God give us men

GIVE US MEN
God give us men… ribbed with the steel of your Holy Spirit… men who will not flinch when the battle’s fiercest… men who won’t acquiesce or compromise, or fade when the enemy rages.
God give us men who can’t be bought, bartered, or badgered by the enemy, men who will pay the price, make the sacrifice, stand the ground and hold the torch high.
God give us men obsessed with the principles true to Your Word, men stripped of self-seeking and yen for security …men who will pay any price for freedom and go to any lengths for truth.
God give us men delivered from mediocrity, men with vision high, pride low, faith wide, love deep and patience long…. Men who will dare to march to the drumbeat of a distant drummer, men who will not surrender principles of truth in order to accommodate their peers.
God give us men more interested in scars than medals, more committed to conviction than convenience, men who will give their life for the eternal instead of indulging their lives for a moment in time. Give us men who are fearless in the face of danger, calm in the midst of pressure, bold in the midst of opposition.
God give us men who will pray earnestly, work long, preach clearly, and wait patiently. Give us men whose walk is by faith, behavior by principle, whose dreams are in Heaven and whose book is the Bible.
God give us men who equal to the task. Those are the men the Church and the world needs today.

Yes! We need these kind of men! I'm married to one. And I've been privileged to have known many like this.

We need more.

Excellent post, Mother A...it reminded me of these words written, I believe, by Bill Gaither. I hope you don't mind me posting them here...

What this dying world could use is a willing Man of God
Who dares to go against the grain and works without applause;
A man who'll raise the shield of Faith, protecting what is pure;
Whose love is tough and gentle; a man whose word is sure.

God doesn't need an Orator who knows what just to say;
He doesn't need authorities to reason Him away;
He doesn't need an army to guarantee a win;
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

He calls the broken derelict whose life has been renewed;
He calls the one who has the strength to stand up for the Truth.
Enlistment lines are open and He wants you to come in-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men.

Men full of Compassion, who Laugh and Love and Cry-
Men who'll face Eternity and aren't afraid to die-
Men who'll fight for Freedom and Honor once again-
He just needs a Few Good Men
