Faith Fire Fury

Most men are winning superficial battles but losing the war for a genuinely fulfilling life. The problem is that we're trying to find fulfillment in material things, distractions, and people. We seek it in cars, money, sports, entertainment, women, etc.

In addition, today's culture continues to tell men that they're disposable, unnecessary, and the root of society's problems. The result is a growing worldwide crisis among men—we're losing our identity and purpose. We no longer know what it means to be a man, a godly man. We've passively handed over our identity and manhood for society to redefine.

However, as you've seen this week, our purpose and mission are found only in Scripture. This truth will help you avoid years of heartache, disappointment, frustration, and wasted time. Maybe your life's a wreck, and you need hope for a better tomorrow. Maybe you're where I was at one point, and you need to get unstuck. Perhaps you're struggling with your marriage, business, family, health, friends, yourself, or countless other issues. Maybe it's only good when it could be great!

The biblically-based approach I'm going to share with you was founded in Scripture and created for you to become the warrior God created you to be. If you recall from the beginning of this devotional, I stated that the verse that you studied this week, "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Corinthians 16:13-14.) had three guiding disciplines or tents for our lives.

These three guiding disciplines or tenets are Faith, Fire, and Fury, or FX3.

1. Faith: We're in a spiritual war and believe in God's Word to lead us.
2. Fire: We submit to the Spirit's authority to empower and strengthen us.
3. Fury: We're on a mission to show others Christ's sacrificial love.

In summary, we're in a spiritual war with forces working against us, trying to prevent us from fulfilling our mission. To be victorious, we individually and collectively fight these battles under God's leadership, according to his word and his example.

For this reason, we created the FX3 Challenge. A 12-week transformative discipleship program and brotherhood for men to become the warriors God created us to be. To learn more, or for additional resources, visit our website and take the Challenge today!
