Challenge for Men

This last weekend, I had the privilege of going to "Grace Bearers" a mens retreat held in Oak Harbor, Wa. I was a good time of being in the Word and seeking God's direction... I came away challenged in my heart to begin a men's group. One in which men can come and meet with other men for encouragement, strength and prayer.
I have a strong sense that God is calling out men in this day and age to step up to the plate and become men of Christ. To become equipped to lead our families and churches in such a way that Christ is so evident that He is all the world sees, in and through our daily lives. It's like God has drawn a line in the sand and is waiting to see who will stand with Him.
We as men need to be accountable to each other and to God so that we can be protected when the darts of the enemy come. The group will be Christ centered and Bible based... with out that it'll be just another social event, and that's not the intention.
2 Tim. 4:16-17 says " All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
I hope you will join me in praying for the men of this nation, that God will stir our hearts in such a way that the gates of hell will not prevail over our families and beyond any longer.
It's time...
