Okay, here it is.
This is to the men out there that are sitting home on Saturday night or Sundays instead of going to a place of worship and developing a relationship with God.
Now I already have heard several statements that I catorgerize as "excuses" or "cop outs". The most used one;
"I don't need to go to church to have a relatationship with God."
"I have not found a church that fits my needs."
"Church is for the women."
"If the church called me for something I would help out as much as I could."
"I don't like the music.", "I already know God, what am I going to be taught?"
ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Let me ask you a question, the statements all refer to who? Thats correct. it is all about the "I". God is never about Himself, He is about YOU! All He asks is that you develope a knowledge or relationship with Him.
Now I know that word "relationship" can be hard for some men to get a hold of. How can I get a "personal relationship" with someone I can only read about? How can I talk to someone I can't see?
These are all the answers to why you need to go to church. This is not even touching the idea of what God is asking us to "BE" as men of God.
Here is the deal. I will begin to pray for a response to these next few blogs and if God brings men to this page I will begin to post weekly studies and/or teachings that will be directly pointed towards men and a new relationship with God and other men.
Men were and are still appointed to very important roles in the world, our communities and our families which include THE CHURCH. It is time for us to take our positions as leaders and start doing what God asks us to do and start reclaiming this world for God, our families and all those we effect.
Blessings to all of you and PLEASE it starts with you. It starts with you understanding how important this is and respond with a comment to this letter.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and starting the walk on this path we are now on.
Have a great and blessed day.
Pastor Mike

I'm already there filling a purple chair, hear the messages from the pulpit. Sometimes it seems the farther I go in my walk the less I know or I don't measure up to the standard God is loooking for in me. But I do know that He will alway love me and be there for me. Thank you Lord!!
