HIT Men Re-fresh

The HIT Man Code

As a HIT Man I will ...
  • Choose to follow Jesus Christ as taught in the Bible as the man He created me to be.
  • Love and support my local Church and Pastor(s) in the Mission and Vision God has given them.
  • Not walk alone, I will stay connected with other HIT Men for encouragement, support and accountability.
  • Promote the growth of Men to be who God has made them to be, Christ followers, God Worshipers, Bible believers, Family leaders, Community makers, Care givers, Warriors for Truth, Protectors of those at risk and committed to growth and replication of Biblical manhood.
  • Keep the confidence of the other HIT Men, we deal with our issues together and will not give way to gossip. This is not about secrets it is about Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency.
  • Not leave a stumbling brother to fall or leave a fallen brother for dead, we will seek to bring repentance and restoration to all HIT Men.
  • Work together with other HIT men to establish this ministry in other Churches, my local Church is not the end but the beginning.
Men, let us take this commitment seriously.  The strength of the local Church is to be founded on the Word of God and centered on Jesus, we are to be led by the Holy Spirit, and God in His Word has given us a role to play.  Men are called to lead, care, support and be active in the ministry of the local Church.  Care for your families, live out your faith at work and in the community and work to help lead the Church forward.

The HIT men is not about any sort of "para-church" movement, the HIT men is about re-invigorating the local Church by challenging Christian men to start to follow what the Bible says for them to do.

Amen!

Do not loose heart, be the man God has for you to be!

Men,

Do not loose heart!  Be the Man God has created you to be!  Follow God, connect with a local Church, read your Bible, Submit to the Lordship of Jesus, Commit to care for and serve your wife and family.  Be a real man.  Live with responsibility, work hard, walk with solid character and integrity, be known as a man of truth and one who walks in the ways of justice.  Do not be another person who just moves through life, get involved, make a difference.  Seek to grow, learn to lead, be a difference maker.

God does not want you to be a boy for your whole life, time to grow up, time to step up.  God wants us to be tender hearted men who protect and care for those in need and who also prepare themselves for battle as warriors.  Do not fall for the lies of this world and the weak minded anti-christian view of manhood.  Be a Biblical man, not macho or prideful but a strong, humble, caring, warrior.  

Let's step it up and press on!
