Fight for Faith with Faithfulness

 Fight for Faith with Faithfulness

A little over 5 years ago (December 5), during the heart of COVID, God led me to start a Saturday morning, weekly Men's Bible Study. I thought it to be a crazy idea from my Lord and was doubtful that it would persist. Yet here I am humbled at what God has done through the hearts of men who have gathered through those years having met nearly every Saturday since we started.
Today will be our final gathering of the year as we will take a few weeks off for the CHRISTmas season something we haven't always done, but this year it seemed good to focus on family.
There have been different men who have joined the group, but a few have been together with me for four or more years. I also have a partner who leads when I am absent and others who lead on occasion as well.
It remains clear to me that it was God who started this and as long as guys want to attend, my heart is thankful for the accountability we share as we gather. Most of these men lead men in their respective churches as well.
This is why we really do need each other. Just like the shepherd, David, who rose to become king, he needed others to stand with him and hold him accountable even though we learn that his heart's desire was to be and remain faithful to God. No one is immune to the pursuits of the world pressing in to try to consume us.
Brothers, stand with one another. Gather with one another. Seek God together for His glory. Pray together. Read and apply the sword of truth, the Word of God to your lives. Lead faithfully in your homes. Fight for faith with faithfulness as you gather with other men of God...for His glory in His kingdom forever.
