December 12, 2017 – The Intergenerational Church

One of our friends in men’s ministry has written a great book: The Intergenerational Church. This unique resource helps better our understanding about past generations and how we can begin to better communicate with younger people. I love his opening that states, “In addition to honoring the past, we are to look to future generations and take some responsibility for them…”

August 15, 2017 – Calling Out Our Men

Too many men believe the Christian Church is not relevant. Research also shows that men are struggling in many areas of their personal lives with depression, despair, loneliness, pornography, deception, debt, and feel spiritually empty. Our culture and lifestyle continue to ask for more from men without regard to a man’s dedication to their faith or family. Many of us have problems saying “enough is enough”.

Priorities for a Father

Priorities for a Father

Our nation continues to move toward what is known as a “fatherless society.” One-third of children are born out of wedlock; twenty-four million kids don’t live with their biological fathers half of all marriages end in divorce. Fatherlessness is a...

June 27, 2017 – Thinking of Others

They assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash but with a relish to run the race to the finish, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to weep.

June 6, 2017 – Rest and Surrender

Jesus offers rest for us at the core of who we are when we surrender. We can be confident that He is walking with us, partnering with us in our journey (the yoke he offers) and thankful that the burden we are getting in exchange for the one we’re carrying will be easy to bear. Sounds like a no-brainer deal to me.

Why Men Go to Church

Why Men Go to Church

The good news is that men desperately need what only a loving, nurturing, and Christ-centered church can offer. Through the ministry of the church, the following needs of a man can be met: To know God and really feel His unconditional love (Rom. 1:20) To find rest for...
Doing Effective Ministry To Men

Doing Effective Ministry To Men

Effectiveness requires intentionally using the time and resources necessary to develop and maintain a dynamic ministry to men. A group of guys meeting at a local diner once a week for Bible study does not constitute a vibrant men’s ministry. Sponsoring a monthly...

“If it (your Spiritual gift) is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.” Romans 12:8 (Emphasis...

November 30, 2015 – Thanksgiving

“We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers; constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,” – 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 We...

November 23, 2015 – A Heart of Thankfulness

Thanksgiving is a special time of the year. After a very busy summer and early fall Louise and I had an opportunity to catch our breath and reflect upon one of our favorite Bible verses, “Let us come before Him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 95:2 We praise God for a...

November 9, 2015 – Do Unto Others

A few of our supporters have asked me why is our ministry still involved with Special Kids Day Programs and other events for disabled vets? Without a doubt our current emphasis on ministry to men and assisting local churches in reaching their communities presents more...

November 2, 2015 – A Prayer of Hope

During my daily devotions I have been studying the book of Daniel. While Daniel penned the prayer found in Daniel 9 almost 2,700 years ago it is very appropriate for Americans to embrace it today. If we replace the word “Jerusalem” with “America” we can appreciate the...
