You and I deal with nonstop distraction and clutter, decisions and conflicts. The world clamors for our attention. And yet, the one assignment Jesus specifically gave us was to "go make disciples." How do we do that? Bishop Kenneth Ulmer tells the story of auditing a college class. He didn't attend class, but wrote a stellar final paper to get his grade. The professor agreed it was a terrific, then failed him. Ken saw the big "F," then read the professor's comment: "This was not the assignment." Most men are confused on the assignment! Most men are not on mission!...

During the pandemic, CMN took our Christianity, our "Dangerous Faith," across the Middle East. Our brotherhood translated books into Farsi and Arabic, then extended to Pakistan with Urdu—nations where it is dangerous to be a Christian. What happened was astounding. DOORS FLUNG OPEN. This is the power of ONE book in the hands of ONE Middle Eastern man: ONE Muslim Imam converted after receiving a vision of Christ. He got ONE CMN book and now disciples THREE groups of men.

Peace is not the absence of conflict. Peace is the presence of Christ in the hearts of men... in the middle of the conflict.

Men speak quickly, promise lightly, and too often forget that words are never just empty phrases—they have meaning. Words build trust, define covenant, reveal character, and create the world we live in. God's Word is flawless. What He says, He means. And what we say, we need to mean as well. Nowhere is this more important than in marriage. Our culture treats marriage vows like a ceremony and marriage like a convenience. But God does not. When Scripture says, “the two...

The first words of the risen Christ aren’t shouted from a throne—they’re spoken into tears. Mary turns from an empty tomb and stands in the early morning shadows. Shattered. Confused. Grieving. Disoriented. Then she sees Jesus. But she doesn't know who he is. Thinking he's a gardener, she asks, "Where have they taken him?" Jesus doesn’t hit her with a sermon. He asks her a gentle question, “Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Great question for you and me, what's your focus? What are you after? Because a man’s life is shaped by what he’s seeking.
