On Monday Night,
September 17th
The Men of the Cure of Ars
will be
COURAGEOUS....
Come to our FREE screening of the hit movie "Courageous" and find out what our Men's Formation Group is all about.
"....A father should love his children and seek to win their hearts. He should
protect them, discipline them, and teach them about God. He should model how to
walk with integrity and treat others with respect, and should call out his
children to become responsible men and women who love their lives for what
matters in eternity.
Some men will hear this and mock it or ignore it.
But I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God for the position of
influence He has given you. You can't fall asleep at the wheel, only to wake up
on day and realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value, but the
souls of your children do. Some men will hear this and agree with it but have
no resolve to live it out. Instead they will live for themselves and waste the
opportunity to leave a godly legacy for the next generation.
But there
are some men who, regardless of the mistakes we've made in the past, regardless
of what our fathers did not do fur us, will give the strength of our arms and
the rest of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our
children to do the same, and whenever possible, to love and mentor others who
have no father in their lives but who desperately need help and direction. And
we are inviting any man whose heart is willing and courageous to join us in this
resolution.
In my home, the decision has already been made.
You don't
have to ask who will guide my family because by God's grace, I will.
You don't have to ask who will teach my son (and daughter) to follow Christ
because I will.
Who will accept the responsibility of providing for
and protecting my family? I will.
Who will ask God to break the chain
of destructive patterns in my family's history? I will.
Who will pray
for and bless my children to boldly pursue whatever God calls them to do? I am
their father...I will.
I accept this responsibility, and it is my
privilege to embrace it.
I want the favor of God and His blessing on my
home.
Any good man does.
So where are you men of courage?
Where are you,
fathers who fear the Lord?
It's time to rise up and answer the call God has
give you, and to say I will, I will, I will!"
