Joe Bezotte our very own Bad to the bone Bro!
We have a problem in America and it has crawled into the church…
The pussification of men!
Womens lib
Political correctness
No father figures
We think it’s wrong to be violent or go to war
Our diets suck
We don’t play anymore – we Xbox
The patronization of men in the media (we are buffoons, stupid, childish, the woman is always right, we are whiners)
We have been duped into delaying career, marriage, children… we live at home and play games and eat junk food and work at a dead end job
Our testosterone is at an all time low
Our passion for God is at an all time low
Our belief that we can make a difference is at an all time low
What happened to men?
Jordan Peterson in his book 12 Rules for life says “why would a woman want a guy in todays world… when he can’t bring anything to the table that she herself can’t already do herself”. Yikes!
There are many reasons… but mostly because of our fathers and our grandfathers not being there and or not setting an example of who God is.
But let’s let the Apostle Paul speak into our lives as a father figure today. he writes…
Take your share of[or, Share in] suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on service gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to satisfy the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. (2 Timothy 2:3-6 RSV
3 of the toughest occupations to express what our Christian walk is like.
We are called to fight…
Coincidentally in
October, Britain's worst professional boxer, Peter Buckley,
announced he will retire after his next bout. He has lost 88 in a
row, and, overall, his record is 43-256.
Why Keep losing? He responded it’s not about losing and its not about winning… its about fighting – God made me a fighter!
*you are a man of God, that means you are a fighter. You will not back down sharing the love of God and his gospel regardless of what the world says!
- There is a very sweet woman at the gym, she is Jehovas witness… I lovingly tell her that only a faith in Jesus Christ can save you. Her bible has been tampered with by man and she needs to know the truth in order to know Christ personally and enter heaven.
- it’s in love, but it aint easy, and it feels very uncomfortable!
But that’s my job, I am a fighter.
As an athlete we understand we do a whole lot of practicing and working out for maybe just one play that will make the difference. The olympics are years of work for just a few seconds win or lose!
We as men train in the scriptures, read and pray and obey and we subject our bodies and minds to Christ and his spirit… and maybe just for a few minutes of Victory. But that is what we do!
Farmers use God’s seasons and plant their seed completely trusting in God. He brings the weather, the sun, rain, the bugs etc…
A farmer can’t curse the seasons, it’s all he has to work with. He trust God to bring fruit regardless.
We as men of God don’t get to choose our season, our weather, our challenges… but we trust God to bring fruit in our lives regardless as we plant his seed in our hearts and lives.
Paul says to do that requires the dedication of a soldier, the discipline of an athlete, and the diligence of a farmer.
