Go Fishing Together:

Go fishing together

Many men have few friends, they are busy in their work, have long commutes and kids at home demanding their attention. Basically, there is little time for friendships.

But even when men find time for their mates they are not great at talking, it all feels a little intense.

Ed Davies, a guest on our series for men, True North, said that in the UK they wanted to help men find friends. They knew men were not great at talking, so they started a new program: fishing.

Men would sit, shoulder to shoulder fishing, they would start chatting about fishing, but eventually they would talk about deeper, more significant issues. They built friendship.

God designed us for relationships with others, if you are a bloke, build some friendships. Perhaps even consider buying a fishing rod.

Be True to You:

BTru2U

On an expensive European car, I saw a number plate that read BTru2U.

The fact that the number plate was attached to a luxury car seemed to give the message more credibility. BTru2U sounds great. It’s an idea regularly pushed in contemporary Western nations and believed by many people.

But what I would like to ask is, which part of you are you being true to? Most people I know are selfish, self-centred and narcissistic, is that the part of you you want to be true to?

The Bible tells us “all have sinned and fall short of God's standards,” in other words, the place to start is to recognise our failure and not assume our greatness.

BTru2U may be a good slogan, but it’s an unhelpful life goal.

Live Well, Live Right

Remember life is uncertain,so embrace it.

If we over- think or over -analyse, we get paralysed and do nothing. Even when we do things well we cannot achieve all things we put our minds to. But if you commit what you think, what you say, what you do, into the hands of the Lord God. Thus,fully engaged,enjoy it.

Desperate for Him: ( UnPopular Notion)

 Desperate for Him

It’s tempting to think we’re strong, we’re capable, and “we’ve got this.” But in reality, we are powerless on our own. We desperately need God—every moment of every day.

We wouldn’t be here if He didn’t create us. We wouldn’t live if He didn’t sustain us. We wouldn’t flourish if He didn’t guide, protect, and empower us.

The author of 1 Chronicles knew the importance of depending on God. He said:

“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

In a world that’s constantly focused on itself, it’s crucial to recognize our need to depend on God. We need His strength, we need His power, and—to put it simply—we just need Him!

If you’re feeling confident in your own self-sufficiency, ask yourself: Who made this world? Who created my body, my mind, and my soul? My eyes, my legs, my lungs? Who has the power to save—or to destroy? Who holds the keys to life?

Just as we continually need air, we need the power and presence of God to sustain our every move.

So how can we seek His strength and presence continually? By staying connected to Him: talking to Him throughout the day, prioritizing Him in the midst of busy schedules, humbly asking for His power.

God will never deny a heart that is genuinely seeking Him.

So come to Him with your weakness and He will give you strength. Come to Him with your questions, your needs, and your wants, and He will give you Himself. And that is the very best thing of all.

Show Me Your Five Closest Friends:

I have a mate who says - “Show me your five closest friends and I will show you your future”. His point is simple, the people you spend most of your time with will shape your character, your choices and your future.

The Psalmist makes the same point about choosing who you allow to be a constant presence in your life, here’s how the writer expresses it…

"No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence” Psalm 101:7

It’s not easy to change your circle of friends, but it’s important to remember why it matters.

Who do you spend most of your time with and how is that shaping you?
