Men Make A Difference

For years while I was growing up I thought men didn't go to church unless they had to. Men were not leaders, were not teachers, and did not get involved. How refreshing it is to see men get involved and become what God has called them to be.

Pastors, go after your men. They are looking for someone who will challenge them to rise to what it means to be a real man. Jesus called 12 men to join Him in fulfilling the plan of God. They were real men, hard working and able to make a difference. 11 of those men went on to change the world.

You may need to change the way you do things, and become more of a leader, but it will be worth it. You may need to invest yourself in things you wouldn't normally be interested in, but it will be worth it. You may have to watch a race, shoot a gun, bait a hook, or don a hard hat, but it will be worth it.

God appreciates what it means to be a man, it was He who challenged Job to "quit yourself like a man." Now it is our turn to lead this generation of men into a personal, practical, powerful relationship with the Father.
