Oshkosh, WI – Men of His Word
Man Up
In a Man Down World
This year’s theme states succinctly what Christian men are supposed to do (Man Up!) and how the world/society is treating men (a man down world).
Joshua 24:14a encourages us, “Fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly and faithfully” (EHV). Joshua was delivering his “farewell sermon” to the Israelites, encouraging them to “man up” by honoring the LORD, removing spiritual distractions and keeping focused on a life of grateful, devoted service to God. Joshua urged the people to make God-pleasing use of their sanctified freewill by choosing to serve the LORD, not false gods, and by being faithful to the LORD, not foolishly pursuing their sinful whims of the past. Without being prideful, Joshua directed the people to observe himself and his own family as examples, by saying, “As for me and my household – we will serve the LORD!”
