I posted some thoughts on men's ministry here. (Hover your mouse over the "here." It's a link.)
1 Timothy 1:15: This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
Welcome to The Mind's Eye. My name is Eric (aka Bird), and I'm a 36-year-old husband and father of four. My family and I live on a little 2-acre homestead in Central Texas, and we joyfully attend Antioch Community Church in Waco. My interests are theology, photojournalism, reading, writing, chess, and hobby farming. Thanks for dropping by.

Bloo version 1.35
Paper Towel theme - an original by the Bloo development team.
This was a much-needed post. While everyone over there tries to inject some "balance" I would say you hit it squarely for me. For the first time, in my fifties, I'm getting involved with men in my church on the level of the things you expressed as needs.
It is the grace-filled approach that moves me -- hard-core accountability with absolutely no hint of condemnation. Since I have spent my 50+ years under the incessant hammer of self-condemnation, the in-your-face love approach releases a huge burden from my psyche. I have not seen it fade into "in-your-face" alone.
Thanks.
