There is a lot of talk about what a disciple of Jesus looks like, you can see that in previous posts: What does a disciple look like? How can you spot a disciple of Jesus? I thought that these passages of Scripture help define genuine faith of a follower of Christ: Evidence that proves nothing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Here is a great word from pastor Rick Warren about small groups. We may attract attenders through the Internet and a worship service, but disciples are made in small groups. Small groups provide the kind of accountability and support we need to mature as believers, so here are four reasons why they are important to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have recently discovered that we find Superman in Psalm 45! Take a look at this: In your majesty, ride out to victory, defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds! (Psalm 45:4) When I was younger, I remember watching the Adventures of Superman on our black-and-white Motorola television set. I wanted […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We recently showed the COURAGEOUS movie at King’s Grant, with about 230 people in attendance. I hope the men heard the intentional challenge at the end and we want to provide some practical “Next Steps” for a dad ready to make a change. A two-hour film does not bring change, only hopes and good intentions. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We ask our young children all the time, “What would you like to be when you grow up?” Then we often expect a reply in terms of career choices. In Paul’s letter to his protégé, he didn’t instruct Timothy to become a power pastor of a megs-church; rather he reminded him of who he was; […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Men, we often don’t lead our families as we should. I sense that most wives are aching for their husbands to be the spiritual driver in the home. Most of the time we drift and outsource that leadership somewhere else. The Courageous movie will challenge each husband and father to make a resolution… to be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Life is not to be lived in solitude. We experience life together, especially in the area of spiritual development. Imagine not learning from the mistakes and successes of others! Let’s not reinvent the wheel, so let’s learn from other men. That is what the Men of Steel can become, a place to receive and give […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I can imagine that nearly every newspaper and magazine in the English-speaking world uses a word or phrase in every issue that originated in the Bible. Consider how many of the following words and phrases, all first found in the Bible, have made their way into our everyday conversation. (Note the phrase may be from […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We are involved in relationships all the time, and sometimes it can get messy… at home, at school, the neighborhood and at work. I have read books about how to cope with difficult people but sometimes you just might need a little practical counsel on what to do when conflict arises at work. When facing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Resolution statements in the Courageous movie are based upon the highest priorities for men in God’s Word. Each statement describes a commitment you should resolve to live by as the leader of your home. Each of them is a call to action, and living by them will ultimately help you stand before God one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
"The biggest deterrent to growth in most churches is lack of confidence in God's supernatural power to grow His church. We are obsessed with our own responsibility to find resources for growth. When our natural resources seem limited, our vision shrinks and we accept mediocrity. We can't grow the church, but God can! We don't have the resources, but He does! "
(Ken Hemphill, Revitalizing the Sunday Morning Dinosaur)
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." (Acts 20:24)
