Today is Memorial Day. I suspect most of us have experienced some loss specific to this day of remembrance. My thanks to all who have provided the ultimate sacrifice. I appreciate you bearing with me as we have spent a month unpacking the 10 Disciplines of a Godly Man. Using 1 Timothy 4:7-8 as our […]
Over the last three weeks we have been unpacking a terrific study by R. Kent Hughes entitled the 10 Disciplines of a Godly Man. I love this study! It is an INTENTIONAL effort to help Men of God embrace the urgency of Paul’s admonition to his protégé Timothy, as found in 1 Timothy 4:7-8. Paul reminds Timothy that “while bodily training […]
Over the last two weeks we have been unpacking a study by R. Kent Hughes entitled the 10 Disciplines of a Godly Man. Hughes reminds us that men will never get anywhere in life without discipline, and doubly so in spiritual matters. Men of Intention MUST BE committed to “training themselves for godliness” (1 Timothy 4:7-8). This takes a great […]
Last week we began to unpack an article by R. Kent Hughes entitled the 10 Disciplines of a Godly Man. The spring board is an admonition from the Apostle Paul to his protégé, Timothy, as recorded for us in 1 Timothy 4:7-8; “Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in […]
My friend Rob passed along this great resource to me a while ago. It is called “10 Disciplines of a Godly Man” written by R. Kent Hughes. I believe you will be as challenged by these ideas as I have been. We were made to reflect His Image (Genesis 1:26). INTENTIONAL men know this requires discipline. None of us are inherently […]
I discovered a little something the other day…did you know that there is only one recorded prayer in the book of Proverbs? A man named “Agur son of Jakeh” who defines himself in verse 2 as being “more stupid” (I know great grammar) than any other man. I love this guy! I think I am pretty […]
Last week, ISIS attacked two Coptic churches in Egypt ending the earthly lives of 44 Christians and leaving 122 injured. This tragedy leads some to question why an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful God, who knew the attacks would happen, did nothing to prevent them. Pastor Jim Denison reminds us “God did not cause these attacks. […]
Tony Romo announced last week that he will retire to become a television football commentator. He is arguably one of the NFL’s most successful quarterbacks. His first NFL appearance was in October of 2006. His debut was a bit questionable, as was his productivity throughout the remainder of that season. As he entered training camp […]
We all lost a very dear brother in Christ last week; Paul English was truly an INTENTIONAL man. If you knew Paul in the least, you would affirm that he was a man on a clearly defined discipleship path. The ‘Indicators of Spiritual Growth’ that we spent the last two weeks unpacking were consistently on […]
Last week we began to look at some practical indicators of spiritual growth. Essentially, is there a simple, effective discipleship path to achieve consistent spiritual growth? Taking a cue from “The Unstuck Group” we introduced the first three of six indicators that allow us to recognize positive movement in our journey toward Christ-likeness. Here are […]
