Your heart needs a promise. It needs a vision, hope, desire, something to look forward to. A compelling vision is what pulls a man into his future. The Church must promise men that the future will be better with Jesus, that following Christ will make you somehow more of a man with a better life. I once sat with a young man at a Waffle House. He was done with church. Because of personal disappointments, he was done with following Jesus. I promised him that if he would return to church—if he would connect with me often and with other...
