For my Christian Brothers...A Call to Courage!

For my Christian Brothers...A Call to Courage!

God calls you to stand in the breach. When you see your marriage failing, you are called to stand firm and fight for it. When you see your children slipping away, into bad behaviors; you are called to fight for them. When you see trouble moving into your community, you are called to take the initiative to rebuke and struggle against it.

Imagine this country, this world, if every Christian man rose up and took responsibility for his marriage, for his family and for his community.

Too often has a man sat by and watched his family disintegrate. Too often has a man watched his family prepare for Church services, yet instead of going with them, he turns on the game. Too often has a man watched cruelty and evil being done, and said nothing.

We were not called by God to be men on the sidelines! We are called to action! We are called to be faithful; to our God, to our spouse, to our family, to our Church family, to our communities. God expects more of us than what we have given Him! We have shrugged off responsibility and accountability for now, but God will call us to account, He will demand an answer. He will want to know why you did not guard your family with fervent love. He will want to know why didn't stand for the faith. He will want to know why you were silent in the face of evil.

There are faithful men of God throughout the world who are doing as the Lord has called upon us to do; but the numbers are not what they should be in our own country.

We need men of courage, of honor, of faithfulness and steadfastness to stand against the tide of wanton and empty worldliness and callous evil.

A godly man, who loves the Lord, who cherishes his family, and who serves his community can change lives.

Will you stand up and answer the call God has given you?

God's grace be with you,
Fr. Charles Butler
