Men; We Need To Step Up

Today I want to talk a little about men; what we are called to do and acting upon our duties as men.

I went with our family to our church to see the movie Courageous and wow what a great movie. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend that you do. I have the link to the web site below.

Courageous: The Movie

This movie will challenge every man who is a Dad and Husband. I left our church deeply challenged as a Father and Husband. I don’t want to be mediocre.

It calls us as men to lead our families, to teach our kids about God, to protect our families, to be a great husband. Sadly all over America we as men have and are neglecting these duties. We are missing the mark.

We need to make time for our Wives and kids. It should be our priority.

If we don’t lead our kids and be a Dad to them then the streets and gangs will. So I am encouraging you today to make time for your family; spend quality time with them. Do it because you get to and not because you have to. Lead your family in doing family devotions, pray with them and for them.

Let’s honor God by honoring our families.

Hebrews 12:10 NIV

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

 

Deuteronomy 12:28 NIV

Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

 

Psalm 127:3 NIV

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.

 

 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 (ESV)

 

Take a stand with me today; be courageous

 

Keep it real
