Having just taken over the leadership of our Men's Ministry' at my Church this book has opened my eyes to what God wants to see if ALL men. R. Kent Hughes (DMin, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is senior pastor emeritus of College Church in Wheaton, Illinois, and former professor of practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The man who carries on an act of impurity is not simply breaking a human code, nor even sinning against the God who at some time in the past gave him the gift of the Spirit.

I felt as if I was being poured into by one of My faith mentors and I am encouraged to continue growing in those disciplines in which I fall short. gelesen haben, da sowas in unserer Gesellschaft und auch teilweise Familie einfach nicht mehr vorgelebt wird oder gelehrt wird (es gibt aber auch noch eine Version für Junge Leute, bin aber selber Student und bin über glücklich dieses Buch gefunden zu haben! If you are married, the presence or lack of spiritual discipline can serve to sanctify or damn your children and grandchildren.The book is separated int0 different sections, which include relationships, soul, character, ministry and discipline. He constantly references scripture throughout the book, to provide examples of men in the Bible living out the disciplines. Leadership is another short chapter that bring a different perspective, but something that is important for men especially. This sin is seen in its true light only when it is seen as a preference for impurity rather than a Spirit who is holy. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell.

Kent Hughes’s inspiring and best-selling book Disciplines of a Godly Man—now updated with fresh references and suggested resources—is filled with godly advice aimed at helping men grow in the disciplines of prayer, integrity, marriage, leadership, worship, purity, and more. I also appreciate the book recommendations near the end of each chapter and Those given by many of the pillars of our faith near the end of the book. It is rich in biblical guidance, applicable instruction, and comprehensible anecdotes that allow the reader to better understand the book and the Bible itself.In this way he broke all of the Ten Commandments that relate to loving one's neighbor as oneself - 5 through 10. He isn't opposed to TV, just points out that for the most part, it is there just to kill time, and recommends different things to read instead - Scripture and Christian literature.
