What do you want out of this study?
For those of you reading along in The Measure of a Man (and if you are not, join us!), p. 22 has some great questions and exercises on it. The one I want to post today, and would like to see your responses on the blog, is this: Write one goal you'd like to achieve as a result of this study.
Well what is it? Personally, I would like to assess my strengths and weaknesses in my Christian maturity and develop the discipline to pray daily about them.
I would also like to see the men in my church develop the discipline of daily prayer--for themselves, their families, their church, and the Kingdom!

I find it a little daunting to personally express in any other than general terms, on such a public forum, some goal intent, which is a euphemism for saying I have faults (a,b,b1,b1a, c etc.) and want to do the right thing and correct them by such and thus a fashion. But now that, in addition to reading the first chapter of Getz guide, and having taken that FB 'Gifts of God' quiz, then I think an accomplishment of striving to attain a more consistant outwardly flowing (into the mission field) worship experience would be good.
Agree. Posting faults in such a public forum might not play well for everyone. So let's keep it positive. Having a goal to be MORE faithful in scripture reading, prayer, church involvement, etc is a good thing.
I think sustaining a walk of worship is great. Pray without ceasing is another great biblical command. For me, the phrase "be more spiritually minded--or perhaps Christ-minded" keeps coming to mind.
My goals (transparently) are:
1a) to read the book, yet strategically remember only the best parts.
1b) to mark all the other "non-best" parts for quick reference and later review.
2) to do self-evaluation based on these principles.
3) to apply these principles to my life.
Simple, true.
ah yes. the strategic remembrance. this is truly a gift, or a developed talent. fortunately, guys are very good at the strategic remembrance!
