Josh - Go to work, work hard. Go home, work hard. Go to bed tired (from previous episode).
What does it mean that men need to have “ZEAL?”
Men - go to church, take your Bible, take a journal, take notes, be engaged - model this for others to see, especially your children!
Zeal has three parts:
- Knowledge. Your zeal must be grounded in the Word of God - seeing the world (and ourselves) through the lens of Scripture and God’s design. Proverbs 19:2 says that zeal without knowledge is not good!
- Passion. Romans 12:11 says to be fervent in your zeal.
- Action. Knowing the Lord, seeing what needs to be done, and having the passion to do the right thing should then result in us doing something!
Josh - another word for zeal would just be a Biblical understanding of LOVE. When we love the Lord, we will be moved to passionate action…we simply can not sit on the sidelines and not engage in the great battle for souls!
Do you have as much zeal/passion for the things of the Lord as you do for the things of the world?
What about guys that are a little more “reserved” - I’m just not that kind of guy - Revelation 3 tells us that God hates a lack of zeal - be either hot or cold, but don’t be “lukewarm” - a person without zeal!
The temperature of a man’s heart is the temperature of his home. What you’re passionate about will affect and infect those around you!
T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.
