It’s Time to Man Up!

What does discipleship on a lawn mower look like? Dwain Swanson would probably be the best one to give you a snapshot of this unique way of redeeming the time.

Everyone has a role to play. That's a family. As the family learns and grows, things come up--all the time and from every direction. That's life. So through all the storms who is going to take responsibility to keep the main thing the main thing? Who will face fear and defeat distractions?

Are you doing everything God is calling you to do? When Dwain Swanson asked this question, it had some pretty surprising results. What about you? Do you have a few specific things written down? Maybe your list is too short. Maybe your list is too long. Perhaps you are slothful.

One day we will enjoy the prize. That is the reward of both physical and spiritual disciplines. Whether it's running a mile in the early morning or being faithful in daily Bible-reading, men need the long-term goal in view to make sacrifices for others in the present.
