Men, we need to learn to own our mistakes, take responsibility for our actions, admit when we’re wrong - just call it like it is!

Guys - we are our own biggest fans - we love us some me! Funny, the Bible actually calls us to love others like we love ourselves! 

A good friend is the one who tells you the most truth - are you a good friend to others…do you have good friends who are willing to tell you the truth?!

What we do affects others.

To read more about the fascinating story of King David numbering the people and his consequences, look at 2 Samuel 24. To read more about the story of King David owning his actions against Nabal and Abigail’s stepping in and calling David out, read more about it in 1 Samuel 25. David, like us, at times owns his mistakes (sins), and at times he doesn’t. But when confronted with his sin, David repents of his actions and turns back to God.

HOW do I own my own mistakes? Start small. Own the little things and you’ll develop the habit (and character) to own larger ones!

Are we honest people - think about the amount of TIME you “steal” from your employer! Most people work an average of 20 minutes a day. That is unacceptable. Men, do you work as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23) - which means that we need to work hard and with integrity, regardless of who is watching or what we’re being paid.
