The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners. "You are set free!" I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.

Jesus

The gospel is about way more than just being forgiven for sin. Wonderful though that is, if we stop there, then we’re vastly short-selling the hugeness, the surpassing glory, of what God has accomplished through Jesus.

The gospel is about restoration, a future, and a hope.

For all you bottom-line guys, here is what the gospel in its fullness is about:

God calls us up to something much larger than we can imagine. He invites us to take a journey, a journey with him that will transform us as men. On it, we will discover that our mistakes were taken care of even before we made them. It is a journey in which our King, God himself, is continually guiding us, training us, equipping us, initiating us, validating us, and turning over the family business of his kingdom to us.

Such a King calls. Such a mission exists, and we are on it!

An excerpt from The Heart of a Warrior.

The Heart of a Warrior

The Heart of a Warrior English

Men have a glorious and significant role in God’s Larger Story. They also are the target of a special warfare aimed continually and ruthlessly at the center of their being… their masculine hearts. Naivety and ignorance keep many men running in circles while misinformation and poor training keep many more in bondage. Men are wounded, frustrated, angry and being crushed under the weight of criticism and expectations. The attempted solutions of recent years is education; tell men what they are doing wrong and give them a list to memorize. This strategy isn’t working and its time we fall back to an Ancient One. What if we are setting men up for failure rather than helping them be free? Join author and guide, Michael Thompson, as he invites men to a place of training and orientation that will ensure both a settled heart and a fierce courage. A man cannot enter this battle without knowing he is a Beloved Son. After all, that is what the battle is all about!
