We Could Use A Few A Good Men- Acts 1:13, 14

Acts 1:13, 14 "And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren."

As we approach Mother's Day I am very thankful for the women of the church. If we are honest with ourselves, without the faithful women of our churches today most of us would not survive. Biblically the men are supposed to be the spiritual leaders of their households, but in this generation the men have fallen very short of the mark. that'w why we could sure use a few good men.

(1) We need men that are teachable and who will receive instruction about the resurrection of Christ, their responsibility to Christ, and the return of Christ.

(2) We need men that will become examples of Christ and their hearts filled with conviction, compassion, and courage.

(3) We need men that are founded in their faith, fed daily through the Word, and filled with the Holy Ghost power of God.

(4) We need men who will cry out the message to the lost, preach with convicting power the scripture, bring comfort to the hurting, and help convert the wicked into the righteous.

Let this be our prayer today, "Lord give us a few good men who will take up the banner of holiness and righteousness, be an example to their families and communities, and share the gospel with a lost and dying world."

Yes, God still needs a few good men.
