On today's edition of Family Talk, Christian comedian Dennis Swanberg says that many men are lonely and they struggle with regret and secret fears. Proverbs 27:17 declares, As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. That's why all Christian men need to resist the temptation to isolate, and should find a trustworthy accountability partner. Swanberg points to the biblical examples of Paul and Luke as well as Silas and Timothy. When men confess their sins in transparency to God and to one another, they can be healed.

A Band Of Brothers And SistersReader: Jon WatsonDate: 28th December 2022Passage: Romans 15:7-------------------One of the great things about Christianity is that it 'fits into' every country and people group where the Gospel is preached and believed. For people at every stage of development, whatever language they speak, whatever age they may be, the Gospel message — God's Good News — speaks to them. That is something we rejoice in and give thanks for. And that means wherever a Christian comes from, he or she is our brother or sister in Christ and we must welcome them into our fellowship and congregation, just as Christ received and welcomed us.The congregation where we worship always has visitors and at this time of year when families like to come together there are perhaps more visitors than normal. It is our privilege to welcome them in the name of Jesus. It is also an immense privilege to belong to such a world-wide family. That means we must rejoice when God's blessing, maybe in revival, is being experienced in different parts of the world, or in different churches from ours — they are family. It means too that we must weep with those Christians who are suffering because they are Christians, and we must help them. Interestingly enough the word the Bible uses for 'welcome' was used when soldiers were enrolled in the Roman army and 'welcomed' to a new regiment! We Christians are all enrolled in Christ's army to lead disciplined, active lives resisting evil and injustice in the world. PrayerHelp me, dear Lord, to welcome all who join us in worship. Amen

To help reverse the downward trend of modern masculinity, he has written leading books on the subject, has appeared in major media, has spoken at conferences around the world, and has launched the GreatMan movement to train men in the art of noble manhood. “You have a destiny, but your destiny is fulfilled by investing in the destinies of others.” -Stephen Mansfield While managing his busy writing and speaking life, he founded a company that helps prominent figures and top organizations produce high-quality books.
