The Battle to Satisfy Our Hearts In Christ

Our Men Need Help Learning How to
Satisfy Their Souls In Christ

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”  Prov 4:23

"One reason lust reigns in so many is that Christ has so little appeal.  You were created to treasure Christ with all your heart--more than you treasure sex or sugar.  If you have little taste for Jesus, competing pleasures will triumph.  Plead with God for the satisfaction you don't have.  Quote Psalm 90:14, 'Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love that we might rejoice and be glad all our days.'  Then, look, look, LOOK at the most magnificent person in the universe until you see him the way he is." (John Piper)

"Man's chief end is to glorify God and to ENJOY Him forever."  (Question #1, The Westminister Shorter Catechism)

It is vital that we set our affections on the Lord as our first love.  He is the answer to our deepest longings.  We are created to love him with all of our heart and mind and strength.  When we are not delighting our heart in the Lord, we are more vulnerable to the pull of other "gods" in the world that promise to satisfy the desires of our hearts.

In today's world, the root problem for many men is idolatry--we are looking to sex, success, acceptance, prestige to be the God that promises us happiness.  But men are also saying--don't just tell me my problem is idolatry--help me satisfy my soul more in my love relationship with Christ.  We have some great tools to help you with this challenge!
