. We start the day in tune, maybe with a moment of peace or a focused heart, but then the day happens. A sharp word from a boss, a stressful commute, or a disappointment at home. By the time evening rolls around, we’re out of alignment. We’re irritable, anxious, or just "off." "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 2:5 The goal of the Christian life isn't to stay perfectly in tune without effort; it's to be quick to recognize when we've drifted. It's the willingness to stop in the middle of the chaos and say, "I'm out of alignment. I need to get back to the Master's pitch." If you feel yourself drifting out of alignment tonight, here are three ways to re-tune: The "Pause and Pivot." The moment you feel irritation or anxiety rising, stop for ten seconds. Acknowledge the "noise" in your head, and consciously pivot your focus toward a single attribute of God, His faithfulness, His peace, or His sovereignty. The Breath Prayer. Use a simple, one-sentence prayer timed to your breathing. As you inhale, think: "The Lord is my shepherd," and as you exhale: "I shall not want." This physically and spiritually resets your rhythm. The Evening Audit. Before closing your eyes, ask yourself: "Where did I drift today?" Don't dwell on the guilt; just identify the moment you lost your tune and hand that specific situation over to Him. Tonight, before you drift into sleep, take a moment to re-tune. Bring your thoughts back to His peace. Let His voice be the standard that corrects your tone. You don't need a new life. You just need a moment of alignment. Get back in tune.

    The Mirror #RTTBROS #NightLight #faith #trust #discipleship

    The Mirror #RTTBROS #NightLight #faith #trust #discipleship The Mirror of Crisis Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." We tend to think of crisis as the gym where our character muscles are built. We look at the storms in our lives, the job loss, the sickness, the family conflict, and we think, “This is what’s making me strong. This is what’s shaping me.” But I’ve learned, sometimes the hard way, that crisis doesn’t develop character in us. It reveals the character that is already there. Think about a mirror. If you wipe a dirty mirror, you don’t create a reflection; you just clear away the dirt so you can see what was always standing there. Crisis is that clearing. It strips away the distractions, the busy schedules, and the polite masks we wear. When the pressure comes, you don’t suddenly become patient, kind, or brave if you haven’t practiced it. You simply act out of whatever is already rooted in your heart. If you are quick to anger, the crisis will show you how quick you are to blame. If you are trusting, the crisis will show you your reliance on God. If you are selfish, the crisis will expose your fear. This is actually good news, because it means we can’t wait for the storm to start training. We have to train in the quiet. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Notice it doesn’t say, "Keep thy heart when trouble comes." It says keep it now. In the quiet moments. When the coffee is hot, the house is still, and there is no emergency. That is when we do the work. That is when we purpose in our hearts who we need to be. We develop integrity when no one is watching. We develop patience when the traffic isn’t heavy. We develop generosity when our wallets aren’t tight. We develop faith when the sun is shining. You don’t build a house during a hurricane. You build it, day by day, in the calm weather, so that when the winds howl, the foundation holds. So tonight, before you sleep, ask yourself: If a crisis came tomorrow, what would it reveal about my heart? Do I want it to reveal fear, or faith? Bitterness, or grace? Purpose it now. In the quiet. Decide who you are, and what you will do, long before the storm arrives. Because when it does, you won’t be making it up. You’ll just be showing what you’ve already built. Lord, help me to build my character in the quiet moments of today. Let my heart be so full of Your grace and truth that when the crisis comes, it simply reveals Your work in me. Amen. https://linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    THE LEAD CAR #NightLight #RTTBROS

    THE LEAD CAR #NightLight #RTTBROS Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV [8] And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. I’ve always hated being the first one in the convoy. Whether it’s a family road trip or a group of friends heading to a new spot, the person in the lead car has all the pressure. They’re the ones who have to spot the potholes, navigate the confusing detour, and figure out if that "shortcut" is actually a dirt road to nowhere. The rest of us just follow the taillights. We’re relaxed because someone else is doing the scouting. That’s exactly how I’ve started looking at my mornings. I wake up facing a day full of emails, conflicts I’m not ready for, and a schedule that feels like a landslide. I feel like I’m the lead car. But then I hit this: "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8 Here is the truth: you aren't the lead car. You aren't the one scouting the road. God has already been to tomorrow. He’s already seen the potholes. He’s already navigated the detour. He isn't just walking beside you; He’s gone ahead to make sure the way is open. Tonight, you can stop trying to map out every "what if" for tomorrow. You don't have to be the scout. Just follow the Light. He’s already there. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

    THE COMMA  #NightLight #RTTBROS

    THE COMMA #NightLight #RTTBROS For most of us, the calendar turns from September 10 to September 11 with a heavy heart . It’s a shift from the ordinary to a day forever marked by tragedy. But for some of us, that transition carries a piercing, personal weight. Last year, on September 10, Charlie Kirk slipped from this world. It felt like a cruel convergence, the sudden shock of losing a friend overlapping with a day of national grief. It’s easy to let those dates merge into one singular anniversary of despair. But Charlie once said, "You only have a certain amount of time on this Earth. You have to make it count, and you have to be grounded in something bigger than yourself." He wasn't talking about a philosophy. He was talking about a Person. "Jesus spake unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." — John 11:25-26 Because of the resurrection, the sudden ending of Charlie’s life wasn't a full stop; it was a comma in an eternal sentence. He didn't pass into darkness, but into life everlasting. Tonight, if you're navigating the overlap of personal grief and national remembrance, bring it to the Cross. We don't ignore the pain, but we refuse to let the date on the calendar have the final word. Grieve if you must, but anchor yourself in the One who holds eternity. The comma is where the hope begins.

    THE TRAIL DICTATES #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT #NormanKissinger #NK

    THE TRAIL DICTATES #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT #NormanKissinger #NK I recently read about a family that spent seven months walking the Appalachian Trail, over 2,100 miles of wilderness. At the start, they packed exactly what they thought they needed. They had a plan. They had a system. But as the miles added up, they discovered a humbling truth: the trail dictates. The terrain decided how they dressed, how they carried their gear, and how they spent their days. They didn't control the trail; the trail controlled them. The mountains, the rain, and the steep descents forced them to adjust, to strip away the unnecessary, and to accommodate a reality they couldn't manage. We often approach our lives the same way. We want to pick the trail. We want to decide the direction, the pace, and the scenery. But the beauty of the Christian walk is that we aren't the ones holding the map. "He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." — Psalms 23:3 God doesn't just lead us along the path; He often picks the path. And sometimes, He picks the rough one, the steep climb or the rainy valley. He does this because the trail is doing a work on us while we are passing over it. It is molding our perspective, refining our philosophy, and deepening our relationship with Him. Tonight, if you feel like you are on a trail you didn't choose, one that is costly, exhausting, or just plain hard, don't fight the terrain. Trust the Guide. He knows why you are on this path, and He will equip you for every mile. Let the trail do its work. Action Points: 1. Identify one "hard trail" or difficult circumstance in your life right now and consciously surrender the need to control the outcome to God. 2. Ask yourself: "What is this specific trial molding in me that a smooth path could not?" 3. Spend five minutes in prayer thanking God for being your Guide, specifically praising Him for the strength He provides for the steep climbs.

    The Bucket #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    The Bucket #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Answer in a Stranger's Boat We often imagine that when God answers a prayer, it will come in a way that is clearly marked Divine. We look for the burning bush, the parting of the sea, or a sudden, miraculous windfall. But more often than not, God’s provision arrives in a plain boat, paddled by a stranger, carrying a bucket of fish. Consider the man on the riverbank. He was in a desperate place. He had foodless children and a heart full of confusion. He had obeyed a prompting to go to the river, but as he stood there watching his boys throw rocks into the water, the silence of God must have felt deafening. He had no fishing pole. He had no plan. He only had a bucket and a desperate hope. Then, out of the haze of the morning, a man in a boat paddles toward the shore. He asks a simple, almost casual question: "What's for dinner?" In that moment, the man on the shore didn't see a miracle; he saw a fisherman. But when that bucket of fish was handed over, the man didn't just see food; he saw the faithfulness of a God who heard him when he felt invisible. He wept because he realized that while he was worrying about the "how," God had already coordinated the "who." God had moved the heart of a man miles away to catch exactly what was needed and then guided his paddle to the exact spot on the shore where a father was waiting in despair. If you are standing on the riverbank of your own life tonight, feeling like you lack the tools to solve your problem, or if you feel you are fishing without a pole, take heart. Your provision may not come from your own effort, and it may not arrive in the form you expect. The answer to your prayer might currently be in a boat, paddling your way. Your job is not to figure out the logistics of the miracle; your job is simply to be at the river. Bring your bucket. Stay expectant. The Provider is already on the water. "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19) KJV Tonight's Reflection: What "bucket" are you holding onto? Trust that the Lord knows exactly where you are standing, and He is already moving the pieces to meet you there.

    Scars to Stewardship #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    Scars to Stewardship #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT From Scars to Stewardship: Your Trial, Your Testimony The Scripture "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." (2 Corinthians 1:4 KJV) The Expansion We often wonder why we must walk through the fire, but the truth is that your pain becomes your platform. The very struggles you endure are designed to give you a voice for those still in the dark. When you allow God to redeem your story, your trial becomes your testimony, turning your deepest hurts into powerful instruments of grace. God does not waste a single tear. He does not allow you to suffer merely for the sake of pain, but for the sake of preparation. Your scars are not marks of shame; they are credentials of survival and evidence of God's healing power. When you encounter someone walking the same path of sorrow you once trod, your empathy is more potent than any theory. You can look them in the eye and say, "I have been where you are, and God brought me through." This is the divine cycle of stewardship: receiving comfort from the Father so that you can dispense it to His children. Bible Examples 1. Joseph: He endured the betrayal of his brothers and the injustice of a foreign prison. Yet, his years of suffering prepared him to steward the resources of Egypt and save his family from famine. His trial gave him the wisdom to lead and the grace to forgive (Genesis 50:20). 2. The Woman with the Issue of Blood: She spent twelve years in physical pain and social isolation. Once healed, her testimony became a public declaration of Christ's power, encouraging others to believe in the healing touch of the Savior (Mark 5:25 to 34). 3. Paul: He suffered beatings, shipwrecks, and imprisonments. Instead of letting these trials break him, he used them to demonstrate the sufficiency of God's grace, famously stating that strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Action Points 1. Identify a past trial that God has healed in your life and write down how His grace sustained you. 2. Pray for a specific person in your circle who is currently struggling with a similar trial and offer them a word of encouragement. 3. Shift your perspective from asking "Why is this happening to me?" to "Who can I help once I overcome this?"

    PLAYING HURT #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    PLAYING HURT #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 If you watch enough football, you will see it. The star receiver takes a hard hit in the second quarter. He is limping, he is taped up, and he is clearly not 100 percent. But he does not go to the locker room. He stays on the sideline, breathes through the pain, and goes back in for the fourth quarter. In the sports world, we call it playing hurt. It is not ideal, and it is certainly not the way you want to play, but the game does not stop just because you are injured. The clock keeps running, and the team still needs you on the field. I have realized that the Christian walk is a lot like that. We live in a sin cursed world, and if we wait until we are completely healed, until every trauma is erased and every wound is closed, before we engage in the mission of God, we will spend our entire lives on the sidelines. We do not have that luxury. There are people around us whose eternity is in the balance, and they do not need a perfect person; they need a present one. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 The jar of clay is the part of us that is cracked. The playing hurt part. The beauty of the Gospel is that God does not wait for the jar to be repaired before He puts the treasure inside. He uses the cracks to let the light leak out. Tonight, if you are limping, if you have been hurt by the very people you should have been safe with, know that you can still be useful. You do not have to be whole to be helpful. Tonight, as you reflect, consider these three things: 1. Acknowledge the limp. Do not pretend you are not hurting. God cannot heal what you will not admit is broken, and you cannot lead others through a valley you are pretending is not there. 2. Stay in the game. Do not let your injury become your identity. You are a child of God who happens to be hurting, not a hurt person who happens to be a child of God. 3. Lean on the Trainer. You can play hurt, but you cannot play alone. Bring your wounds to the Great Physician every single night. Let Him tape you up for tomorrow. You do not have to be perfect to be purposeful. Stay on the field.

    THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT There’s an old Shaker song that goes: 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, it will be in the valley of love and delight. The folks who wrote that weren't chasing a "slower pace of life" for the sake of a trend. They believed simplicity itself was a gift from God, not a discipline you white-knuckle your way through. "Coming down to where you ought to be" is humility. That is obedience. And the promise is that on the other side of that surrender isn't drudgery; it is a valley of love and delight. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." — Matthew 6:33 We live in a loud, cluttered, complicated world, friend. There are more voices competing for our attention than any generation before us has ever known. Most of us try to out-manage that complexity with more calendars, more systems, and more effort. But Jesus already gave us the way through: Seek first. Not seek first and also. Just seek first. When the one thing is rightly ordered, everything else finds its place. Tonight, try these three things to find that simplicity: 1. Guard the intake. Limit the voices shouting for your attention before you even touch your to-do list. 2. Finish one thing. Stop splitting yourself across half-finished tasks and see one thing through to the end. 3. Anchor your identity. Remind yourself that your standing with God is more important than the demands of everyone pulling at you. You don't have to solve the whole complicated mess of your life tonight. Just come down to where you ought to be. Seek Him first, and let Him lead you into the valley.

    CASHING IN #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    CASHING IN #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Back in 1972, Jimmy Rush and his father were eating at Wintzell's Oyster House in Mobile, Alabama, when they spotted a sign on the wall. It was a joke, a classic piece of restaurant humor. It read: "Free oysters to any man 80 years old accompanied by his father." The staff told them the offer was technically genuine, but in the history of the place, no one had ever actually claimed it. It seemed impossible. But Jimmy and his dad decided right then to make it a lifelong goal. Fifty-four years later, in February 2026, Jimmy walked back into that restaurant on his 80th birthday. And right beside him was his 99-year-old father. They didn't just find a sign; they found a promise that had outlasted decades, owners, and the skepticism of everyone who had seen that sign and walked away. "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by Jesus Christ." — 2 Corinthians 1:20 Most of us treat God’s promises like that sign on the wall. We see them in the Bible, we think they’re beautiful, but we assume they aren't actually for us or that the wait is just too long to be realistic. But the nature of a promise isn't found in how quickly it's delivered; it's found in the character of the one who made it. Tonight, consider these three things: 1. Stop treating the Word as a suggestion. The promise is genuine. It isn't a "maybe" or a "perhaps." It is a settled fact based on God's character. 2. Accept the timeline. Some promises are delivered in a moment, and others are lifelong journeys. The delay is not a denial. 3. Stay in the game. The only way to miss the promise is to stop walking toward it. The Promise-Keeper is still in business. Hold on. Keep walking. Your "Amen" is coming.
