The Next Generation of Men
THE NEXT GENERATION OF MEN
The target group of mentoring today’s boys will obviously become the next generation of men. The time invested in them will bring about a new legacy for men in our nation. They will become better disciples and servants for God. The will become loving husbands and dedicated fathers. They will expand their influence to their grandchildren and beyond, their churches, communities, and our nation. They will lead, provide and protect. They will become all that God intended them to be, all because of our obedience to God’s generational vision.
Dad the Family Mentor, Dave Simmons:
This process is what parenting is all about: the transfer of civilization from one generation to the next. Parents play the role of teachers, and children play the role of learners. Perhaps a word that describes the whole process is absorption: The new generation absorbs the old one.
Manhood, taped presentation by Dennis Rainy:
Men suffer from two problems:
1. Lack of convictions about what it means to be a man.
2. At a loss to give a generational vision to our sons.
Harold Davis, Champaign, IL
“When an older generation of men does not reach down and call the younger generation up, that generation perishes.”
Psalm 45:16:
Your sons will take the place of your fathers; …
Psalm 24:6:
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
