About men
Men. Have you ever thought about what men means?
In Genesis 2:7, it is written that “the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being”. But since the fall of man, we have been asking that very question. What is a man? What does men mean?
I can answer it that question for you. Simply put, MEN means Meet Every Need.
Even that answer creates more questions. Can we meet every need? We can try! Will we meet every need? We can try! How will we meet every need? By banding together and through Christ Jesus who strengthens us! We are charged, by our Creator, to lead in all aspects of our lives. This means in our families, in our communities, in our church and in our workplace.
Look, in John 13:34 it is written “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Titus 3:14 tells us “Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.” James 2:16 says “If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” And in Philippians 4:19, we find this; “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Again, simply put, MEN means Meet Every Need!
You will be seeing a lot of the MEN logo in the coming months and years. men:QUEST is a program that will allow us to lift up and support one another to become what God created us to be. men:OASIS will allow us to lift up our families and communities through the love of Christ.
So when you see the branding of MEN around our campus, let it be a beacon in the darkness calling out for you to join with us, the Men’s Ministry of our church, to truly Meet Every Need through Christ!
Quest for Authentic Manhood
Course Overview:
The Quest for Authentic Manhood is the foundational level or ground floor of manhood. This study focuses on a man’s core identity and gives an overview of basic manhood issues. It will help men deal with various identity issues by looking back at past wounds and other things that may have distorted their idea of biblical masculinity. Throughout the course of the study, men will learn how to clearly define manhood and will finally be able to give a succinct and passionate answer to the questions, “What is a man?” and “What am I living to be?” For more information on the curriculum, please visit the Men’s Fraternity website.
