QUOTES FOR GUYS
"Prayer and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer."
- J.C. Ryle
"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them."
- C. S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
"Christian character is not created in the moment of adversity. Christian character is revealed in the moment of adversity" - Daniel
"Christianity in its historic,apostolic form is increasingly seen as socially awkward at best, as subversive at worst."
- Russ Moore, from Onward

One of the Greatest Pastors to Men
"He [Jesus] is the man, the man of men, man's man, the man for men. Let all men worship him, for he is the hope of our race, the restorer of our ruin, the gatherer of the new people, and he shall gather others beside those that have been gathered unto him."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1832-1894)
Spurgeon was a man's preacher, and his ministry reflected that. He influenced men-and he is still influencing men from the grave. And even though he was criticized and despised and belittled in his own time for being too aggressive in his defense of the truth...everyone has utterly forgotten all the effeminate preachers of that era who at the time were absolutely certain that they were more "relevant" because they were more in tune with their own times than Spurgeon was.

10 Unforgettable Fatherhood Lessons
 "In public, my dad was one of the great pastors of his generation...In private, my dad was the same man. There was only one Ray Ortlund, Sr. - an authentic Christian man. The distance between what I saw in the New Testament and what I saw in my dad was slight. He was the most Christlike man I've ever known, the kind of man, the kind of father, I long to be. In no particular order, here are ten lessons on fatherhood I learned from watching him, each lesson living on in my life from memories of his care for me." READ MORE |
The Transgender Conversation You Need To Have With Your Family
A friend of mine told me about her recent experience in an airport security line. She was dutifully passing through the metal detector when she heard a beep and was told she would need the pat-down procedure. It is the right of the traveler to have that procedure performed by someone of the same gender and so, as per protocol, the call went out for a female officer to assist. But as the pat-down began, my friend realized that the officer was undeniably biologically male though identifying as female. She did not know what to do or say, so simply allowed the pat-down to proceed. As she walked away, she realized that she was more surprised than offended. It had just never occurred to her that she might unexpectedly find herself being frisked by a man whom she had been told was a woman. READ MORE

Steph Curry - Why He's Different
The star of the Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry, is arguably the best basketball player in the world.
He was the first player ever to be unanimously chosen as league MVP. He is the first NBA player ever to average more than 30 points a game while playing less than 35 minutes a game. He recently led his team to the best regular season in NBA history, breaking a record held by Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls, and now has his team in the NBA finals.
It's also no secret that Curry is an outspoken Christian, but he uses his platform differently than a lot of Christian pro-athletes who came before him. What's the difference? What's going into Curry's rise and what Christians can learn from it?Curry recently told Fellow of Christian Athletes Magazine,
I'm not a guy who's going to be trying to bash people over the head with the Bible. I want people to know when they see me play that something is different, that I play for something different, and whether I'm talking about it [or not], I just hope by the way I carry myself and by the way I play the game, they can see there's something different about that guy. And they find out what it is and then they know. It's part of who I am. Read More

Some Stories We're Following...
 When I take in the often mind-numbing news these days, I recall the sobering scene near the end of the movie Saving Private Ryan where Captain Miller turns to Sergeant Horvath and says, "Mike, we have crossed some strange boundary here. The world has taken a turn for the surreal." While what is happening in the culture and in many churches maybe surreal, my hope - our hope - as blood-bought brothers, is not in our circumstances or a crumbling culture, but in Jesus' blood and righteousness. "Let us keep our eyes on Him!

Seven Troubling Questions About Transgender Theories by Trevin Wax
Huffington Post Claims Jesus Was First Transgender Man
SO WHAT?Some of you looking at, perhaps clicking on, some of these articles, may be thinking what, if anything, am I supposed to do with this? First remember God is sovereign. There are no maverick molecules in his universe and there are no maverick moments in out lives. Second, become informed about the facts behind the headlines and importantly look to the gospel implications of the culture wars against God, his people and his order and design. Third, inform your family, church, and neighbors. Remember the church has always been contra mundum (against the world system) and pro deo (for God). Moreover, we're called to be "salt and light" of the world. Finally, link arms with WACMM in our work with and support of other brothers across America to engage the culture without losing the gospel. Put on your armor, get on-board, join us as the Lord reminds us of the following: "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of the evangelist, fulfill your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:3-5.Locking Arms Together for the Sake of the Gospel, DaveDave Brown  Director and Pastor, WACMM Chairman,Foundation for Manhood 10309 Freeman Place Kensington MD 20895 dave@wacmm.org 240.447.1363
