The One Amazing Thing God Wants to Do With Men

Let’s cut to the chase. Good. The one amazing thing God wants to do with men is good. That is right, good. Scripture states this goal of good repeatedly. Here are just three examples:

  • “Learn to do good.” Isaiah 1:17
  • “As we have opportunity, let us do good.” Galatians 6:10
  • “Command them to do good.” 1 Timothy 6:18

Okay, so “good” is what God wants to do with men. To which, I am thinking, you reply with a resounding yawn: “Great. I learned this in Boy Scouts. We are all supposed to do one good deed a day. Boooooring!?

True. Everyone practices doing good. In fact, every major religion in the world stresses the importance of doing good. And, yes, it can be very boring. But the point of this blog is that the good God wants to do with Christian men is qualitatively different from the good the rest of the world does. This qualitative difference is what makes the good God wants us to do so amazing.

Furthermore, this jaw-dropping good that God accomplishes with men comes with a set of precise instructions and crystal clear examples, all encapsulated in the Bible.

Not only is God’s good unique, clearly articulated and concretely exemplified, but it is also doable. In fact, the good God wants us to do is almost always easy and refreshing and brings innumerable results that are overwhelmingly satisfying.

One more thing: while most people do their own version of good, almost no one does God’s amazing good. Even Christian men miss much of the good God wants them to do.

And that is where this blog comes in. The purpose of this blog is to help Christian men discern and do the amazing, thrilling and fulfilling good God has called them to do.

Stay tuned.
