The Church of Eleven22

The same God who warns us so adamantly about hell is the same God that sent his only begotten son Jesus to bear our sins and save us from hell. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 Jesus is both the most active voice on Hell in the Bible and the saving voice saying, “surrender and follow me, for I have come to save.” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. Revelation 22:17 The reality of Hell should: 1. Stir us with passion to worship the King of Heaven 2. Strengthen the urgency of eternity in our witness of the salvation of Jesus 3. Sober us to the reality of the kingdom of self and its consequences

When we pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” we are not merely praying “God make our lives better” we are saying “God rule and reign here. God have your way with us because your way IS better.”

Passivity is holding back your strength for self preservation. Aggression is expressing your strength for self gratification. Love is leveraging your strength for others through self sacrifice. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).

True strength is not found in position, possessions, or power but in the PERSON and Work of Jesus. * When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; Luke 11:21 * For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 10b * Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

-The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3 - So God created man in his own image, Genesis 1:27 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, Ephesians 6:12 To Stand up and Act like Men we must dress our selves for battle and go to war to DEFEND and PROTECT our loved ones. Stand firm because our Victory is in Jesus. "by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him."

THE REBELLIOUS PERSON follows their own desires and ends up, despite some fun, being devoured. THE RELIGIOUS PERSON follows their rules and ends up, despite their effort, being devoured. THE GOSPEL CENTERED PERSON follows Christ the victor and ends up, despite our hardship, in victory. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).

To STAND UP and act like a man you must first BOW DOWN and surrender to Jesus. For if, because of one man’s (Adam) trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 ”It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Teddy Roosevelt *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).
