Stand Up and Be Heard

There is a glaring disconnect between men’s interest in leading million dollar corporations, non-profits, and political campaigns, and their interest in leading their families and those coming after and who look up to them. We gravitate toward the one, and think these pursuits are worthy of our utmost attention as if lives depended on it and run from the other with unholy fear. How many politicians have you seen in the news who have built great followings with soaring speeches and pleasant words, but who set low bars for moral and spiritual leadership at home, in the church, in the neighborhood, and schools etc.? Broken marriages and ruined family relationships are the result, because there is no one who can see the disconnection.  It invariably affects the worldly empire we have built, and like a wrecking ball, destroys the tower of good will that was once enjoyed. Men of valor we are called to set things back in order as God has prescribed for it to be. We are to guide, lead, and protect in the home. We are to stand up and redirect those who have gone astray, help shed light on those who are in darkness. The Bible declares that (2Timothy 3:16KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: We use the Word of God and love to lead. It’s time to stop sitting down and stand up and be God’s leaders.
