Journeymen

Brothers, I pray you are having a good week so far.

Last week we studied being "A Temperate Man." We heard the story of Joe Fornear and how he struggled with trusting God in the midst of a life-threatening illness. We learned that a mature man who follows Christ is "sober-minded" meaning his "thinking is clear." He is not double-minded but vigilant, clear headed and does not go on emotional tangents. He has the right view on the temporariness of this life and he remembers to hope without wavering.

Gene reminded us that "A temperate man knows he is responsible to do all he can to carry out God's purposes for him in the world."

I'm going to spend the rest of this week focused on that last point....will you join me?

This weekend we will study being "A Respectable Man"....this aught to be good!

Be well Brothers

BLOG PURPOSE/RULES

Brothers: It has been observed that there are some good kernels of wisdom coming out of our small group discussions each week. Since we normally do not have opportunity to learn from small groups outside our own, some valuable truths could remain unknown to others who might benefit from them. This blog is offered as an experiment to bridge the gap between groups and is intended to encourage further spiritual growth and development of Christlike character in all Journeymen. Please engage and observe the following rules when doing so: 1) Please do not post about politics, sports, or current events unless directly related to the subject matter 2) Be courteous, succinct, and relevant to the Measures of a Man 3) Do share your thoughts, your wisdom, your experiences and applications, your strategies, and scripture references about the importance of the Measures or Disciplines and what you have learned 4) Please do not post names, places, or dates unless given permission by those involved in the story. General accounts are often sufficient to convey the message.
