Every Man’s Call to Biblical Masculinity, Day 4

Part VII: A Focused Life - Crucial Priorities of a Godly Man (Glynn McKenzie)

God has designed men to lead and influence others. A man cannot choose not to lead, only the direction that he is leading his family and others. It is an important responsibility of a man to know where he is going.

Drawing on Titus 2:11-14, a "focused life" is a man rooted in the pursuit of godliness, viewed through the lens of grace, and compelled by the purpose of grace. Direction, concentrated attention, consistent application are key aspects of a focus. In other words, a focused life is faithful application of the right attention in the right direction.

Two views through the lens of grace help maintain proper direction and right priorities.  The past work of Jesus on the cross for our salvation and the future return of the risen Christ and bridegroom of the church.  Glynn also provides practical tools along the way to organize and focus a man's life.

Glynn McKenzie was born in Barbados and has served as a Sovereign Grace pastor in Denver and Virginia Beach.  Glynn presently leads family life ministries at Sovereign Grace Church in Gilbert, Arizona.
