Last Saturday was the first ever Macarthur Men's Conference, which I attended. Christian brothers from all over the Macarthur area joined together to look into God's words, pray, praise His awesome name and be encouraged.

The music was great, electric guitar, drums and keyboard, played by some amazing muscians, gave a new life to some classic hymns.

I was encouraged by Phillip Jensen as he talked on Gods mission and our responsibility as christian men in light of His mission.

One point that stood out to me was responsibility. As men we should be taking, not only responsibility for our actions, but also taking responsibility for the people God has put in our life.

As men we will be held accountable for our family and it is our job to lead our family to coming to know Jesus as their Lord and savior.  church was another place where we need to step up and encourage those in the congregation.

Prayer is a big part of the role of a man, and we should not shy away from such an awesome opportunity to bring every thing to our Lord and to encourage our brothers and sisters to do the same.

It was definitely a worthwhile day and am looking forward to next year. if you didn't make it this year make sure you come next year.
