9/18/20 Hold Nothing, Have Everything
The world chases after possessions. They’re some of the gods we serve, whether we know it or not. Most of us men go to work to gain possessions of some sort, whether it’s bigger houses, cars, clothes – anything we need more than we need intimacy with God. Some possessions are necessities; others are the […]

9/17/20 The Turning Point
In all of our lives, there are decisions, milestones, intersections, and crossroads that determine direction for us and our families. They have either a positive or negative impact on those around us, depending on our spiritual maturity. As men, we are to guide the ones we steward with the wisdom we gain in fellowship with […]

9/16/20 Are You Doing or Becoming?
Most men are doers! We take pride in our accomplishments because society has trained us to do so. Our dads were taught to do, and passed that mentality on to us just as their dads did. In Christ, however, the Holy Spirit is teaching us to become like Jesus. Anybody can do. Few can completely […]

9/15/20 Be a Servant Leader
There is no greater example of the character of Christ being displayed than one who serves another. In the family dynamic, nothing speaks louder than example, especially examples of service. Even the hardest of hearts notices someone walking the walk of Christ-like behavior instead of simply talking the talk. Bottom line, Father God is looking […]

9/14/20 Journaling
I know that journaling may seem like a topic unrelated to raising up a child or restoring a marriage; but in reality, they work hand in hand because journaling only comes from quietly waiting on God. That kind of quiet – far from the din of everything we do as men – is so very […]

9/12/20 Getting Honest with Yourself
Men, if you are typical of the Christian man of today, you function as if you are unable to recognize your spiritual impotence to the point that you do not desire to see the character of Christ reproduced completely in you or in those around you as your priority in life. As a typical Christian […]

9/11/20 Too Many Times
When I was young in the Lord, I had many besetting sins. Even though I loved the Lord with all my heart, the bondages had not yet fallen away. The Lord was removing them one at a time and I had many left to address. Once after many failures, I cried out to the Lord, […]

9/10/20 My Weakness Brings His Strength
So many men, whether they admit it or not, don’t like to be labeled as weak in any area. All the criteria dictated by society tells men from the time they are little boys that they need to be strong and good in bed, must have answers; and, in general, never let anyone know that […]

9/09/20 I Don’t Have Time
I once knew a person who needed some major changes in her life. When discussing all the things she needed to address, she let out a sigh in exasperation. “My days are consumed with just surviving,” she lamented. She continued saying something like, “I don’t think I can take on one more thing, no matter […]

9/08/20 The Highest Office
Do you realize that as a man, you have been given the highest office in the most important institution Father God has ordained? God created the family unit to produce and nurture every person who will eventually hold every office in every land in the world. Because of that, there is no bigger honor you […]

9/07/20 The Difference
A while back, I had the opportunity to observe two families. The setting was at a swimming pool at a hotel. One family was Christian, and the three children had been home schooled all of their lives with God as the center of their schooling and the Bible as the foundation for all that they […]

9/05/20 The Unaware Plague
As I do research for our books and other ministry outreaches, I am pretty astounded by how unaware most people are of the war they are in. They don’t see overwhelming business demands as a tool of the enemy to nullify their real effectiveness. They don’t understand that hours before the television set help erode […]
