Here is what I think I think today:

  — Calling All "Real Men" — Men, DON'T MISS THIS!!!  In 2 days.  This Saturday morning.  1 hour.  7-8a.  At Grace Church.  The men are gathering together to do what matters most… (a) worship God together – a couple songs, (b) hear from God together – a short devotion from me, (c) pray to God together – because that's what real life spiritual warfare is all about.  Tom Herzog said it best:

• "We are asking men to hit pause & come together for 1 hour…as a community…in unity…Simply a time to reflect, pray, and connect…even if you can only come for a portion."

  — Got Your "5 Smooth Stones"?? — Last Sunday, I talked about the power of memorizing specific Bible verses that apply to the area you are wanting to grow in or struggling with (see Psalm 119:11, & Jesus quoting memorized Scripture in Matthew 4).  I challenged you to follow the example of David in 1 Samuel 17 — when he brought 5 smooth stones to fight Goliath — where you track-down/locate/study/memorize 5 specific verses that apply to your situation.  Two questions:

• Did God speak to you about doing this?
• Have you started it yet?

If you're a man, see you Saturday at 7a.

(P.S. I'm bringing my son with me to continue teaching him what it means to be a "real man.")
