Daily Manna from the 'Net [KJV] - Daily Manna from the 'Net for Thursday, December 31, 2009 [Mark 2:7-12]
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. Mark 2:7-12 KJV

HonorBound: Men's Ministries

HonorBound: Men's Ministries is more than a name for Men's Ministries.  It is a new way of looking at oneself as a godly man.  As a result, it embodies the vision of where we are trying to go with all the men.  The major philosophy is to challenge men to think about who they are in Christ when they think of the name HonorBound.  HonorBound rest on four basic principles, all of which come from the Word of God.

In John 5:23, Jesus declares that to honor Him is to honor our Father who is in heaven.

  • In Matthew 15:4, the Lord also said that we are to honor our farther and mother; and in this statement laid down a principle for honoring our familes.

  • And then the apostle Paul, in 1 Timothy 5:3, said we are to make provisions for those who are in need.

  • In 1 Peter 2:17, the apolstle Peter says we are to honor those who have authority over us.

These four principles paint a picture of what it means to be an HonorBound man.  At the very core of being HonorBound is the idea of honor in very sense of the word.  If a man can look himself in the mirror and see himself as someone different, someone dressed in the full armor of God, fully ready to take on life as a man of honor, then we will have accomplished the vision of HonorBound.

First Assembly's HonorBound Men's Ministries usually meets on the third Saturday of the month.  Except for the month that West Texas District HonorBound Men's convention is held and the month of December.

Every man is welcome to attend and enjoy a complete breakfast, fellowship, devotional and prayer time.
