"Where are you men of courage?" This quote from the movie "Courageous" is fitting for today's men. I have to ask that question of myself daily. Where are you man of courage? Maybe it should be, where are you men of God? Many men today have disappeared from the front lines in the war on the family. They have gone AWOL in the war against Christianity. They just sit back and watch as God's definition of marriage is defiled. In the society of today many men of God have allowed the World to dictate when, where and how we will worship our God. In many cases, if we will even be allowed to worship our God. All the while we wonder why our marriages are falling apart, why our children have fallen away and why God no longer speaks to us.
Men need to stand up for their God, their wives and their children. Men need to take their rightful place as the Priests of their home, the head of their household and lead their families in the ways of God. Men need to honor God's Will in their lives and should be a servant leader in their church, communities and in the workplace. Men should be examples for their families and to other men and boys and live their testimony daily.
How do you start? You start on your knees. A man is strongest when he is weak and humble before the Lord. When he bows himself down and submits himself to God in prayer and fasting. Most men, including myself, are too full of pride to be humble. They believe that others will see them as weak. God sees an humble man as strong and will honor his humbleness before Him. If you want to see changes in your family, in your church in your community or in your workplace, you must start on your knees. A man who prays is a man of courage.
