THE RESOLUTION FOR MEN

"Society is guiding boys to remain boys as long as possible – extending childhood into their thirties – while forcing girls to become women long before they are ready.  Instead of growing up, getting married, and courageously raising up the next generation, millions of young men are staying single, remaining emotionally and directionally dependent on their mothers while becoming addicted to entertainment, pornography, and video games.  They want the privileges and rewards of manhood but only the responsibilities and moral requirements of boys.  So when they become fathers themselves, they don’t know what to do, and they feel extremely ill-equipped."  [The Resolution For Men, p.15]

If the American culture is going to be awakened to renewed moral consistency and spiritual fervor, it will be because men wake up to their place of leadership in the home, church, and community!

Gracious God,
I commit myself to the training of godly men as You give me opportunity!
I will model a healthy marriage:  respect and love for my wife!
I will model appropriate language, avoiding all vulgarities!
I will model a life of intimacy with You - for all to see!
I will invest sacrificially in the men You bring into my sphere of influence!
I will pray for the men I know - to hear from You and obey what they hear!
I will keep my life pure so that my integrity remains untarnished!
I will do all of this out of my love for You - and I will do so for the rest of my life!
This I commit myself to - in Jesus' Name!
Amen.
