We live in a day where masculinity is being devalued. Yet, there is a deep hunger among men for their unique identity. The church should be leading men to biblical manhood.

The resounding question is, “What is a Man.” Men are torn between continuing to follow in the footsteps of the first Adam or pursue the model set our by the second Adam (1 Cor 15:45).

These are the two destinies we face as men. We can choose the emptiness of the first model or the freedom contained in the second model. Comparison of the two models reveals four distinct characteristics: passivity versus activism, acceptance or rejection of our God-given responsibilities, choosing to lead courageously or not, and striving for a reward or expecting the greater reward. The choices we make in these four areas determine whether we follow in the empty footsteps of the first Adam or enjoy the empowered living of the second Adam.

Are then men of Edgewater ready to recover their biblical manhood and help their brothers in Christ do the same?

If you are, pray the prayer below and then let me know that you are ready to reclaim biblical manhood!

Love in Christ,
John Delaney

Heavenly Father
I get it, I understand, I know where I am in time.
I know what you are doing in my generation and I know what my role is.

I am determined to be a man of courage in your army and I am called to raise up men of courage. Strong men, Men who are equipped, Men who are able. Men who are well trained to make the world to an easy place from which to go to heaven.

I’m committed, I’m called, I’m chosen, I’m ready!
In Jesus name,
Amen.
