A Blessing for Men

I read this over the men to close out my message on Feb. 12, 2012.

Brother, you are strong.

You were made by God himself, fashioned from the earth and wired to be both responsible and capable.

You are the recipient of the highest respect from God himself who didn’t demand your allegiance before demonstrating his own worth.

You are a soldier enlisted to the highest calling in the highest army to do the greatest good for the greatest cause of the greatest Kingdom.

And so, I call on you brother to live with integrity, to lead with consideration, and to sacrifice yourself to lift others up.

And in all your interactions with women, may you display such strength in your connection to Christ that they, your precious sisters will know how treasured they are.
