Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood by Family Life founder Dennis Rainey is one the finest books available on biblical manhood. We highly recommend it! Making it even more powerful is a 10-session video study (three DVD's of 25-35 min. sessions) led by some of the church's most gifted, respected teachers on what it means to be a man of God. Check out these great resources HERE.

 

WACMM will also be helping to facilitate Stepping Up One-Day Conferences in 2013 across the mid-Atlantic region. If your church would be interested in being a host, contact us at dave@wacmm.org

identity
           

"The fundamental problem we have in this world is that we don't understand who we truly are-children of God made in his image-and define ourselves by any number of things other than Jesus. Only by knowing our false identity apart from Christ in comparison to our true identity in him can we finally deal with and overcome the issues in our lives."

- Mark Driscoll, Sr. Pastor,

Mars Hill Church, Seattle WA

Why It's Impossible for Worldly Success to Satisfy
by Pat Morley

Worldly success has eluded a Christian friend of mine for his entire life. What's ironic to me is that he is as depressed that he didn't achieve worldly success as I was when I did. Two opposite circumstantial results--same depressive outcome.

 

There is no sin in worldly success, per se. But because worldly success is such a seductive idol, God in His wisdom has made it impossible for worldly success to satisfy--either by withholding it, removing it, or giving you so much that you gag on it.

 

The problem is that if you or I could find satisfaction in worldly success apart from God, we would. So to protect us from our own sinful natures, God in His grace frustrates our ambitions when they would destroy us.

 

And it's not really worldly success we want anyway, but the security, contentment, peace, and joy we think it will give us. By giving--or not giving--us worldly success, our Jealous God is teaching us to be satisfied in Him alone. Enjoy nice things if and when you can, but He is our security, contentment, peace, and joy.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year from WACMM
  Christmas

WACMM believes Godly men are foundational and as go the men so go the marriage, the families, the churches and the culture.

 

The Lord has expanded WACMM's reach from a tire store in Merrifield VA nearly 14 years to a ministry that impacts men throughout the mid-Atlantic region and across the nation. Almost 37,000 men have participated in WACMM events and over 150,000 men around the world have connected with us via our webpage and monthly e-newsletter.

 

Our friend and one of luminaries of the Christian men's movement Stu Weber had this to say about our ministry:

 

"I just wanted you to know that I think your WACMM email/internet "newsletter" is consistently the best resource on the net--on a personal and updated basis--that I know of for ministering to men. Keep up the great work! I greatly appreciate receiving it."

 

If you share our vision of ministry to men and believe in what we're doing, throw in with us. I'd love to talk to you about how you can become involved. You also can partner with us by making a financial investment to help cover our costs. To find out how, click HERE 

 

May the Lord bless you and keep you this holiday season,

 

Locking Arms Together,

 

Dave
