Pallbearers

I once heard a great definition of a friendless man: "He has to buy tomatoes and zuchini all summer."

Loneliness is endemic to men, and epidemic in this culture. There's a crying ache for community and intimacy. This is one of the most powerful entry points to share the gospel with men in our culture.

Much has been written about Ronald Reagan these past five days. It's encouraging to think about how much God can use just one man to accomplish good.

Consider your own death (which is coming). Who will be your pallbearers? Who are your buddies? Who will relish the privilege of carrying your body in honor? What can you be doing to build up your buddies today?
