Do What God's Dudes Do

Recently we hosted an event called Dude-A-Palooza. This event was designed for boys and their dads or other adult male role models to spend time together as men. We had a great time playing games and eating all things bacon. I also had the chance to share 3 things that God’s dudes do.


A.     Godly Dudes Honor their parents. Ephesians 6:2-3


“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”


B.      Godly Dudes Love God they are men after His own Heart. Matthew 22:37

 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’


Pray

Read the Bible

Defend the Word – Jude 1:3


Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.


Love Others  (God, family, friends, neighbors, enemies) Matthew 5:44


But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you


C.      Godly Dudes train their children. Ephesians 6:4,


And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.


Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it
