A Man's Responsibility


Book Description

What is Jewish men's spirituality? In today's world, is it necessary? A provocative look at how a new generation of Jewish men can grow spiritually, and in doing so, strengthen the intangible bonds of family, love, duty and truth which ultimately lead to God. It unearths the male stereotypes that exist in Judaism and color our expectations for what it means to be a Jewish man in today’s world. It examines Jewish sources that reveal the traditional life cycle of a man—from son to partner in marriage to father—and in doing so uncovers the ideals that define being a Jewish man. It also views Jewish men within the context of a sacred community and what that means for the sacred obligations of manhood.

Understanding and Accepting Our Responsibilities As Men


Book Description

First of all I like to thank god for all he has done in me and my wife's life, everything from keeping us when we were in sin, until now by giving us peace and joy in our hearts. I wish I could get the men to see that no matter how we may look at life it is going to all come down to the choices that we make in life as a man. Men I feel that it is time for us to start reaching out to the men of today because a lot of our young men and adult males are really confused about their responsibilities as men and god has placed it on my heart to show men that being a man and being a saved man is the desire that God has for our lives. But my first agenda is to ensure you that whatever your are going through at this point in your life; is to let you know that someone has already gone through it and is willing to help you get through your situation so you can have joy and peace in your life. But as men we don't like to talk about what we are going through in our life because we are taught from a young age that a man is not suppose to cry, show emotion or talk about what's going on in their minds, because that is a sign of weakness. But I want my brothers to understand that giving your life to Christ and letting him know that you need his help is not a sign weakness, but the first sign of being the man that God wants you to be. So I like for all the men of the world especially my unsaved brother to take time out of their busy schedules to read this book and know in my heart that once you read this book (Understanding and Accepting Our Responsibilities as Men) your life will never be the same again. Because I know that if I can touch the men of today and show them that they can live there life in peace, joy and love and that it is your time to receive your blessings by taking on your responsibilities as a man by giving your life to Christ first, then I know that the future for our younger generation will be promising. Men we are in a time now when our sons, daughters, and wife need us to be the men that god intended for us to be, so it's time for us to step up and take our rightful place as men in our families' life most of all in gods kingdom. Brothers you may say why is he so concern about the men, the reason is because one I am a man and the other reason is the lord put someone in my life to show me the way and through their prayers and his grace and mercy he saved me so I can understand and explain to the men of the world that we need to lead and not just follow. The 2nd reason is I am so tired of losing so many of our young men because we are not teaching them the true meaning of being a man. (So men it's time to stand up and take your rightful place at the head of your families be it single or married and help me reach other unsaved brothers.).

Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God


Book Description

If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? J. I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false.

The Sovereignty of God & the Responsibility of Man


Book Description

The sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man has been a topic that has been fought in many theological battlegrounds over centuries past, and we know that it will continue to be fought for centuries to come. Yet God invites us with a grand calling as we look into the souls of men that are perishing without hope and without God to desire such a weighty topic to impact us by having the right view of God, a proper perspective of our relationship to God and how it should impact our daily lives. The burden of the Lord to author this book is the desire for God to do that work in the heart of the readers as we peer into the beauty and glory of God.




Responsibilities of a Man


Book Description

What does it mean to be a man? Although men in general have many differences, God has given us all the same responsibilities. However, it seems that somewhere throughout time, man’s understanding of his responsibilities from God have been misconstrued, misinterpreted, misrepresented, misunderstood, and even ignored. In an inspirational guide, Dennis Bryant relies on his personal spiritual journey and professional experience as a life coach, mental health coach, motivational speaker and pastor to help men understand and fulfill their responsibilities in the four key areas in life: God, self, family (wife, children, family members), and the church and community. Through his insights, men will learn the four categories of responsibility to God—fear, love, obedience, and worship—as well as how to hold themselves accountable for actions, words, gestures, thoughts, and choices; ensure the security of their family while studying, teaching, and imparting God’s Word; and lovingly care for their church, its people, and the community. Responsibilities of a Man is a spiritually-inspired manual that leads men of all ages to understand and fulfill their purpose to God, themselves, their family, and their church and community.




The Responsibility of Manhood


Book Description

The purpose of this book is to help men find direction in life. To serve as a guide to the young men who do not have a father figure in their life. When we are not careful, we may take the wrong turn in life. The wrong turn could be the difference between life, death, failure, or success. We follow a day by day journey praying to strengthen our relationship with GOD. Men are created in the image of GOD. Sometimes as men we seem to forget what is important. What is important is our health, family and fatherhood. GOD wants us to believe in him and serve while helping others believe in him. So many people are in doubt and have given up on their dreams. The life they have lived and the things that happen around them cause them to lose faith. We must have faith even when it seems that what we are seeking is impossible. So many people miss out on their dreams because they don’t have faith. We are images of GOD and through him everything is possible. Never believe there is something in life you can’t accomplish. Our values and accomplishments in life set the direction for young boys growing up. Boys model themselves after their fathers. What they see their fathers do is what helps develop their manhood. For example, if the father is loving, supportive, and kind around the boy then the behavior will be recognized, and the boy usually models the same behavior. We pray for GOD to give us the strength to make the right decisions. We pray so that as men although we are not perfect can set a good example for young men. Finally, we pray for changes to occur in our lives so we can develop a relationship with GOD. Men are supposed to provide and protect the family. Today’s men are not playing their roles as fathers and husbands. So many men feel they are not doing what is expected of them because of the society. Times have changed, and life is a lot more difficult to live. Remember. If you don’t run into difficult obstacles, then you won’t learn anything. The brain must be unlocked and the more you learn the more knowledge you possess. Remember never put a limitation on how far you can go in life because through hard work you can accomplish great things. For example, the soul is as important to a body as DNA is to a cell. Without the soul, the body will not function; just as a cell cannot function without DNA. Remember that through God we can do all things, and he is always on our side. Never doubt yourself in any circumstance because you are a child of God.
