What is a Man of Justice? - Message at the MAG EP 887

What makes a man step up and say, “That’s all I can stands—I can’t stands no more”? What does it really mean to be an enforcer of justice in today’s world?  In this week’s message, Pastor Jim Ramos lays down a challenge to every man: stop sitting on the sidelines and start enforcing biblical justice. You were made to carry Christ into the chaos, to stand in the gap, to rescue the broken, and to bleed for a cause bigger than yourself. When you enter a room, everyone should feel safer.  This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon. This episode is sponsored by Kids Outdoor Zone, an outdoor ministry for the men in your church. Watch your men come alive as they pass on their outdoor skills to the fatherless children in your church.
