Men's Discipleship Seminars

Six of us men went to San Antonio on the 22nd of February to hear Pastor Gabriel Alonso preach a powerful message on becoming a cynic. He dealt with much of what is transpiring in our world especially when it comes to the people of God. This happens sometimes in our lives when we have gone through issues in our walk with God. It is the attitude that says "Just wait... you'll see".

This world can make you cynical. People and what they do can make you cynical. And when you let this spirit take hold of you, it can hinder your walk with God. You give ear to the words of discontent and complaint. Like the people that Moses had to deal with in the desert. Always unhappy with circumstance, wishing for the onions and leeks of Egypt. This kind of complaining would where me down. But that's why we need for God to touch our lives and give us a fresh new breath of faith. To believe God. That God is able and able to do it time and again.

That He is still able to heal. That He can still make the blind see and the lame walk. That He can still change a life. Heal a marriage and transform a broken home into a family again. That we don"t have to burn out in the things of God. And that we can still trust our headship despite the moral failures of other that erode the creditability of the Gospel within pastoral ranks. Not all leaders fall. And God should never be blamed.

I thank God everyday for my Pastor, Pastor Richard Rubi. But I know that he is a man and that no matter what may or may not transpire, God will always be habitually righteous and holy. Man can fail you but God never will.

If your a man reading this and have never gone to a men's class you need to go. Or if your attitude has been, "Ah, another men's class. Been there, done that." Then you especially need to go. Don't be a cynic.
