[From the 8-14-06 post]
2 Tim 2:22 (NLT) "Run from anything that stimulates youthful lust. Follow anything that makes you want to do right. Pursue faith and love and peace, and enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts."
Isn't this a great verse for us men!! This gives us guidance to filter out wrong actions, wrong attitudes, wrong thoughts, wrong intentions and filter in what is right. Among us Christians, It is good to learn from each other and take our advice and encouragement. We don’t have to rely on Mark all the time. There are plenty of men who are "Real Men of Faith." It doesn't mean that the "men" are perfect, but it is their testimonies and experiences they share can give us positive criteria for making a decision on which path we choose to take. Listen to your heart "MEN." Jeremiah did not write 29:13 for nothing:
Jeremiah 29:13 "And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." (NKJV)
Prayer:
"Lord, Thank you for giving us the boost to get this D.B.O.B. off the ground. I believe you will empower us with your spirit and guide us how to become better Christians. In Jesus' name, Amen!"

Men! Let's do this challenge. What are some things the men need to filter out (wrong things; evil) and allow in (right things; righteousness):
Things Men Need To Filter Out:
1. Me-centered mentality
2. Lust of the eye/flesh
3. Laziness
4. Looking to quarrel with words
5. Pride
Things Men Need To Allow In:
1. God "IS DEFINITELY" #1 in my life. (If you agree, then mean it!)
2. Other-centered mentality (serve); do to others you want them to do to you (Golden Rule)
3. Compassion for others.
4. Christ-like example.
5. Study the Scriptures & pray!
