FOR MEN ONLY

A response to a viewer's question: How do we get forgiveness from past mistakes?

Not all mistakes are sinful, human beings make mistakes. We will all mess up and it may affect others or affect us. But we must recognize our mistakes and learn to deal with them accordingly.

Shedding a tear is not what we consider the manly thing to do. There is a stigma that says men who have emotions are weak.

But there is a difference between being emotional and showing emotion. When you are emotionally driven, something happens and you make decisions based on that. But when you are showing emotion you are having a response to something that has happened.

Although we all have different jobs, different lifestyles, etc. There is one thing we all have in common - responsibility.

We must take on the mindset that everything we have has not been gained by us, but rather given to us by God. Our talents, our finances, our relationships, all belong to God and He has entrusted us to steward these great things.

Have you ever felt like the world is closing in on you? Like there was nowhere else to turn? Like chaos is gripping your life?

It's in the moments we must think of King David and all of the struggles he faced. Even though he had to run and hide to save his life, he knew that God was in control no matter what!

If we will only take a step back and see things from God's perspective, we will instantly see that He truly is in control.

If you're struggling with pornography, know this: THERE IS HELP FOR YOU!

You are not alone, many have faced this strong addiction, and many have been set free from it.

If you are tired of giving into temptation and if you've had enough of the constant bombarding thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame, then now is the time to experience freedom!

It is a natural for every person to long for success.

Success to a man might be: physical strength, a great job, money, a beautiful wife and kids, the fastest car, etc.

Although there is nothing wrong with those things, God wants us to be successful in life. But, the way to true success is by becoming weak so that God can be our strength. He is the one that will raise us up to greatness.

Maybe someone has told you that you are too strong, too angry, too gentle, etc. Your natural disposition should not define you.

It can be difficult for men to find the balance. Many tend to live on the harsh or rough side because being gentle seems unmanly. But we must realize that an emotionally stable man can be strong and still be a gentleman.

Being a man of extraordinary spirit comes at a cost, but it will cause you to grow in favor with both God and man.

Daniel was a man who proved himself, time and time again, to be worthy of God's favor.

It didn't matter what political leaders were reigning or the situations he was in, Daniel was a man that was always faithful, honorable, spiritually consistent, and maintained a good attitude.

1) Be a man of humility

2) Be a man of faith

3) Be a man of the Word
