Iron Sharpens Iron: Men's Groups

“Who is going to save the church? Do not look to the priests.
Do not look to the bishops. It’s up to you.”  -  Fulton Sheen

Stay Tuned...it all depends on YOU!! 

One of the later catalytic effects of fasting is:  "The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from  ages past you shall raise up; 'Repairer of the breach,' they shall call you,  'Restorer of ruined homesteads' " (Is 58:12). Our culture of death is by  definition a culture of broken relationships. We have mass-produced ruined  homesteads. If you will let the Lord rebuild these ancient ruins for your sake,  your fasting and obedient follow-up to fasting is exceptionally important to  the world. You are the very person the world needs desperately (From Presentation Ministries)

"You want to change the world, but you don't even know how to change a tire."

While this is a good, snappy, and likley truthful response to the "OK, Boomer" crowd, it is more of an indictment of how WE dropped the ball in passing on our knowledge, our skills, our faith.

Men: Let's teach, let's lead.

Male friendship has always been a precious thing. It’s worth fighting for. The first and best way to do this is to teach young boys what it means to be a friend. Sharing emotions and normal physical affection are not inherently sexual acts. But on a societal level, restoring friendship to its proper palace means keeping sexuality in its proper place. 

If we don’t, it will keep ruining the relationships men – and all people – need the most.
