Maximized Manhood

The world makes the bad "good" and the good "bad" in our minds through television, media, and other stuff. We as Christian men need to make the "Godly" hero's in our homes. It is the aim of every seducing spirit and doctrine of devil to demean, degenerate, and debilitate your manhood, to sap your christian virility. In so doing, they cause the power of Christ to have little effect in your life. We need to reject such spirits and doctrines. Cast them from your home and family.

As a man, we have three functions in the home and community. We are to guide, guard, and govern. The greatest addiction in America is not marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, or other drugs. It's television. Don't be the absentee father even though you might be present. Don't go to work, come home and watch TV. Be involved w/your wife and kids life. The best daddy is the one that uses TV to make the godly of the land his hero's. Men produce Nations. A Nation is great because it's men are great. For America to recapture its greatness, its men must recapture their manhood. Manhood is in spirit. It has nothing to do with physical size but strength of character. While men look for better methods, God looks for better men.

The greatest thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Life and death are in our words and decisions. Today's society is suffering from absent fathers. The absentee father is the curse of our day. Quality time is when the family eats together, prays together, works together, and shares friends together. The prayer that produces intimacy between a man and a woman does the same in the family. The man is the leader. A fathers noblest action is giving himself to his wife, his children, and to God.

"I'm convinced that the major reason for so much counseling in Christian lives today is that there is so little praying. When people spend time in the Word of God, meditating in it, praying over it, confessing it, the Word will become their counselor." Edwin Louis Cole

When the charm wears off, you have nothing but character left. Men have conquered mountains, oceans, and outer space, but the greatest achievement of all is when man conquers himself. Better is he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. There is a difference between reading the Bible and living it. As much difference between heaven and hell, Egypt and Canaan.

Don't let someone else create your world for you. For when you do, they will always make it too small. God has big plans for you. Enjoy Canaan land in the totality of your life. Marriage, parenting, profession, finances, education. In every area of your life. Be a Man. Live the life of Maximized Manhood.

Manhood and Christ-likeness are synonymous. The man dependent on Christ has the amazing ability to maintain a steady ship on a stormy sea.
