Rebuilding A Marriage Culture Nehemiah-Style
In a world where same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states, how should men and women continue to stand firm on marriage? We stand firm by pursuing our God-given spouse, endlessly loving our children in a biblical way, and by rebuilding a marriage culture - Nehemiah style - that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ and in turn is used for our great good. We will stand firm on marriage no matter the cost.
To this end, WACMM locks arms with our brothers at the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW), authors of the brand new, highly recommended book Building A Marriage Culture: Renewal in the Ruins. Check out this straight talk, seventy-page clarion call to move to the sound of battle. It is for such a time as this that God's men live in the light of the power, truth, grace and freedom of the gospel! Read More

Dad Boots His Boys "Participation" Trophies
 James Harrison, the 37-year-old All-Pro linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, recently caused quite a stir with an Instagram post that took on America's "trophy culture." Harrison returned two "unearned" participation trophies his sons received and said: stated: "I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies! While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy. I'm sorry I'm not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best...cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better...not cry and whine until somebody gives you something to shut u up and keep you happy."Check a Video Story About Harrison and his two sons HERE |
Put This in Your Pipe and Smoke It
 "The great difficulty is to get [male] audiences to realize that you are preaching Christianity solely and simply because you happen to think it true; they always suppose you are preaching it because you like it or think it good for [them] or something of that sort." C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
"Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay - that's the gospel." - James McDonald
"90% of evangelicals have never shared their faith outside their family; 95% of church growth is from shuffling around existing Christians."- Pastor J. D.Greear
Jesus wasn't into programs to reach the world but into raising up men whom the world would follow. His men is his method to save the lost.
"Making disciples requires not only sharing our faith, but also sharing our lives-failures successes, disobedience & obedience." - Jonathan Dobson
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." - C. S. Lewis
"Sin demands to have a man by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him, and the more deeply he becomes involved in it, the more disastrous is his isolation. Sin wants to remain unknown. It shuns the light. In the darkness of the unexpressed it poisons the whole being of a person." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The problem with most self-made men is that they often worship their creator."
