Appreciation for the opportunity

What a great gift I had yesterday. All day Sunday with my wife is a rare occasion. Sitting in church together, meals together and watching golf on a Sunday afternoon are significant times because they are so scarce on the calendar. And yet the Sunday out of the pulpit reminded me of how blessed I am to have the many invitations to preach.

As much as I enjoyed this weekend, it reminded me to thank those that make sure I don’t have too many weekends like it. You see, strange as it may seem, I am a bag of mixed emotions while sitting in the pew. When not preaching on Sunday, I am wishing I was. Therefore, thank you to so many of you that open your services and events to my ministry.

As a matter of fact, the last Sunday of this month was canceled recently and I am already dreading the ‘time off’. I may not be the best in the pulpit, but I am among the worst out of it.

Significant commitment

It’s happening. It really is happening. And this past Sunday was a prime example! And the Sunday before that as well.

Pastors across America are becoming aware of the benefits of strong Men’s Ministries in the local church. I had the honor of responding to the invitations of pastors to “please come and motivate my men to get off the church pew and pursue the adventure of men’s ministries”.

In both cases, it was inspirational as I personally witnessed men gathering around their pastor in a significant time of commitment. Their commitment was not only to the Lord, but to the man of God He had placed in authority over them. It is refreshing to see pastors modeling Christ as they look to their own and boldly challenge them to “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”.

I have never been more convinced that the best in men’s ministries is yet to come! Thank you for all you are doing to make it so.
