Show Notes

Many people today are asking the question, “has our society gone mad?” “Has our culture gone crazy?” Many people are saying, “I never thought I would see a day like today?”

As a result of the questions above, Dr. Grassi has written a book out of his passion to address such questions, called The Watchman — referring to the Old Testament role outlined for leaders in the church of that day. This is a clarion call for men to stand in the gap for their families, their pastors, their communities. We need to keep intruders out of our life. Begs the question: Where are godly men today?

How did a small group of people commandeer the overall agenda. This has happened politically, socially, culturally, in our schools, and in our businesses. It seems as if you object as a majority against what is a few people with a strong and aggressive work, progressive, liberal agenda, we are labeled as haters, mad and angry group of people.

This book has been written to speak to the root problem that needs to be addressed. This book also provides strong, solid, biblical direction which we will address the second episode of the two-part series.

There are two things in culture that stand out. The first is the failure of men to pursue and stand up for Godliness. The second is that there is a small angry group of people whom we have allowed to define our modern culture.

With so many children growing up without a biological father, with so many children having all female teachers in elementary school, we see that ratio in many of our children’s ministries in churches — so where does a young man have a Christian male role model in their life so they can see what biblical manhood (Kingdom Men – Tony Evans) is all about?

We are facing a dangerous time in our culture today. God has ordained men to be spiritual leaders in our homes, community, workplace, and our church. We are called to love those around us and to lead as Christ loved the church and ultimately gave his life to save us.

In the next episode we will provide some clarity on how to move forward to be one who is active in restoring a prevailing Biblical culture in the world in which we live. We will focus primarily on the family dynamics as that is where it has to begin.

We pray that men will step into the God-given opportunity to sound the clarion call to move back to biblical manhood and then lead the way.
