“A man “is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man” (1 Corinthians 11:7).”

“la eternidad es demasiado larga como para desperdiciar este breve tiempo aquí en la Tierra.”

“Too many men want the freedoms, rewards, and privileges of manhood but only the responsibilities of boyhood. They want intimacy with their wives without loving them as God instructed. They want to be respected by their kids without investing time and discipline in them. They want a higher status at work without raising their own level of honor and integrity.”

“Grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). Our anger grieves God’s Spirit, not only producing bitter fruit but quenching the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Rather than operating with love, joy, and peace toward others, a bitter person becomes hateful, negative, and restless, closing off his heart toward others. Bitter people become very unlike themselves. The most loving and joyful people in the world can become hateful, irrational pessimists if they let bitterness take root and don’t forgive. Believe it or not, bitterness even hurts us physically. “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). The tension of trying to contain it can harden our facial features and make us lose the radiance of our countenance, even causing a chemical imbalance in our bodies and lowering our resistance to disease.”

“Research shows that Christians are theologically losing the next generation. More than 90 percent of born-again kids today are rejecting the absolute truth their parents embrace. Respected apologist Josh McDowell explains it this way: “You can be the greatest explainer of truth. But if the very heart of your son or daughter does not believe ‘my daddy loves me,’ they will walk away from your truth.”9”

“Demasiados hombres solo se arrepienten a medias de su pecado y luego culpan a Dios por no haber sido liberados. Desean ser libres de la culpa en vez de tener intimidad con su Hacedor. En vez de «divorciarse» del pecado, optan por una «separación temporal»… hasta más tarde. Se niegan a vivir en la victoria que la gracia de Cristo les ofrece gratuitamente.”

“The apostle Paul explained that if a man’s faith is in Christ, he is transformed and his entire spiritual status changes. He becomes “dead” to sin and “alive to God” (Romans 6:11). Sin no longer has the right or authority to “reign” over him and make him “obey” its every whim; instead he is free to live as someone “alive from the dead,” using his body for good as an “instrument of righteousness” rather than as a tool of bondage (Romans 6:12–13). But if a man doesn’t realize this, he won’t tend to believe it, receive it, and walk in it.”

“De manera que el liderazgo de tu familia comienza con tu tiempo a solas con Dios. Es sumamente importante para el hombre apartar un tiempo cada día para orar, leer las Escrituras y poner el corazón en sintonía con el de Dios.”

“Lordship is when “What does the Lord want?” trumps, “What do I want?”

“Praying with an unrepentant heart. The psalmist realized, “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer” (Psalm 66:18–19 NIV). Clinging to sin and stiff-arming God makes God stiff-arm us. If you hold on to sin and refuse to confess it, you cannot take full hold on God.”

“Praying with a lustful heart. “You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures” (James 4:3). God isn’t fooled by prayers that are more about how we can fulfill our sinful desires than how we can honor Him and fulfill His purposes.”

“If God is your Father, you can count on the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and illumine His truth. He will burn it into your heart as you read the Bible, ingrain it into your thinking, live it out in obedience, and let Him continually keep you aligned with ultimate reality.”

“«La amargura hace más daño en la vida donde se acumula que en aquel sobre quien se derrama».”

“Amar a Dios y hacer Su voluntad es tener éxito en la vida. Punto.”

“Sadly the majority of kids today are forsaking their church and faith after they graduate from high school. This is primarily the result of poor fathering. When dads lead spiritually, studies suggest that kids are up to twenty times more likely to stay in church long-term than when moms are the spiritual leaders at home.7”

“Un hombre hace una declaración poderosa cuando dice: «Señor, dedico mi familia y todo lo que tengo a ti. Te doy la plena autoridad sobre mi matrimonio, mis hijos y mis posesiones, y te pido que nos uses para tu honra».”

“Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have all founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire on love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.”

“Lock shields with other men. Proverbs 18:1 says that when a man gets alone and away from others, he tends to do two unhealthy things: he “seeks his own desire,” and he “quarrels against all sound wisdom.” Since we are in a moral battle, we need other soldiers around us, men who can help us become better and stronger. By working together and being honest, men can help each other with their struggles, encourage their daily walk, warn against doing stupid things, and then provide counsel toward becoming more successful in marriage. Find some good men around you and start meeting for workouts, breakfast, Bible study, or prayer together. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17 NIV).”

“God desires that we use His gifts of provision for our own enjoyment, in addition to serving others.”

“Scripture includes over 2,000 verses on wealth and money for a reason: our handling of wealth is critical to our relationship with God! Randy Alcorn said it best: “God sees our finances and our faith as inseparable.”
