The Puritan identity. On a journey to a better country (Hebrews 11:16), going further up and further in to the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God (Romans 11:33) by laboring to delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) while the war and conflict relentlessly rage on until Christ comes (Romans 7:22-25) or calls me home.

Let the Process Begin...
Man Up Anthem by Lecrae, KB, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Sho Baraka, Pro, Andy Mineo
All: MAN UP!
Lecrae: Momma want some Obama in me The hood want PAC hip-hop wanna see the common in me And since it's a senseless contradiction I end up a misfit trying to fit in This is when I stand up And see the hands that are standard Holy is The lamb huh(holy is the lamb) Now we holding you to man up Cause we were made in his image start looking at what you came from
KB: Right after Adam every atom in our anatomy's Adamic adamant after what Adonai is against Let me take you back to the tree in Eden If you read it, you'll see that Eve was deceived But Adam is the one who let her eat it Instead of leading, No we ain't leading - we bump that Basically li'l boys with muscles and a mustache To femininity...we need a remedy The God-Man: 100% masculinity
Trip Lee: We the last.....
Where the men at, seems like they all lost None of them are on the scene, seems like they died off They extinct but my dream is to rise up We chasing the prize of the King the divine boss But we fell away, now we ungodly We lose and we really got the blues like Na'vi I want to celebrate the dudes that's beside me Fellas let's elevate, we through with the lobby
Tedashii: Go ahead say boy get your shine on And if a sucker try to block you get your 9 homes That's what I heard you gotta do to be a man now Stand up for yourself so I took it in my hands now And that's the problem man we busy trying to solve it All the while we walking dead, man somebody bring the coffin Voice drop peach fuzz now you think that your a man cause you feeling yourself You need to man up!
Sho Baraka: There's many things Man is chasin' after They got some questions We got some answers
Sex and models and tipping bottles Pack a pile of excuses right next to your bottle caps A roll of decks filled with names that you aim to please Next to the stack of money building up a heart of greed Ice on his neck, givin' jokers the cold shoulder You drunk off pride plus you loving the hangover You gotta whole lotta stuff that won't amount to gain Life will never make sense(cents) because you never made change
PRo: We got it twisted, sick like a fever Lil man live to stack dough, Keebler Man up! Get up out of that treehouse Leave the cookies alone it's time to eat meat now Trying to show you a new way to live now No charge, you can call it a freestyle Without Christ you wont know what a man is You a boy in a man's body like Tom Hanks in Big
Andy Mineo: Being a man got nothing to do with age You can be a boy til the day you lay in your grave None of us behave in the image of who we're made Cause we fallen the ways it's better known as depraved Running from responsibility really we crave The easy way out of places that call us to pull our weight Man they blowing through everyday decisions are made Responding to the call God's giving em from the...
All: Man Up! Andy: Let the process begin, separate the boys from the men All: Man Up! Andy: It don't matter how you started, partner, it's about how you end All: Man Up! Andy: Jesus is the model follow us we gon follow him All: Man Up! Andy: We the- we the last of a dying breed It's time that we
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:24-27
I used to think that my joy and God's glory were completely unrelated. I lived for God's glory and not my own pleasure.
I praise my Father of grace and mercy for showing me that the two are not at odds, but are one and the same, standing and falling together: that me seeking God's glory is what it means to seek my highest joy. When one is missing, so is the other. God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Oh, if only we could fully absorb the implications of this truth! I guess that is what I will spend the rest of my life trying to do. Thanks John Piper. Thank You Father.
