Men's Ministry

Our men's ministry met last night at Spirit of Life Worship Center. We had a wonderful time discussing issues that primarily affect men. We spoke at length about Ephesians 5, where the Word tells husbands to love their wives, and wives to reverence their husbands. Men are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Christ's love was a sacrificial love. In other words, He gave of himself so that the church could be its best. Men, that is our charge - to give of ourselves so the women in our lives can be their best. Growing up, I remember how my father would always let my mother drive the nice car, while he traveled in the older car. He would make sure that she looked nice when they went to church, even if that meant he had to wear the same old suit. I think we need to go back to some of those old ways. I still believe men should open the door for women (all women, not just your wife). Chivalry is on life support, but can be revived. Most women will reverence and respect God-fearing men who treat them like Christ treats the church. These ideals should be taught to our boys, so that when they become men they will know how to treat a woman. In most instances, if a man loves a woman the way Christ loves the church, the woman will have no problem respecting and honoring the man. If you don't believe me, try it. It works!

If you live in Jacksonville, Florida, I welcome you to attend our next men's ministry meeting. You don't have to be a member of our church. We meet every third Monday at 6:30pm. I look forward to seeing you.
