3 Things From A Men’s Retreat This Weekend

(1) Biblical Manhood Definition/Example
“Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the foundations laid long ago; you will be called the repairer of broken walls, the restorer of streets where people live.”
– Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭1‬‬2

(2) Nehemiah 4 — Progress In Spite Of Opposition
– ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ — “So we rebuilt the wall until the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had the will to keep working.”
– ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ — “In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.”
– ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ — “…The officers supported all the people of Judah, who were rebuilding the wall. The laborers who carried the loads worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other. Each of the builders had his sword strapped around his waist while he was building, and the one who sounded the ram’s horn was beside me.”

(3) The Picture Of What A Man Does From Nehemiah 4

– He hears the noise
– He hears the negativity
– He hears the pushback
– He still builds the wall and does the work (Nehemiah 4:6)

Why?
– We cannot go back or stop — too much is at stake.

This is a vision of what can be – through Christ.

Better Than Everest

We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

If you live inside this massive promise, your life is more solid and stable than Mount Everest.

Nothing can blow you over when you are inside the walls of Romans 8:28. Outside Romans 8:28, all is confusion and anxiety and fear and uncertainty. Outside this promise of God’s all-encompassing future grace, there are straw houses of drugs and pornography and dozens of futile diversions. There are slat walls and tin roofs of fragile investment strategies and fleeting insurance coverage and trivial retirement plans. There are cardboard fortifications of deadbolt locks and alarm systems and antiballistic missiles. Outside are a thousand substitutes for Romans 8:28.

Once you walk through the door of love into the massive, unshakable structure of Romans 8:28, everything changes. There come into your life stability and depth and freedom. You simply can’t be blown over anymore. The confidence that a sovereign God governs for your good all the pain and all the pleasure that you will ever experience is an incomparable refuge and security and hope and power in your life.

When God’s people really live by the future grace of Romans 8:28 — from measles to the mortuary — they are the freest and strongest and most generous people in the world.

Their light shines and people give glory to their Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).

>From Future Grace, pages 118–119
