No Man Left Behind Quotes

“Your vision for the men’s ministry has three components: – An internal purpose statement. This answers what you will do and how you will do it. – An external slogan. This is the public face of your men’s ministry and should make men say, “I want to be a part of that!” –   An elevator speech. Every leader should be equipped with a sixty-second explanation of the vision of the men’s ministry, why a man would want to be involved, and an invitation to do something.”

Unfortunately, our church had a vision to put my dad to work, but no vision to disciple him to be a godly man, husband, and father. As a result, my dad became successful as a worker, but as a disciple he got left behind. So, at the age of forty, when my dad was the top lay leader in the church (I was in the tenth grade, my younger brothers were in the seventh, fifth, and third grades), he and my mother just got burned out and we left the church.”

“Is there any way we can get society right if we don’t first get the church right? If that is true, then is there any way we can get the church right if we don’t first get families right? If that is true, is there any way we can get families right, if we don’t first get marriages right? And if that is true, is there any way we can get marriages right if we don’t get men right?”
