I have been
thinking quite awhile on what to talk about. So many things that we could get
into when it comes to a men’s meeting but one really sticks out to me. What are
we doing? I mean, what are we really doing? As men we have so many expectations
on us that come from God and ones that have been put on us from man. I’m here
to tell you today we put way too much on the expectations put on us from man.
We need to get back to the basics and back in the bible.
Personal Level
How about
this, if you were to ask someone you work with right now would they say you
were a Christian? What do you think they would say about you and not what you
would want them to say but what they would say from actually what you do and
act like. Would they be able to say that they have even heard God come out of
your mouth? (And the people that know you go to church don’t count.) We need to
be telling the people that don’t go to church. Do they even know that you go to
church or even know the church name? It is always nice to say we want more
people in the church but more people won’t come if they haven’t heard the word
or how about this, they don’t want to go to church because of the way you act
or talk? We all know what I am talking about; you even think it in your mind. I
can’t believe he just said that or man can you believe she just did that. And I’m
not even just talking about cussing or carrying on, this also means the way you
talk to people and treat them. Do you go above and beyond in your community
without being asked? Do you let work or
something you want to do keep you from reading the word, helping a neighbor or
praying? You don’t have to change
everything now but you need to look deep into your own lives to make sure you
are doing the right thing. I had to battle this with video games, some of us
hunt, fish, or even work keeps us from doing what God wants us to do. So I will
ask again on a personal level, what are you doing?
