10 Days: For Men Only
Gentlemen,
We all know that all work and no play makes us very bored, dull and incomplete. You all know that I share in the belief of this philosophy. But all world and no spirit is also a philosophy I believe in as a Christian. I have chosen, for 10 days, to eliminate anything that can hinder my spirit from growing close to God. I invite you guys to join me in building the spirit.
For 10 days, allow yourself to stay clear of all things that may hinder your growth. It could be cursing, alcohol, sex and inappropriate sexually related material or thinking (Read Every Man's Battle), cigarettes, bar hopping, drugs, spending too much money or whatever. For 10 days, I invite you to challenge yourself as I have to give it up.
Even if you find this isn't for you, I ask is that you forward this to a man close to you. I also ask that you (esp. one of you) not stand in my way or attempt to tempt me further out of respect. If you do join me in this challenge of individual consecration, I pray for your strength during these 10 days and blessings after them.
I leave all of you with this:
Hebrews 9-11: But Christ became an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
God Bless.
