Strong Men tend to make the same Mistakes

I am reading a book called The Samson Syndrome. This is a great book I would highly recommend.

To give you a look into this book I will name off some of the chapters:

Strong Men tend to Disregard Boundaries, Strong men tend to Struggle with Lust, Strong Men tend to use Anger as a Tool and the one that sticks in my mind is Chapter 7 which is Strong Men tend to make the Same Mistakes.

Wow so Strong Men tend to make the same Mistakes.

Romans 7:16-18

But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful natures I want to do what is right, but I can’t.

Am I one of those Strong Men that will make the same Mistakes?

I can’t afford to make some of my mistakes again.  If I can’t afford to make the same mistakes then I need to make sure I learn from my past and use the help and support that I have been given.

Author Mark Atteberry suggests:

• Hook Up -with friends that will hold you Accountable
• Give Up- your Rationalizations “Stop your lame excuses and Change your Way”
• Line Up- your life with God’s Word
• Power Up- with the Holy Spirit- read His Word

As I still read through this book I have really found some chapters that have hit home more than other. I have learned is there are so many places that we as Strong Men fail.

We have got to be those Strong Men that are the Pillars in our home, churches and communities. As we become those Strong Men then we need to strengthen up the next generation to follow.  We as men fail all of the time, so let’s hook up with the One that has Never Failed or let us down.

 

Reality Check Ahead

What has changed in your Life to bring you closer Christ?

What has changed in your Life to take you further away?

What would have happen if Katie decided to be angry at Christ for bringing on this tragic situation?

Would Katie’s story reach the same amount of people and have the same effect?

I could go on and on asking Questions. But really what I am after is for you to sit back and think. What has changed in your life? Are you a better Follower or are you just cruising around like so many others Lost? Did you just get all caught up in the moment and not realize that you were witnessing God’s Hands at work in a person and a Family. Katie’s Story is real.

I was reading the other day and Came across this verse. I then went into the “Message Bible” which is in Contemporary Language.

This is Romans 12:1-2

1. So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him

2. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

So this is what Katie did exactly. She fixed her attention on God. You could see the Change from the Inside out. As it says above “God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”

I ask you to please take a step back and do some thinking on or before the 29^th of April.

• Are we a walking testimony that shows Christ in us?
• Or are we just caught up in the Culture of today wasting our Lives?

My Prayer is that my Sister Story continues to Change lives and enrich others. We all have a story; I pray your story has to do with Christ and how he has enriched your Life.
