The Resolution for Men

Definition of Resolution:
 1) A firm decision to do or not to do something; a formal expression of opinion or intention agreed on by a legislative body, committee, or Formal meeting, after taking a vote.
 2) The action of solving a problem, dispute, or contentious matter.

I am expressing my thoughts and directing them to the men of this nation and of the world. The movie Courageous is the most eye opening movie I have seen in a long time. It shows how important God and family are together. The excitement festered and built up in me. I would just say that the Holy Spirit nudged my inner man and said that this was a wake up call. Now over the last year or more... The Lord has healed my marriage and restored my relationship with my children. Not to say that there has not been bumps in the road. I have teenagers for goodness sake. But, the time has come for us as men to stand up for God and for our Families. I started the book The Resolution for Men. It is a book that goes with the movie Courageous.
 The first chapter opens dramatically. For those that have not read it.. I wont ruin it for you. However I will tell you that the Lord has put us as Leaders in our household. This is not a calling but a commandment by God. So to not lead your house is like telling your father NO I will not do this. How do you expect your family to follow you when you wont follow your father. Children are our future and your Wife is a gift from God. When you do not lead the house spiritually then your already guilty.
Ask yourself this:
1) is your wife weary, worn out, and feels like she is carrying too much on her shoulders?
2)does your marriage lack clear direction, romance, and true intimacy?
3) are your children, whether young or grown, emotionally distant from you and spiritually apathetic toward God?
If yes to any one of these..........THEN MAN UP!!!!!!!!!
 Leading your family is A God-ordained responsibility on your part.
The Word of God  both show us that it is never too late to start doing the right thing. Past failures does not have to mean Future failures.
 I am going to start a Study of "THE RESOLUTION FOR MEN"
If interested in joining me on this then send me an email.
Lets take our Family back And rebuild the church as god intended it to be.
 I will leave you with this thought....If you don't have time for your family and God..then you need more then a study group...
 If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve:
weather the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites (america) in whose land you are living; BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. ( Joshua 24:15)
