March 25: the Annunciation of the Mother of God

The story in Luke, Chapter 1, is essential as it relates to our obedience to God's will. Here, the angel does not arrive to tell Mary she is pregnant but to declare that it is God's will for her to be the mother of Christ.

Because life begins at conception, the Incarnation of Christ did not begin at his birth, but when Mary says, "'Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.' And the angel departed from her." (Luke 1:38)

A woman disobeying God's will (Eve) marks the beginning of humanity's fall. A woman obeying God's will (Mary) marks the beginning of our Salvation.

Birth of Jesus Foretold - In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord i...

I'm really loving how this brand supports true masculinity and legacy.

Masculinity finds its might not in brute force, but in compassion.

If we want real change we must mend the human heart.

There are a lot of angry people voicing their opinions about Roe v Wade.

Remember:

If you engage people with a tone of hostility, they will never hear God’s truth. Rise above and let your words reflect grace, truth, humility, and love.

Also, know that there will be some who hate what you say no matter what. Those people define their own moral authority, and they will always be offended by God’s truth. Don’t let that intimidate you.

Men today face many challenges, including depression, apathy, and a general lack of purpose, arguably resulting from the soft lifestyles we have the luxury of living in our modern age. To compensate and reclaim key components of masculinity, men must replace physical work once associated with survival with physical training at home or in the gym.

In this episode, Jordan Miller of Run2Gun, helps me break down the many benefits of physical fitness. We talk about the importance of having a growth mindset, how improved fitness leads to better performance, and how the discipline we develop in the gym bleeds into every area of life because training is a metaphor for life.

Guys, Jordan and I touched on so many key concepts in our conversation that I had difficulty titling this episode. You do not want to miss it and when you're done listening, please share it with someone you think could benefit from the message.

As society attempts to redefine manhood, many men grapple with life's challenges, not knowing that Jesus provides a plan for life while also setting the standard for manhood.

This episode features Josh Khachadourian, author of the book ‘The Standard: Discovering Jesus as the Standard for Masculinity.’ In our conversation, we unpack Josh's book and discuss how men can take dominion in life with Jesus as the standard for our masculinity.

We also dive into a few areas that are critical to understand if you feel called to expand the Kingdom of God within your sphere of influence.

Guys, this interview is one my of recent favorites and you do not want to miss it. Josh is the REAL DEAL, and so is his book. Watch and then share this with a friend.

I did not watch the Oscars but this was obviously the highlight of the night. If you didn’t see it, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock (on live TV) for making fun of Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss due to alopecia. It was followed by some vulgar words by Smith, which were censored on live TV.

Both men were out of line but ultimately, I can’t fault Smith for defending his wife, despite the moment or consequences. We are called to protect and that includes protecting honor.

What say you? Am I off base with my hot take?

Men, raise your boys to be disciplined men.

Can you imagine our world of it was full of more disciplined men? Disciplined to spending time with the Lord, to their wives, children, fitness, finances, relationships, the church, and sharing the gospel?

We are one generation away from a significantly different world, and that difference can either be positive or negative.

The future is in our hands. How will you respond?

The news coming out of Ukraine today is heartbreaking. China is said to be gearing up for similar invasive action. With the threat of a large-scale war looming, it will be easy to let your mind become consumed with “what if” scenarios. But I encourage you all to turn off the news and instead take action with prayer. Ultimately, God is in control and only He knows what will happen. Despite everything, your role at home has not changed. Do not let current events distract you from your mission. Keep leading, providing, and stay focused. God will take care of the rest.

As goes the heart, so goes the man.

Here, no doubt, we ask a question to which human beings cannot give an answer with any certainty. A reasonable (and traditional) guess, based on our own experiences of going wrong, can, however, be offered. The moment you have a self at all, there is a possibility of putting yourself first—wanting to be the center—wanting to be God, in fact. That was the sin of Satan: and that was the sin he taught the human race. Some people think the fall of man had something to do with s*x, but that is a mistake.... What Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they could ‘be like gods’—could set up on their own as if they had created themselves—be their own masters—invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

The reason why it can never succeed is this. God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on gasoline, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

That is the key to history. Terrific energy is expended—civilizations are built up— excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top and it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards, and then it breaks down. They are trying to run it on the wrong juice. That is what Satan has done to us humans.

God's grace in action. Wow.

This young woman's father was a police officer killed in the line of duty.

Officer Richard Houston's daughter remembered the last text he sent her.
