Faithfully proclaiming the Gospel and witnessing Christ as written in the Bible (Luke 24:44-47; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4), all faithful Christian men boldly labor to restore other men beginning in their own families and wherever the Holy Spirit leads (Acts 8:1-5).3 Anxiety about this is reduced by remembering the mission is simply to proclaim what we know from the Word and our own experience with Christ if given the opportunity, not to convert folk! Our work is finished upon rejection and we move on (Luke 10:1-16). When a man does come to Jesus, while local churches still exist he should be taken or directed to one for baptism and sound instruction in the faith and biblical manhood.
Woe to any pastor that does anything other than encourage and begin to teach and personally mentor newly restored men in the faith and biblical manhood or delegate this to another faithful man right away! Given the deteriorating times, if a newly restored man has no pastor or biblically sound church that can be found from one in a house to a larger, brick and mortar building, then the man who led him to Christ should take responsibility to give some instruction and at least baptize him if possible (Acts 8:26-40). Otherwise, the newly restored man should be told to earnestly seek the Lord for a maturing Christian man to teach and mentor him in the faith and biblical manhood (Acts 9:1-19).
Satan’s intense offensive drive in these final two minutes of the game will eventually become widely violent in America, the West and globally well before his Antichrist arrives on the scene (Matthew 24:9). His objective is to hatefully eliminate Christians from the earth as impediments and destroy as many Jews with much of the rest of humanity as possible before certain defeat by Christ at His return! In the meantime, laboring faithfully in the Lord’s Kingdom cause, work and warfare to restore men and standing firm in the faith will require all that God has designed and equipped restored men as aspiring strong men of God in the image of Jesus Christ to be!
Truly, in the thick of our two minute drill, all restored men in Christ must seriously honor His instruction as I write in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics and follow His example (Matthew 16:24-25).4 For as a Son, He made pleasing the Father in Selfless devotion and doing His will the core ambition of His earthly life (Psalm 40:7-8). As a Disciple of His Father, the Lord Jesus absorbed and gave Himself over fully in obedience to His instruction as well as trusted Him for help (Isaiah 50:4-9). With a Servant’s heart, Christ endured the scorn of those who rejected and gave Him over to violence and death in order to pay for our sins (Isaiah 52:13-53:12).
In my book, I also point out how the result of Christ’s uniquely Personal work and warfare in God’s Kingdom cause brought salvation and restoration to the world! Commissioned by Him, our work and warfare in the Kingdom cause is to ensure fellow humanity beginning with men as a first priority hears the Good News of Christ’s triumph on our behalf (Romans 10:14-15)! Then, only after this do we baptize and teach those that repent and believe. So, as faithful sons of the Father, disciples of Christ and servants to God and humanity we press with selfless ambition to carry out our mission; willing even to suffer and die in it because with Christ’s heart, humanity is precious to us.
From the earliest times, men have fought and died in wars for all manner of purposes. It is in the hearts of men to face death for even ignoble causes they believe in. How can we not believe in the noblest of causes; that of God’s Kingdom cause, work and warfare in this present age to save and restore, since we who are saved and restored are grateful beneficiaries? There is also the not so small matter of seeking the greatness of God’s promised rewards for laboring to the point of physical death in His Kingdom cause, work and warfare beginning with the resurrection to immortal glory Christ already has (Matthew 5:10-12, 16:25-27; Romans 8:12-18; 1 Timothy 6:11-16; 2 Timothy 4:6-8; James 1:12)! Of course, in all of this I speak biblically and not as a passive religionist.
As a result, in biblical Christianity character matters! Through much adversity, God builds Christ’s character in restored men aspiring to be strong men of God in His image as eternal identity and in order to work, war and make our defensive stand for the Kingdom to His glory on this mortal side of endless life. Again, I go into more detail in my book. However, in this space, know, for example, Christ’s holy character including zeal, courage, strength, humility, obedience and tested faith of which He is “the Author and Finisher,” is fully demonstrated in His life and ministry (John 2:13-22, 18:1-11; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 5:5-9; 12:1-2, NKJV). God also equips us with the Holy Spirit’s strength and power along with the battle proven armor of Christ (Ephesians 6:10-20)!5
3 Our faithful sisters work cooperatively with their Christian husbands to reach their children. Then, their priority is female family members and other women. Obviously, having been led to Christ by a woman, I am not teaching a woman can never share the Gospel with or witness to a man (John 4:27-30, 39). I give only God’s general rule of priority. However, as it concerns mixed gender group instruction in the faith and one on one mentoring of biblical man or womanhood, the Bible gives God’s ancient, unmistakable instruction (1 Timothy 2:11-14; Titus 2:1-5). The fact I am compelled to make any clarifying statements at all shows the devastating negative impact the rebellious feminist worldview has had on the psyche of many professing Christians (who are made to feel in a biblical worldview such as I teach, women are overlooked in God’s program--what a lie from Satan!) and how far from God’s Word they are. O, my faithful sisters, you have your full part in all that pertains to the bib- lical faith, service, tribulations and glories to come in Christ!

The earth is the field of play in a game that started millennia ago in Eden and as a result, has been the longest ever in existence! In that first quarter of four, Satan scored first by enticing Eve to sin, then, through her fatally for all, Adam; bringing on them and their progeny God’s promised penalty of spiritual and physical death. But God promised a Deliverer to come that would crush Satan. The quarter ended with a cataclysmic flood as judgment, though, a godly line was preserved through Noah. In the second quarter, God called a man of faith He named Abraham into the game and through him brought forth a special people from whom His Anointed would come in a future day.
The children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were enslaved 400 years by Satan in another stunning score and what appeared to be a knockout blow to any divine redemptive plans. But God came down and with mighty wonders and judgments brought His people, Israel, out of bondage. He gave them His Law and brought them into the land He had promised Abraham. However, they were not faithful and the second quarter ends with their being sent into captivity as judgment. While dispersed from the land in the opening of the third quarter, God reiterates His promises of salvation and good toward the people and their land even giving them a timeline through the prophet, Daniel.
God the Son and Word took Human form in the seed of a Jewish virgin named Mary and was born in the time, manner and place His prophets had foretold. As a Man, Jesus Christ preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and offered Himself to the people as God’s promised Deliverer. He was rejected and put to death by crucifixion in what appeared to be another satanic score impossible to overcome. But God raised His Son from the dead after three days! Before returning to Heaven, the Lord commissioned His immediate disciples and all to come after them to preach Him and restoration through the forgiveness of sins in all the earth beginning at Jerusalem first, Israel’s eternal capital.
As He had promised, the King sent the Holy Spirit down to His chosen apostles and disciples and they immediately commenced the Kingdom cause, work and warfare in the Gospel at Jerusalem as He commanded. Many in Israel were restored. However, as foretold by the Lord, within forty years Jerusalem and its second Temple were destroyed and the people scattered to the nations because the majority that included religious leaders, rejected the Gospel. This ended the third quarter. From His throne in glory, the King continued to oversee, direct and give revelation to the work and warfare of His cause through His apostles as the fourth and final quarter opened.
In spite of great opposition, persecution and adversity from Satan and the world system he rules especially in the first three hundred years, many were restored among the Gentiles. Indeed, the spread of biblical Christianity on offense along side of Satan’s strategically initiated corrupted religious forms of it was in dominating fashion throughout the whole earth as the centuries rolled by. In fact, at this very hour generically speaking, Christianity is the largest religious group on earth! Even so, after nearly two millennia and now, clear biblical prophetic signs given by Israel’s prophets, the Lord and His 1st century apostles, we are in the final two minutes of the game.
The greatest of these signs has been the return of the Jews to their ancient land and the re-establishment of the sovereign nation of Israel in 1948. On cue, Satan’s team of demons and deceived mortals went on offense and launched another hateful uptick in violent hostility toward Jews and the Jewish nation (Hitler’s Holocaust had only ended three years before its rebirth). Also, violent persecution of Christians and destruction of church property was intensified until now, it has reached unprecedented proportions especially in non-Western lands. But from all societal sectors in the West too, enmity toward biblical Christianity and all the religious forms retaining its morality is increasing; riding on the foretold rising tide of rebellion that mushroomed in the 1960s (Psalm 2:1-3).
Truly, while here in America the 2016 national election swept an administration into power friendly toward Christianity, this will prove to only be a temporary interruption to what has been the openly aggressive trend to squash its historic influence on the nation. Governments at all levels across the land as supposedly non-partial referees defiantly side with those in education, business, the culture, media and all rebels against the divine order and biblical morality. Siding with them too are many professed Christians who name their faithful, ostensible brethren as being among society’s “deplorables.” In the face of this massive, evil offensive drive, the freshly revived are to join already faithful Christian men laboring to restore men; persevering and standing firm on defense against it!2
2 Our defense is not about attempting to preserve Christianity’s historic dominant influence, values or morality in our nation or world. We are to focus on calling men to re- pentance and faith in the biblical Gospel for salvation as the King’s charge while ourselves holding to all He commands in His Word to the death!
