A Message From Good News Press

Authentic Manhood in the End Times

By Howard Green
A narrative drilled into our heads every day by pop
-culture, the media, Hollywood, and even people in
our own circles has become the norm. The broad
summary of the narrative is this: All men are pretty
much alike and they all live and behave in the same
way. I suspect that Im not alone in my belief that
the worlds idea of what a real man is couldnt be
more flawed.
As a Christian man, I want to expose the worlds
notion of manhood for what it isa lie. I also want
to encourage brothers in Christ everywhere to live
out an authentic manhood in these last days.
Before we dig in, I want to address sisters in Christ.
We know you as wives, moms, daughters, sisters,
aunts, and friends. As you read this article for men,
please understand it is meant to encourage you as
well. The world tells you the same pack of lies
about men. As believers, we know this isnt the
truth.
The continuous defamation of the roll and character of men is unrelenting. Please remember that we
need your prayers, support, and encouragement.
Wives please pray for your husbands. Moms please

pray for your sons. Grand moms please intercede

for your Grandsons. Aside from the Lord, Bible
believing women are the greatest asset we have.
If you are a Christian teenage young lady or young
woman, please remember that you belong to the
Lord. Christian guys are your brothers. Be an example of kindness, modesty, and true beauty that is
so rare and hard to find these days. You will be
such an encouragement to your brothers in Christ.
But understand this, that in the last days there will
come times of difficulty, For people will be lovers
of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without selfcontrol, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
Men, we live in dark days and the onslaught of evil
is growing by the day. I began to notice this defaming of the roll of men start in the 1970s and it really
took hold in the 1980s. Now in the last decade or
so, it

The Christian message is often referred to as the "Gospel," which

means "good news." Specifically, it
is the good news about Jesuswho
He is, what He has done, and what
He offers. Essentially, the message
is that Jesus was God in the flesh,
that He came into the world to reconcile humanity to Himself, and
that his salvation is freely offered to
each person who will respond in
faith. The Gospel message explains
that salvation is only possible
through the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. Through his sacrifice, Jesus paid the price for our sinfulness (rebellion against God), thus
offering us forgiveness. Then
through his Resurrection He conquered death, removing it as the
penalty for our sin and replacing it
with the offer of eternal life that is
only available from Him to all those
that place their faith in Him.

The Blessings of Being Persecuted for

the Cause of Christ by Sean Gooding
This article is based on a continuation of Matthew chapter 5:1-12 (the
Beatitudes).
Are you ready to suffer for the Lord
if need be? We live in a time when
being a Christian is almost being
outlawed. It is illegal in many places, and even in North America
where the idea of free speech
has been birthed and nurtured for
more than 200 years, to stand for
what is right.
Jesus warned us that as the time
of the end approached we would
be perilous times for those that believed the truth. He said these
words in Matthew 24:9-14:
Then they will deliver you up to
tribulation and kill you, and you will
be hated by all nations for My
names sake. And then many will
be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then
many false prophets will rise up
and deceive many.
And because lawlessness will
abound, the love of many will grow
cold. But he who endures to the
end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached in the entire world as a
witness to all the nations, and then
the end will come.
Jesus was answering His disciples question about the last days
and when the end would come.
He made it clear that we would be
hated by all nations and this is true
in our time today. Christianity is
seen as a plague to those that are
blinded by the evil one the devil
himself.
Those of us who have been enlightened by the light and life of
Christ see the world as it is: a dark
place, shading the truth from spiritually dead people. We feel compelled to say something for their
wellbeing and find ourselves ridiculed for trying to help people that
we love. Isaiah 5:20 tells us this

and reminds us that we should expect this to happen:

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for
sweet and sweet for bitter.
We live in a time when the world
system has turned right and wrong
on its head. Good and evil are being redefined by Man and for those
of us who trust in the definitions
that the Lord has given
definitions that secured and founded most of what we call civil society in the last millennia, are seen
as intolerant and unloving.
To insist, lovingly, that right and
wrong cannot be changed and that
the definitions of right and wrong
established by God are the only
definitions that matter and no
amount of laws or edicts will ever
change thatis intolerable, to lost
and dying world.
Thus, as the divide between right
and wrong become less and less
as far as lost mankind is concerned, the rift between Christians
and the lost world in which we live
will inevitably grow. The natural
fruit of this kind of divide is persecution; lost people en masse will
only tolerate being reminded of
their sins for so long and then they
will hit out.
As one reads through the book of
Acts you will see that as the Apostles confronted sins and lawlessness with the power of the gospel.
People either repented or tried to
kill them. We are living in that kind
of extreme time in 2016 and on
into the future.
So I ask: Are you ready? Am I
ready to suffer for the Lord? For
most of us the answer is more
worry for our children and wives.

Crouch Family Statement on the Passing of
TBN Co-Founder Jan Crouch
Laurie and I have just watched the
transition of our precious Mother from
this world to the next; watched her
step into the presence of Jesus and
into her heavenly reward. Jan Crouch,
known around the world as Momma
Jan, has gone home.

To thousands of orphans around the

world, and those orphaned in spirit,
she was Momma Jan, quick with a
smile, a gift, and a word of encouragement.

How To Be Saved Romans Road To

Salvation
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God."

Every person who has ever lived on Earth has

sinned and fell short of Gods expectations,
except for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:23a "

For the wages of sin is death..."

We were all on our way to Hell because

there is a price to be paid for sin. It is a physical and spiritual death and eternal separation
from God. This eternal separation also includes sinners being eternally lost and cast
into the Lake of fire.

Romans 6:23b
"...but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."

who didnt give up, someone who
fought relentlessly to get the Gospel
around the world.

Viewers of the Trinity Broadcasting

Network knew her as someone who
partnered with Paul Crouch in the
launch and expansion of TBN, and as
someone who came into their homes
for over 40 years.

Jan Crouch loved many things, but

most of all she loved Jesus, and now
has seen Him face to face and has experienced His grace in fullness.
She has taken a piece of our hearts
with her, but it's so wonderful to know
that Paul and Jan Crouch are together
again, in the arms of Jesus.
Matt, Laurie, Caylan, and Cody
Crouch

The good news is we can be saved from this

death and separation from God. Eternal life is
a gift from God but only available through
the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only way.

Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us."
Man was not deserving of God, we were not
righteous but we all were sinners. But God
loved us so much that while we were yet doing our things, going our own ways, deep in
sin, Christ died for us. He bore the penalty
for all of our sins.

Romans 10:9,10
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Confess the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, so
that God can save you.
He doesnt care about what sins you have
done in the past. He loves you and wants to
save you. Jesus Christ paid the complete
price, taking all of mankinds sins unto himself on the cross. We have to no longer be
slaves to sin and death.

Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon

the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Call on the Lord Jesus and ask him to save
you. God wants to. He loves you!

Authentic Manhood in the End Times by Howard Green Continued from Page 1
Now in the last decade or so, it seems like there
is an all out frontal assault on men. Hollywood
for the most part, likes to portray men as poorly
mannered, sex crazed, egotistic bumbling idiots.
Thinking of television in just the past few years
or so, men have been portrayed like goofballs in
shows such as: Married With Children, Friends,
Everybody Loves Raymond, and The King
of Queens to name just a few.
Think about the men the actors in these shows
portray. They are usually very immature, selfabsorbed, simple minded, and foolish. The husbands and fathers portrayed on these shows are
reduced down to having the same intellect as a
sideshow clown. I have news for Hollywood; the
world doesnt dictate how Christian men should
liveonly Jesus can do that.
Reality shows are the big thing now. The
Hills, The Bachelor, Real Housewives (of wherever), Jersey Shore, and Keeping up with the
Kardashians are just a sampling of shows that
highlight what a degenerate mess this world is
in. Most of the males on these shows are
simply boys who know how to shave, in my
opinion.
Its not just the television shows, because the
commercials have some of the most sexually
charged, provocative, and debased content available for all to see. I say that because although
Im not a sports fanatic, occasionally I will
watch a big game like the Super Bowl or World
Series with my sons or daughters.
One minute you are seeing the replay of a great
touchdown and before you know it,
theres a scantily dressed woman on the screen
in what is supposed to be a commercial about
cars. Wardrobe malfunctions, sexual innuendo,
and materialism are the rulenot the exception.
I used to turn my head, now its just better to
turn the filth off.
I had the opportunity to go to an Indianapolis
Colts game last year. I was with another guy and
we were having a great time. All of a sudden,

the huge fifty foot tall television screens on the

four sides of the stadium zoomed in on the
cheerleaders who had very little on in the way of
clothing.
I simply turned away and decided that looking at
my bag of peanuts was irresistible! As funny as
it sounds, I wanted the young man next to me to
know that my eyes are reserved for my wife and
my heart belongs to her and the Lord. I didnt
put on a big show or overreact. I simply looked
the other way; it wasnt what the usual male reaction is supposed to be according to the worlds
(low) standards.
I have made a covenant with my eyes; how
then could I gaze at a virgin? (Job 31:1).
The point is this: The world sends the wrong
message to our sons and daughters: Money can
satisfy all of your needs. Men are cool if they
drink a particular brand of beer. Young
men, this is the kind of woman you need. Young
lady, if you dress like this you will get attention.
The list of wrong messages never ends. I want
my children and all of our youth to know that
they dont have to live the lies that the world
sells them.
Sin can be pleasurable for a season, but it always
leads to death. This world system is corrupt with
lies from the father of lies, so I want to disengage from it at all costs. Notice I said
disengage the world, not the people in the
world. To me, that is one of the most exiting
parts about being a Christian man. Guys, you
and I have the opportunity to be salt and light in
a very dark place.
Do you understand how rare, distinct, and revolutionary living for Gods glory isin a society
that is fixated on self? If you live as a disciple of
Jesus, you will be like an exile or stranger from
a different planet. Engaging people with the love
of Christ and living a holy life as a man of God
in this dark society is not what the world expects
the average man to do.
As Christian men, we are expected to act and

behave a certain way. When we walk according

to the Spirit and not the flesh, we will be like
aliens compared to the men who live for their
own pleasure. There have been movements such
as Promise Keepers and others that bring men
together under the banner of Christianity. I dont
have a positive or negative opinion of mens
conferences because at the end of the day, it is
the Lord who looks at the fruit of such efforts
and thats what matters.
I do believe men should be part of a local
church. Men should be involved in corporate
Bible study or a small group. We should also
have brothers in our lives to encourage us, and
to whom we mutually accountable. Iron sharpens iron and there is something very unique
about men getting together to lift up Jesus
name.
I can hear some of you guys saying, Howard,
this is mens ministry 101,we do all of this. I
get it, but I want to reiterate the importance of
fellowship because I believe one of the ways the
enemy tries to devour us is through isolation or
trying to go it alone. We need brothers both
young and old in our lives with whom to walk
this Christian walk You are building up other
men in the faith by the example of your walk
with the Lord.
There is something even bigger than fellowship
with other brothers, and thats your personal
walk with Jesus. When small group time is over,
the conference has ended or the mens Bible
study breaks for the season, you will still need to
stand firm. When it comes right down to it basics, its my own walk with the Savior that will
matter for eternity.
Personal integrity, character, behavior, habits,
and lifestyle are all governed by the will of God
if Im truly a Christian man. Reading the Bible,
praying, and engaging in fellowship continually
with Jesus are the things that will make me a
man who lives to glorify God.

Manhood Continued from Page 5
I see something in modern evangelicalism, a pattern among men: Excuses.
Can we please stop the obsession
with the word struggle?
Let me preface the rest of my thought
and tell you that I understand we are
all at different places in our walk.
There are differing levels of spiritual
maturity and growth. So I get it that a
man who has just been saved out of a
long life filled with alcohol, drug, pornography, or other addictions will
have a battle on his hands.
If it werent for the grace of God, I
would be right there wallowing in my
sins. Pride comes before a fall and its
not for any of us to brag that we stand
strong, lest we fall into rebellion and
sin. So please understand that Im not
addressing personal trials and temptations because we all have them. Its
what we do with them, our thought
lives, and ultimately our actions that
lead to sin.
We do need to support a brother when
he is genuinely in a struggle, in the
truest sense of the word. He needs
prayer, accountability, wise counsel,
and love from Christian brothers.
There are some who are truly struggling and we need to be there to pray
for and encourage those men. A
day often comes when a brothers
struggle is replaced by a growing daily obedience to the Word of God and
the wonderful the fruits of the Spirit.
Do not be conformed to this
world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing
you may discern what is the will of
God, what is good and acceptable and
perfect (Romans 2:12).
What Im addressing here is something totally different. What I am are
zeroing in on here are the guys who
just doesnt want to keep his eyes off
of women who are not their wives or
put down the bottle, or take a sledgehammer to the computer where he
views porn. This type of guy isnt struggling; he is living in blatant
rebellion of Gods Word.

Lets see it for what it issin. Ive

seen this pattern over and over again.
Brother (fill in the blank) makes a
profession of faith. He gets into mens
ministrya small group and becomes
a member at church. Before long, he
slips back into his old ways, cheats on
his wife, lives like hes not a Christian, and is defiant in the process.
A man who is walking with Christ is
transformed by the renewing of his
mind. His life is marked by a steady
increase of Christ-likeness and holiness. The fruit of a life that has been
transformed by the Spirit of God he is
radically different.
That isnt the case with a man who
claims to be a believer, but lives for
this world. I agree that we should be
equal parts truth and love because
thats the model Jesus left for us. Unfortunately, and more often than not, I
see well-meaning Christians come
alongside this type of man and label
what hes going through as
a struggle.
I have known elders instructing Christian men but are unwilling to confront
them with the biblical reality of blatant sin in their lives. That is not a
biblical approach. Showing fallen or
backslidden men love involves going
to a very hard place by risking the
friendship, unity, and peace at any
cost in order to rescue them. They
need Christian men in their lives to
love them enough to risk the relationship and lovingly be lovingly confronted. I would hope that a brother
would love my soul enough to get in
my face with biblical reality before I
destroy my marriage, family, and life.
Better is open rebuke than hidden
love. Faithful are the wounds of a
friend; profuse are the kisses of an
enemy (Proverbs 27:5-6).
My brothers, if anyone among you
wanders from the truth and someone
brings him back, let him know that
whoever brings back a sinner from his
wandering will save his soul from
death and will cover a multitude of
sins (James 5:19-20). Contd Pg. 8

Good News Press - 8

Manhood Continued from Page 7
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him
in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one anothers
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if
anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself (Galatians 6:1-3).
That brings me to a final point. You cannot
will, fight, manipulate or conjure up goodness
in and of yourself. Its only Christ in me that
is good. Left to my own goodness and trying, I
will fail miserably. I have to die to myself daily
and crucify the flesh if Im to live for Jesus.
That is why I said earlier that conferences,
small group, mens fellowship groups are all
fine, but at the end of the day, its my personal
walk with Jesus and His atoning work for me
that will count. I can never be good enough on
my own.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And
the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in
the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself
for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if
righteousness were through the law, then Christ
died for no purpose (Galatians 2:20-21),
Guys, we must live with a longing to hear,
Well done good and faithful servant? If we
surrender our pretend goodness and let Christ
work in and through us, He will help us in so
many ways. We will be able to love our wives
like He loves the Church. We will speak words
of wisdom into our childrens lives.
We will be better equipped as friends, teachers,
pastors, and co-laborers to build-up one another; to be sober minded, grounded, and stand
firm when the world around us seems to be falling headlong into an abyss of immorality.
Friends, take care of your walk and although
important, dont get so caught-up in family, life,
or ministry to the point that you neglect your
own walk with Jesus.
I want every Christian man who is reading this
to understand that we are at war. We dont have
the time or luxury to stroll leisurely toward
heaven as we live out our lives daily.
Heads up: Jesus is coming soon and the enemy
knows his time is limited. Satan wants to devour you, destroy your family, wreck you marriage, and obliterate your children. Lets get
back to basics and pray for our kids daily. We
need to pray for our wives daily. I dont do it
enough and what a blessing to miss out on.

We need to take our wives by the hand any pray

for her and over her, because there is a war raging against her as well. We need to live holy
lives, which means living a lifestyle set apart
unto God, not only because people are watching
but it is Gods will and command for us. We all
have the opportunity to be a witness of the life
changing work of Jesus.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it
abundantly. I am the good shepherd (John
10:10).
We have a responsibility to stand against the
narrative that this world tries to ram down our
throats. Laughing at coarse jokes is what worldly men do. Staring at the pretty lady who walks
by with your friends and they pressure you by
saying, It's okay to look, but not to touch
is what worldly men do.
We should not commit adultery in our hearts by
staring and lusting at women who are not our
wives; instead we should keep our desire only
for our wives and no one else. Spending money
on yourself and worrying about number one
instead of putting your wife and kids first is
what many men do, but not if he is truly saved.
We need to speak life into a conversation thats
heading nowhere that is good. Before we worry
about our golf games, guys night out or what we
want to do, we gladly set those things aside to
bless our wives by doing what she loves and do
it with a truly cheerful heart.
Be sure to be the same man behind closed doors
that you are in public. We cannot afford to play
religious games or have an apathetic Christian
walk. We need to follow hard after Jesus
wholeheartedly. Living this life for the glory of
God alone, and not ourselves is the diametric
opposite of how the world lives.
Friends, we need to emulate real mennot
the boys in mens clothing of todays pop culture. We need more men like Joseph, Job, David, Jeremiah, Daniel, Stephen, Peter, James,
Paul, Timothy, and of course Jesus. These are
real men who lived boldly for the Fathers glory.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every
weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let
us run with endurance the race that is set before
us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter
of our faith, who for the joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising the shame, and

is seated at the right hand of the throne of

God (Hebrews 12:1-2).
As these days grow darker prior to Jesus return, I dont expect the spiritual battle to abate.
On the contrary, I expect the full onslaught of
Satan to come against all Christian men and of
course the entire Church. Make no mistake, if
you stand and live for Jesus, you will be attacked.
Men, lets pray for one another, encourage others to finish well and live as an example of authentic manhood in these end times. If you

living for Jesus, click here.
All for Him,
