Part 2. Divinity, Eternal, Fatherly, Good

An opinion poll in Britain found that around two-thirds of the population claimed to ‘believe in God’. To understand the significance of this fact, further questions should have been asked: ‘which god?’; and, ‘what sort of god?’ The first was necessary because of the influx of immigrants with other religions. The second was necessary because even among Christians opinions vary about the kind of God they worship.

While David was preparing this series of sermons on God’s multifaceted character, he hit on the idea of linking divine attributes to the letters of the alphabet, hoping thereby to make it easier for his listeners to remember them. All went well until the letter ‘X’. Whether this was dealt with satisfactorily you can to decide.

When God numbered Israel he counted the men over twenty who were able to fight. When Jesus began to build his church He chose twelve men, most of whom worked with their hands. The New Testament letters are all addressed to ‘brothers’. Yet many churches today resemble lifeboats, saving women and children first.

What went wrong?

How can it be put right?

Why is it easier to get women converted than men?

What are the differences between men and women?

Is a man’s daily work a necessary evil or his full-time Christian service?

How can we disciple men today?

These and many other questions about the roles and responsibilities of men are answered by David Pawson, who for some years has been leading seminars for men in this country and overseas under the banner of ‘Men for God’.
