291. Do you pass the test of a strong man of God?
In Robert Kelley's book, The Strong Man of God he shares with us the roles and responsibilities of the Strong Man of God. Strong Man Ministries was formally launched October 1, 2005. It was the culmination of efforts by Rev. Kelley to reach and restore black American males through the Gospel of Jesus Christ that since then expanded to males from every ethnicity so great is the assault upon men as God designed them. Reaching men has led the Ministry to the web, radio and into churches, prisons, recovery programs, football fields and city streets. Nearly 1,000 males have made decisions to follow or rededicate themselves to Christ. We believe when men are restored, they restore their families and communities to the glory of God! https://thestrongmanofgod.org Boots on the Ground: Take the test- 4 things you must do. 1. Do you accept the 4 roles God assigns? 2. Do you obey God to the death? 3. Do you rely on God for everything? 4.
