In this episode, Pastor Walt tells us that men struggle with their identity. For most men, their identity comes from what they do, what they have, and even what they drive. A man’s identity is critical for his self-esteem, his perspective on how he fits into society, and how he sees women. Why do men struggle with who they are? Compared to women, men really are simple creatures … all they want is to be fed, entertained, and loved. If men are told what to do they will usually do it, but society doesn’t tell men what to do, doesn’t tell men how to be a man. Most men feel there’s no place for them, they feel put down, they have no self-esteem, they have no confidence, they often don’t have a father in their life. The most important thing in a man’s life is their significant relationships … with God, other men, their wives, their children. Men are not taught how to be in these relationships. These relationships are central to a man’s identity. Listen in to learn how a man can be in these relationships.

Pastor Walt tells us that God did not mess up … we, as a society mess up. This generation of men is vastly different than previous generations. 100 years ago, men needed each other, worked together, talked together, interacted with one another … not now, not in these generations. This generation is compassionate, less judgmental, and more connected to society … but they are not connected to other men. Even the Bible is generational, and churches are also generational. Some men want the connectedness that church can offer, but they don’t want Jesus. Keeping the Gospel center for men of every generation is what will bring men the connectedness they truly desire.

The father is the one who teaches the son. But, many fathers are missing in the family. God created the family unit and that was His plan, but when you have the head of the family missing, something is missing in the family. The son hasn’t learned how to connect with other men. The son, as the father, are isolated and don’t have close relationships. The place for sons to learn how to be close with other men is in the church. The church can help young men become the man they were meant to be.

Most men don’t have any male friends, they don’t know how to be a friend to other men. Most men don’t know how to engage other men … they just talk about sports or politics but nothing meaningful. How are men supposed to relate to one another? How do young men learn how to relate to other men? Fathers are models for their sons, but many fathers don’t father their sons.

Socialism in our culture is very different than the socialism described in the Bible. Our worldview is formed more by our political leanings than the Bible’s worldview. He discusses that socialism has to get rid of God at some time, because in order to function, the system needs to have its subjects’ loyalty … not the Christian’s loyalty of first to God and second to government.

God had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. The Spirit led him to the Temple, so when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus as the law required, Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, and said that he could die in peace because he had seen the Messiah. All that Simeon longed for is wrapped up in this baby he now holds in His arms.

Jesus passed the vision to His disciples. The church needs succession plans, plans to pass the vision of the Gospel to the next generation. The Elders of the church need to share their wisdom … wisdom which comes from experience and years of following the Lord. This sharing of wisdom is passing the vision to the next generation.

Little sins in the hands of leaders can be big sins. Some pastors don’t follow the Scripture mandate, we need to have leaders who follow Scriptures.

What does Pastor Walt mean by the Gospel? The Gospel is God’s plan for eternity. Most pastors are free lancing, coming up with their own version of Christianity. Society has taken the direction that we believe what we want, and this has slipped into the church. But the Gospel is a specific message and a specific path to God. We can’t deviate from the message of the Gospel. People are looking for truth … they may not like the truth, but they are looking for truth. When we don’t give them truth, we fail them and we fail God.

Pastor Walt shares that he just knows when he’s connecting with his congregation. They are tuned in and engaged, and regularly give him feedback … both good and bad! The church, as a whole, has done a poor job of connecting our daily lives back to Christ. It’s more about behavior modification … but that’s not Godliness. The ultimate goal is Christ likeness … to be more like Jesus. Godliness does not grant you a relationship with God … a relationship with God grants you Godliness.

There are those who believe the spiritual gifts ceased with the Apostles, but we believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue to this day. The Bible teaches about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and about the operation of the gifts. Each believer has been given a gift or gifts from the Holy Spirit, and we are to pursue our spiritual gifts. The gifts are an outward demonstration of the work of the Holy Spirit.

There is a transfer of power and authority from one generation to the next generation in the church. The church needs to invest in its youth so they are equipped to take over and spread the Gospel. Pastors need to mentor young people to become leaders in the church. The absence of an effective spiritual leader means that young men and young women don’t learn how to be Godly men and Godly women. Investing in our youth means teaching them the plans of God for male, for female, for the family, and for the church.

Pastor Walt tells us the story of a church who believes that they do not perform same-sex marriages. This church allowed some actively gay people who were in same-sex marriages to join the church. There were women who met in the church and a staff member performed the marriage ceremony. Although the pastor didn’t perform the marriage ceremony, he condoned the lifestyle … and was excommunicated. Pastor Walt explains that the church has rules and regulations and our lives are built upon these. But, the church has evolved to having no rules and regulations and people impose their views and perspective on the church. Sinners are welcome so they may hear the Gospel message, but a Born-Again Christian’s life changes into living their life for God.

Pastor Walt tells us the story of a church who believes that they do not perform same-sex marriages. This church allowed some actively gay people who were in same-sex marriages to join the church. There were women who met in the church and a staff member performed the marriage ceremony. Although the pastor didn’t perform the marriage ceremony, he condoned the lifestyle … and was excommunicated. Pastor Walt explains that the church has rules and regulations and our lives are built upon these. But, the church has evolved to having no rules and regulations and people impose their views and perspective on the church. Sinners are welcome so they may hear the Gospel message, but a Born-Again Christian’s life changes into living their life for God.

Why are we so scared? We are scared of everything! The Bible says a lot about fear … fear is mentioned 365 times in the Bible. But, the church is acting out of fear. The church is afraid of danger, and wants safety and security. Did Jesus tell us to seek safety and security? No. He told us to seek truth. Some pastors don’t talk about fear because they don’t want to upset the flock … but pastors are to teach the truth.

Is it all about us or all about Him? It starts with humility, being completely humble to the Holy Spirit’s power. Today, the Church has a lot of wealth, a lot of good communicators, a lot of resources, yet, we are failing in speaking the Word of God to the culture. The Quiet Power is the power to resist, the power to bring the Gospel to the masses. Although Jesus had all power, he submitted His power to His Father’s Will. He was humble to His Father’s Will. Let us pray for the Church, pray for our nation. We need the Quiet Power to bring the lost to Jesus.
