I just sat down to a cup of Door County Jamaican Me Crazy Coffee and some Cheerios.
Today I want to talk about our Men's Bible Study. We started a new study this week and everyone was gung ho to get going on it. Enthusiasm was high and I believe the study we chose will be phenomenal.
But I have seen this before and I can tell you that not everyone will complete the study fully. Then there will be those who complete the study but will fail to apply it in their lives.
Those who earnestly work at it and complete it will be evident. You will see the fruit of spending more time in God's Word seeking a closer relationship with him. These men will be better husbands, fathers, workers and disciples for the Kingdom of God.
James 1:22 Be doers of the Word and not hearers only, decieving yourselves.
Knowledge attained and not applied is a waste of time. We soon forget what we learned and then we move on seeking another 12 week spiritual high. We satisfy the mind temporarily and never fulfill the soul by seeing the good fruit of application.
I am praying for each of the men so that the fire that is ignited now burns long after this study is over.
If you aren't studying God's Word and then applying it to your life you are like many. Just along for the ride. When the ride gets bumpy you aren't prepared and life can drag you down in a heartbeat.
Men. Study on. Pray for those in your study and stay true.
Marty
