In Proverbs 7, we see a wise father instruct his son on the dangers of sexual sin. Standing in contrast to Scripture, today's church often views teaching on this sin as uncomfortable, embarrassing, and inappropriate. In fact, the church and many pastors refuse to address this sin from the pulpit, and in turn, harm the flock. However, God is not ashamed to warn how mankind is tempted and overcome by sexual sin. In this book, we will examine how the godly father serves as a model to wisely instruct his son on sexual sin and need for the gospel.

Never has there been a greater need for good men than in our world today. The Christian man lives every day of his life behind enemy lines. Our world is hostile territory: hostile to our values, hostile to our beliefs, and hostile to the principles we live by. The way forward involves setting our sights on recovering biblical manhood.

Each generation has had their ministerial focus. Many have witnessed the focus on Millennials as well as Generation Z. We are now in a time where the next generation (Generation Alpha) are just now old enough to enter student ministries. And just as we have seen a need for how to effectively reach millennials and Generation Z, Generation Alpha has their own unique needs. They are a generation raised exclusively in the technological age, where the decisions they make today can potentially follow them into adulthood.

Ministers want and need to navigate the tension between being highly motivated and terminally driven. Far too many pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders quit or coast because they have failed to discern between denying themselves and neglecting themselves. We all need rest, which is why God has generously sewn it into the fabric of our schedules already—the gift of Sabbath. Sabbath is not meant to slow us down; rather, it is meant to stop us for short periods for rest and refueling.

In a world filled with noise, students hear countless voices—entertaining them, distracting them, and shaping their beliefs in ways that pull them further from the truth. They are the most connected generation in history, yet they feel more alone than ever. Anxiety, self-harm, identity struggles, and hopelessness are becoming the norm. But there is one thing missing—a third voice. The third voice is the mentor, the guide, the spiritual leader who speaks life, truth, and biblical wisdom into the next generation.

You’ve worked hard to achieve your dreams and goals. Many others have done the same—only to lose it all in the end. Every day, we read about successful people in various walks of life who have lost their power and influence. They’ve been fired, forced to resign, or shamed out of public life. They no longer have a market for their gifts, and they may even face criminal proceedings. These leaders have lost the trust of their companies, constituents, nations, followers, and families. Many were surprised to discover that their talents alone were not enough to prevent their downfall.

Serving as the “catalyst” of the Pentecostal movement in the twentieth century, William J. Seymour turned a tiny former horse stable in Los Angeles into an international center of revival. Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, was a major part of the meetings held there, and Seymour led the first organized movement that promoted this experience. At Azusa, blacks, whites, Hispanics, and Europeans all met and worshiped together, crossing formerly impossible cultural lines.

They offer guidance on how to recognize and shift these harmful patterns. Discussion questions are included.

A 1914 graduate of West Point, John Markoe was a gridiron hero who played against the likes of Jim Thorpe. He was a dashing, highly regarded cavalry officer-Dwight Eisenhower called him the best potential officer he'd ever seen-whose brief military career ended in shame and scandal.
