Biblical Manhood

1. Demonstration of following Jesus 2. Learning truth that guides our practical application of scripture

We all have certain gifts that God has given us. He also wants us to be good steward's of the gifts he has given us. Not all of us are the same and that is what makes the body of Christ so special. On this video pastor Matt Lahmann uses the text form 1 Peter 4:10-11 to communicate the importance of using your gifts to bring God's Glory to others.

Often people have a view of God that thinks he is only a God that only wants things to go great in your life. That he wants health wealth and prosperity, that if you have faith and speak the right things and believe the right things that he will give you favor and blessing. This kind of view of God can be very destructive in that its not biblical. We need to have a biblical understanding of God because in the bible he never promises these things. On the contrary he often promises that life would be hard, that we will go through hardships & persecution & sometimes he even brings these things into our lives for discipline or other good purposes like holiness & righteousness. If we have the view that God wants everything to go the way we think is good for us and it doesn't happen this way most often times it creates more doubt in God and ultimately leading people to leave there faith. This is why truth matters and as 2 Timothy 2 states that we should rightly divide the word of truth. We hope that this video will be an encouragement to you and drive you to want to know and have a deep relationship with the God of the universe!!

Up until the 20th century Christianity was saturated into every part of our culture and government. In fact the Bible was used as the primary book for education in our schools. The founders believed that we could not survive as a free country without God being the center of it and the Bible as the primary source of education. Now in recent years we have been taught that separation of church and state means that we should not have God in the public squares. What's even more problematic is that Christians have adopted this and no longer think they should have a place in govt. On this video we try to attempt to give a historical background of what the founders actually believed about God, how they intended Christianity to be the fabric that is at the heart of it and why they thought this way. If you are interested in listening to people that are way more qualified to speak on these topics we highly recommend visiting Wall Builders website and checking out the information on there. You will be so glad that you did. Also I will include links to some of the books that we referenced on this video as well as links to a free biblical citizen course made by David Barton & Wall Builders.

If you have not heard about this bill and are a freedom loving Americans, this is a bill that keeps getting brought back up for vote that would allow for all kinds of mandates and tyranny. It is being marketed as something that will help get businesses and schools back to normal but would very well do the exact opposite. This bill has opened ended language in it that would allow for legislators and companies to mandate Americans against there will. Lisa Pannet is joined with us and explains the ends and outs of this bill and why it matters so much to our freedom & then what specific action steps that we can do as Americans to fight this bill from getting passed. I will list the local emails and phone number in Mo to contact below. We ask that if you are a concerned citizen that you would take action and contact these representatives.
