God is calling Christian men everywhere to man up. The purpose of this blog is three-fold. Man up because the world needs men who will stand for righteousness. Man up because that is the direction we want to go in our spiritual lives. Man up because each man will be taking a turn providing an encouraging verse to the others (next man up). I pray it accomplishes its purposes. Jeremiah 29:13 - "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

Colossians 3:2 - "Set your affection on things above, not on things in the earth." If we could get this one thing right in our lives all other things would fall in line. - Wes Smith

Ephesians 5:25 & Colossians 3:19 - "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"; "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." When on earth, how much did Christ focus on how his followers were tending to His needs? My point exactly. As husbands, our concern is how are we loving our wives. Many a man is bitter against his wife. Why? Because he thinks on what she isn't doing for him, when he should be focusing on his role, his part to play in God's living picture of Christ's love for the church. - Daniel Holser

Colossians 3:14 - "And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness." To be the best husband to my wife, the best father to my children, and the best servant for Jesus, I must do everything with a love for others as Christ loves them. Without that love, I don't have the heart of Christ, and I will never be complete in anything I do. Please pray for me as I pray for you that we will be men who display the love of Christ to others. - Jason Myers

Colossians 3:23 - "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men." If you do something heartily or are passionate about something, it will consume you. Why do I feel I am passionate with things that don't matter in this world and just going through the motions in my spiritual life? What we talk about and do is where our passion is. Are we doing enough for Christ to be consumed with a passion for what He wants? - Jason Brothers

Colossians 2:2,3 - "That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Verse 3 is a reflection through Christ of verse 2. It's a privilege that we have a relationship with the precious and true source of wisdom and knowledge. - Garrett Longest

Colossians 4:5-6 - “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Our daily walk as Christians in the home, workplace, and other daily activities requires much wisdom. Whether as a boss, worker, young or old, it is imperative that we ask Christ daily for wisdom. Proverbs 4: 7 states “Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom…”. In James 1 we are told that GOD will give wisdom to all men liberally if we ask. - Clifford Myers

Colossians 3:12 - "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering." We must deliberately put these things on every morning as our flesh does want to be meek and humble. - Wes Smith
