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."

Job 42:6 - "Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." God blessed Job once Job saw himself as he really was. Never lose sight of how great God is and how frail we are. - John Mark Brothers

Matthew 12:36-37..."But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." How careful are we each day with our "words"...at home with our family, at work, even at church with our friends? Do we use our words enough for good....or to speak up & tell others about Christ when we're given opportunities? - Jason Barrett

I Corinthians 3:7-8 - "So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." Remember that we are all working together to accomplish something for the Lord in our homes, our church, and our workplaces. We will be rewarded according to what we do with what God has given us. Let's continue to encourage each other to accomplish more for the Lord in our lives and ministries. - Jason Myers

James 4:3 - "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." How many times have we selfishly asked God for something that will fulfill our fleshly desires, or that will be for our own benefit? The model prayer that Jesus gave us begins with "Our Father" and looks to Him for His honor, provision, and guidance. Prayer should be with a servant's heart, not a selfish heart. It was once said - "the greatest prayer anyone can pray is 'Thy will be done'." - Garrett Longest

Ephesians 2:4-10 - “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” During this Memorial Day weekend as we remember those who died to give us the freedoms and liberties to live here in the USA, let us remember and be thankful for Jesus Christ who gave the ultimate sacrifice. - Clifford Myers

Psalms 119:133 - "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." This is something to pray for daily, not just for ourselves, but for our children as they grow up, to follow paths of righteousness. - Phil Dann

Romans 1:21 - "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." - This verse and the ones following show the downfall of mankind. It's starts by not glorifying and thanking the God everyone knows exists (v20). A rejection of God and His truth has lead America to where she is now. Idolatry and sexual perversions are two of the symptoms these verses mention that are consuming our land. Pray that we as Christian men would glorify and thank God for who He is. If we fail to live for Him His Word warns in Romans Ch 2, that judgment will follow. - Matt Stephens
