Hung out with the men this morning at Men's Fraternity and another rich lesson with tough challenges lay before us again. In our small group we realized two important things: first, we needed to hold each other accountable as far as meeting the challenges we were being tasked with and second, we all needed to "Die to live"
At one point, it was posited that we needed an accountability punishment, what should the group do to the guy who didn't do his challenge work for the week. I humorously deflected the serious question with "Death By Hanging" Funny how the Holy Spirit can work sometimes. It was a joke, but it reminded all of us of the "Die to Live" concept we'd gone over the past couple weeks (and HAD NOT brought up this week) and it fit. We do need to Die to self by Hanging in there with our spouses. We need to die to self and hang in there with our brothers as well because we all realized how tough this truly is and how much easier it can be if you have the support of the other men in your group.
Great session, great group, what a great day the Lord has made!
