Give Food to The HUNGRY

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

Just came back from meeting Stuart, Cyrus and Simon regarding the men's ministry.
Honestly, felt a sense of pride in being part of this group.
Being somewhat identified as a man in the group (as in i do see them as somewhat spiritual giants).
But there were hesitations as well as to whether this ministry is going to be what God has intended.
Maybe it's a good sign that we want to work out this ministry with fear and trembling.
But indeed, we'll have to constantly seek God's grace and receive it for this ministry to glorify God.

Another abstract thought: When Stuart asked about the purpose of the Men's Ministry, the first thought that came to my mind it that of IRON sharpening IRON.
That's what I hope to see and gain from this ministry.
Not having a feel good ministry where iron waves at iron.
But one that sharpens each other (tt means requiring work, pain & cutting off) so that we men can be effective swords in fighting the battles that this world has thrown at us.

Yup, that's my ramblings for now

Just located your blog through the search words "men's ministry." Are you involved in the start of one at your church? I am as well and would love to compare notes/experiences.

Christ is most glorified when I am most satisfied in Him
God does not just use the qualified, He qualifies a person for his task
By His own hand He leadeth me
