This week we celebrated Father's Day at Chosen Generation Ministries and of course we did it in true CGM fashion. Pastor P used this time to reveal to us the 4 Components of Man.  He explained that Jesus, our example, displayed each characteristic during his earthly ministry and that He sets the standard for men.
The 4 components are:

1. King
2. Warrior
3. Lover, and
4. Friend

Each component has a focus and if they are demonstrated out of proportion, they are distorted and may cause problems in relationships.  The King, in balance is focused on righteousness and exhibits strong conviction. When out of balance King becomes tyrant or, on the other end of the spectrum, passive, The Warrior is full of conquering energy and drive.  When this facet is out of balance they exhibit the characteristics of either a wimp or a destroyer. Everybody loves the Lover. The Lover is full of romance and tenderness with healthy doses of emotional availability. When on hyper drive, this facet becomes cold or critical. Last but certainly not least is the friend. This face abounds in loyalty, they love a challenge and are looking for fun. Out of balance they become users or loners.  

So what's a guy to do? Well we're not saying you should change your whole personality but if you operate more in one characteristic, Pastor P mentioned that you could ask the Holy Spirit to consecrate it and bring it in line. Also he told us about Proverbs 27:17 where it says that "Iron sharpens iron...". Locate other men that are operating in the facet that you need more of and learn from them. 

You know, much more was shared than what I can say here so why not do yourself the favor of checking our Happy Hour on Thursdays at 7 PM and Sunday Service at 12 PM.
