Men of God?
Lately I have been wondering a lot about what it means to be a man of God? What does that look like? Unfortunately there are not enough examples in this world of what it means to be a man of God. Too many fathers are leaving the family alone in today's world. I am currently reading through "Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul" (at least when I can during my busy college schedule!). It has challenged me very deeply so far and all I have read is the first chapter. It has challenged how I act in my relationship with my girlfriend and just how I am as a man overall. John Eldredge describes men in the church today as being "bored". Our society has tamed our men to be safe and manageable while God has designed us with wild ideas and dreams to better his church but we've become so tame that we won't chase after them. This hit me because I have dreams, ideas, and visions for my ministry someday and I don't want to be another "bored" church goer. I want to radically change the way my church acts and serves God. I want us to be so filled that we just overflow onto the people around us. I want a heart of fire for God! That is my prayer today and also my prayer for the men in the church today. Let us find our hearts again, and break away from the safe and manageable rut we are in! Let's set out on a journey of unexpected results and effects and know that God has it all and his plan is far better than ours!
