So something happened in bible study this past Sunday
We were finishing up Ephesians, Chapter 6
That's the really important part that talks about the armor of God
I was reading through the words when all of a sudden one word stood out and stuck hard in my mind. I do a security job there as well, and later on during the actual service, I just couldn't get the concept of standing tough out of my mind. Heck that's what this site is all about. Standing together, standing up for God, standing up for what's right, standing up for our wives, and children, standing with fellow brothers when they are in the fire
We Real men, Stand!
Well, all this came to me and I was writing it all down. Some I researched later, but the idea occurred to me that this ought to be a movement for men of real courage and a boldness for Jesus to stand.
What do you think? Is this something we should move on? I think the timing is perfect and the message is solid rock in a sea of shifting sand...
So here it is:
