Last night at church, our topic at Impact was, "What Every Man Needs - Encouragement." We really had a good discussion at our table. The scripture for this session was from I Thessalonians 5:11.
We shared the following with each other with the men at the table:
1. What is the one thing that discourages you the most?
2. What are some examples of encouraging others?
3. Commit to encourage and build up someone this week.
We also shared other ideas that came up at our table. We realized you do not have to say anything to be an encourager. Sometimes just your presence is enough to encourage someone.
Also, we can be the ones that can encourage from time to time...imagine that! Remember that old saying..."It is better to give than to receive?" You do not have to be the one that gets the encouragement all the time. There is someone out there that you can encourage.
Be an encourager. Build up one another!
P.S. This is not just for men. We just happened to study this topic in our men's group on Wednesday night.

Phillip,
You encourage people all the time with your presence. Yea You!!! Just today Jim and I were talking about this subject and it's so good to see you young people doing this. People are watching and wanting what you do and how you do it and want to have it..."It" being the good Christian men that you are.
Thanks for the example.
Sharon
