See to it brothers, that none of
you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living
God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called
Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness.
HEBREWS 3:12-13 NIV
In his book FINISHING STRONG,
Steve Farrar identifies ways for men to do just that in this
life...finish strong. One way is through a real relationship or
relationships with other men:
"Stay close....to a friend you
can't con. Stay close to a friend who loves you enough to tell you
when you're screwing up. Stay close to a friend who will never
violate a confidence. That's the kind of friend we all
need......One of the primary ways that the enemy keeps a guy from
finishing strong is isolation. Instead of being close to anyone,
you become distant. Instead of being gut-level honest, you begin to
shade the truth. And instead of following Christ you begin to act
like you are following Christ. That's what happens when a guy gets
isolated and tries to go one-on-one with Satan."
Can anyone relate? I was going to
say, Can I get a witness? Send your responses/reactions to this to
