Men in the Word 2025

September 5 & 6, 2025

Weekend Summary

Our fifth annual Men in the Word weekend Bible study took place in Round Rock, Texas.

Theme: “Stand Firm – Principles for Spiritual Self-Defense”

Peter’s description of the devil as a roaring and prowling lion (1 Peter 5:8-9) is intended to communicate the imminent danger Satan presents to us as Christians. No matter who we are or what our background may be, Satan has put us in his crosshairs and will take whatever ground we will give him. In that same context, Peter’s instruction is to “resist him, firm in your faith.”

We are at war! It is in this same vein which Paul writes in Ephesians 6:10-13:
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm – stand firm, therefore.”

The focus of this year’s Men in the Word weekend was how Christian men can embrace biblical principles for defending ourselves against the attacks of Satan, temptation, and sin.

As always, my prayer is that this study was both encouraging and challenging for all who attended.

Grace be with you,
