Resources for Men of Your Church for Father's Day

Dad and Son If your church is looking for a dynamic way to honor your men on Father's Day, check out www.maninthemirror.org. You can buy best-selling Christian books in cases of 12 or 48 up to 85% off regular cover price through Man in the Mirror's "Books by the Box" program. In tough times like this, here is an economical way to honor the men around you. Special Father's Day recognitions can be a great way to encourage your men and boost your ministry to them.

This year's offerings include "The Measure of a Man" by Gene Getz, "He Still Moves Stones" by Max Lucado and "How to Survive the Economic Meltdown" by Pat Morley and several other titles. You can order online or by phone at 866-690-0954. Act soon, the ordering deadline for Father's Day is June 5th. Never underestimate the power of good Christian literature - it's amazing how often a man will get hold of a book and then God will use the book to get hold of the man.
National Father's Day Rally Set for Lincoln Memorial 
Father Son WACMM has joined a coalition of ministries and organizations including the National Center for Fathering and Man in the Mirror to sponsor the first National Fatherhood Rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, June 20 from 10AM-2:00PM.

The Rally is an effort to change the culture for today's children and future generations by calling men to make a formal commitment to their children and then challenging them to fulfill it. By Father's Day, the goal is for 1,000,000 men to make their commitment to love their children, coach their children, model for their children, encourage other children, and enlist other dads to join the team. To find out more about the Rally visit fathersdayrally.com
Are You Onboard A Cruise Ship or Battle Ship?
cruise ship A. W. Tozer wrote, "The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians...The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks."

We could also say that for many men today Christian life is more a cruise ship rather than a battleship. Are you mostly interested in wanting your needs accommodated and having a comfortable experience? Or are you looking to be equipped for battle and deployed for action in enemy occupied territory? Cruise ships are created for the pleasure of those paying to sail with them. Everything on the ship is for comfort and emotional well being. There are lots of options for everything including what food you like, what shows you attend, and what activities you choose to do. The design of the ship is opulent and pleasing to the eyes. It seems everything shines and glimmers! Battleships on the other hand are built for mission, not for comfort. They are equipped with weapons of warfare. Every sailor knows why they are onboard and what their job is. There are places to sleep, shower and eat but the primary purpose of everything is to complete the mission.What ship are you on?
