Heroes. The word has many connotations in today’s culture. A hero may be the guy who makes $12,000,000 a year, achieves a 100% *perfect* voting record, or attracts the opening weekend crowd, breaking the record for highest grossing film. Or maybe he designs the latest technological break through, changing the world as we know it! Perhaps he can only leap tall buildings in a single bound. Christian heroes, on the other hand, may or may not have made the latest newsfeed. |
The Vision Throughout the history of Christ’s church, a multitude of godly men have endeavored to obey the call of God, despite considerable risk and personal sacrifice. This great cloud of witnesses, these heroes, encourage us as we walk by faith in the 21st century. Our heroes should have integrity, a passion for truth, and godly character. Our heroes should challenge us to stand firm in adversity. Our heroes should inspire us and our families with vision and hope. We are to honor the work of God through these individuals of the past: ordinary men who were called by the Lord to do extraordinary things. And we must tell these stories to our children. |
2012 Men’s Leadership Advance This is the vision you will find at the Men’s Advance: passion to educate and encourage Christian men to fulfill their God-given calling. The time is ripe. We must be about the business of teaching our children the stories of great heroes of the past in order to prepare them to serve as leaders within Christ’s church in the days ahead. |
