Kingdom Man Quotes

“Men, God is not opposed to greatness. God is opposed to pride. Big difference. Unfortunately, it is a difference not widely understood or embraced.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“To fear God simply means to take God seriously, as opposed to taking God casually.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“When your feet hit the floor each morning, do you make your enemy the devil, say, “Oh crap, he’s up”? When you step out your door each day, do heaven, earth, and hell take notice? When you protect the woman under your care, can she do little to resist you? Do your children look to you with confidence? Do other men look to you as someone to emulate? Does your church call on you for strength and leadership? Are you a preserver of culture and a champion of society, one who keeps out evil and ushers in good? Are you a man who is fulfilling your destiny and able to satisfy the woman in your life? More than all of that, though, when God searches for a man to advance His kingdom, does He call your name?”

“When you choose to seek God and His ways like Shamgar, you no longer have to be held hostage to the definitions of this world. You no longer have to be held hostage to an idea that perhaps you are not smart enough, not fast enough, not well-groomed enough, not talented enough, not influential enough, or not powerful enough to achieve greatness. It is irrelevant what people think or say if God says something different. Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do.” Jesus is talking about you.”

“Men, you are in a war. You are in a spiritual conflict. You are in a battle of epic proportions. Others have lined up to face you, and their only goal is to keep you from advancing God’s kingdom down the field of life. Because of them, the passes thrown to you can’t always be within your grasp. In fact, often because of the nature of the battle, they are thrown high. Yet you have been given all that you need to reach up into heaven and bring victory down to earth. God never said it would be easy. He never said there wouldn’t be missed passes along the way. But what He did say is that the victory is yours if you will reach up and grab it. And later finish this war on a knee. Prayer. It is a kingdom man’s primary weapon of warfare. With it, you will touch heaven and change earth.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“Eve was created for much more than that. Eve was created to provide, what a contextual understanding of the multiple uses of ezer informs us is, a strong help in the position of counterpart. Advancing in your destiny is a collaborative effort, men, if you want to advance well. Any man who does not view his mate and look to her skills, insight, intellect, training, and giftedness is a foolish man. Any man who does not actively encourage her and provide a way for her to sharpen her skills, intellect, and training is an equally foolish man.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“Christian leaders have leveraged our men to build church buildings and run church programs, but we have failed to disciple them in what it means to be about the kingdom. Nothing is wrong with church buildings—as long as those within it aim to use the available resources strategically to advance God’s kingdom.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“It is bad enough if a young man does not have a biological father to mentor him and help him grow, but when there is no spiritual father as well, he is fatherless twice. When a boy or a man is fatherless twice, he doubly misses out on receiving the blessing that he needs in his life.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“Even though a man’s involvement with the church is so critical, it seems that in most churches, men are not taking an active role in any men’s ministry or in transferring a kingdom worldview. What”

― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“We live in a culture that has switched the tags on greatness. It has put a lot of value on the flashy lifestyle while putting only $99 on character. Our culture has put a lot of value on cars and careers but only ten cents on integrity, family, and impact.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“Men, God has a standard. He has a goal. His kingdom is that goal. Yet what so many have done is lowered His standard only to then congratulate themselves for being able to dunk the ball. The results of this lowered standard, though, affect so many more than just the man on the court. A lowered standard affects us all. It shows up in our country. In our culture. In the economics of our world. It doesn’t take much more than a cursory glance around our homes, churches, communities, and globe to uncover that men—not all, but many—have missed the goal to live as a kingdom man.”
― Tony Evans, Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

“La iglesia también tiene que servir como el lugar donde aquellas personas que hayan sido entrenadas en el estudio de la Palabra de Dios estén a disposición para contestar las preguntas que los hombres puedan tener en su búsqueda de enseñar y discipular a los miembros de su familia. No obstante, muy a menudo pareciera que son las mujeres las que plantean las preguntas a los pastores y a los líderes de la iglesia. Señores, este es su trabajo. Si su esposa o sus hijos tienen una pregunta, es su responsabilidad encontrar y brindarles la respuesta. Si su esposa menciona más el nombre de su pastor que el suyo durante la semana, es porque usted no está cumpliendo con su rol de cabeza espiritual en su hogar. Usted es el pastor de su esposa.”

“Aproximadamente 70 por ciento de todos los presos proviene de hogares sin padre.[9] Alrededor de 80 por ciento de los violadores con problemas de ira viene de hogares sin padre.[10] Las estadísticas sobre la falta del padre fuera de la población carcelaria son igual de alarmantes. El 71 por ciento de estudiantes que abandonan la secundaria procede de hogares donde falta el padre; el 63 por ciento de los suicidios de adolescentes ocurre en hogares donde el padre es un abusador o está ausente.[11] En las zonas residenciales y suburbios de la ciudad, muchos padres han «desaparecido» ya sea por medio del divorcio, del abandono o de la indulgencia excesiva. Muchos padres ponen su carrera por encima de la familia, o aman más el campo de golf que a sus propios hijos.”

“She is a mirror reflecting to you the impact and influence that you, or other males, have had on her.”
