Marching Orders
Jesus is King and we as men or Knights of the 21st Century have been called to follow His commands and serve as He sees fit. What are our King's marching orders? It is required of those of us that follow Christ to reflect God's presence in our life. Jesus, as our King, in Luke 10:27 clearly states our marching orders. We, as men, have been called to love! God has called us to love Him with all of our heart, soul, and mind and our neighbor as ourselves. This is a pretty big challenge when you think about it.
How are we, as men, doing so far in accomplishing the task assigned to us by our King? It doesn't take long, when you look at the full capacity of our prisons, the level of male violence in our culture, and the number of women and children that are in recovery, due to male actions, to understand that there are a lot of males who have chosen not to become men and follow the King. If you are taking time to read this, you are working harder than most men on strengthening yourself for the cultural work ahead. Most males don't have the heart for the truth-seeking that you are demonstrating, by this simple act of reading, in order to pursue personal growth. Taking responsibility for the effort needed for one's development is, too often, a rare quality. Congratulations!
