Where Are The Men Of God?

Where Are All the Men of God Today?

Where are the men of God that are willing to contend for the once for all delivered to the saints faith?

Where are the men of God who are willing to instruct in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict?

Where are the men of God who won't tolerate a scatological mouth in the pulpit and will guard the integrity of the sacred desk?

Where are the men of God who will preach not themselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord?

Where are the men of God who are biblically discerning, armed with the sword of the Spirit, and in the power of the Spirit will abandon themselves to nothing save Christ and Him crucified?

Where are the men of God who will say no to the world and yes to Christ - leaving behind career, fame, and the promise of fortune for the sake of the gospel?

Where are the men of God today who consider it more a joy to bear the reproaches and insults of men for the glory of Christ, then seek after the praise of men for the glory of themselves?

Where are the men of God who love God more than they fear man?

Where are these kind of men of God today?

Martin Luther said it best:

"I would rather preach the truth with too great a severity,
than to ever once act the hypocrite and conceal the truth!"

May the Lord give us men like that once again; men who will leave behind the velvet covered sword of today's evangelical, postmodern world and take up without shame, the sword of the Spirit wielding its truths with love, courage and biblical resolve.

"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." -2 Timothy 4:1-5
