specialTopic: Psalm 1:1 - 3
WANTED: Christian men willing to answer the Lord's call to live godly lives in an unrighteous world. A man with this mindset will understand the importance of:
Ordering his life with Christian counsel. A God - fearing man is not too self - sufficient or proud to ask for help. He seeks biblical counsel regularly so that he can succeed according to God's principles. He is open to advice based on scriptural truths, whether for his home life, personal finances, or business matters. Many of us, however, are prone to seek opinions from those who appear successful, even if they do not share our faith. How wise can ungodly men be when they have chosen to live without God? How smart are we when we seek their advice?
Limiting his deepest friendships to fellow believers. Only the like - minded - those who love Jesus and desire to follow Him - are suitable to be intimate friends of a believer. Remember, our companions can influence us positively or negatively. Those who reject Jesus will never guide us toward Him. Those who are casual in their faith can influence us away from God's standards. While the Lord expects us to relate to all sorts of people, it is wise to restrict our "inner circle" to Christ - followers.
Being committed to defending the truth. Concerned with the things of the Lord and His church, a godly man will take a stand against the profane use of Jesus' name. Not only will he speak the truth about unrighteous patterns of behavior and their destructiveness; he will also oppose ridicule of the Bible or other Christians.
MEN, THE LORD CALLS YOU TO GODLINESS. WILL YOU SAY YES?
