Where Have All The Men Gone?

The film “Courageous” inspired men to commit themselves to their God-ordained responsibilities. “The Resolution” is the bold declaration they pledged to live out and hold each other accountable to.

Men: Don not watch if you want to be an “OK” father, husband and friend. Do watch if you want to be challenged to be great. I fall short, we all do, but I keep getting-up with the help of my brothers. It is never about us…

 -Jeff Boutin

So I ask you…where have all the men gone?

Men, run the race while you have breath and finish strong! Don’t be complacent. Don’t settle. Strive for greatness. Be better then the status quo.

Are you ready to man up?

What ‘Tron: Legacy’ Can Teach Us About Seeing What’s Right In Front Of Us

What ‘Tron: Legacy’ Can Teach Us About Seeing What’s Right In Front Of Us

As the illusions of this worldview spin around me out of time and frame, the walls of my tower of Babel crumble and fall! One could almost hear the demonic laughter and cheers coming from the darkness of the abyss as each stone smashes to the ground like hardened drops of rain.

It is always night when a man goes from Christ to follow his own purposes. It is always night when a man listens to the call of evil rather than the summons of good. It is always night when hate puts out the light of love. It is always night when a person turns his back on Jesus.

 —William Barclay

What Contentment Is Not

What Contentment Is Not

Contentment is essentially a matter of accepting from God’s hand what He sends because we know that He is good and therefore it is good.

 -J. I. Packer

A long season has passed since I had to leave the comfort of my own home. This journey was humbling as I had to walk through the transient way of life from a basement floor, to the top of a barn, to a single room, to this apartment that the Lord blessed me with. Walking this out, I arrived to a place that represented some sense of emotional and financial stability where I could stand on my own and have my own place.

Theodore Roosevelt

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat.

Why “Game Of Thrones” Is Not An Original Idea

Why “Game Of Thrones” Is Not An Original Idea

We all have desires in life, but what happens when our desires are so self-serving that the ripple effect has a long reaching negative impact on others. I was reading about the story of King Zedekiah and I learned that Game of Thrones is not an original idea.
