Leadership is an amazing position of responsibility. As a man, you are created with purpose to be a leader. You are responsible to lead your family and often to be a leader at work or in the community. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived gives some very challenging insight into four qualities of a leader. His advise is priceless.

Father, you cannot underestimate the power of the words that you speak over your children. As a father, your words can have the power of life and death.

A society is judged by its treatment of those on the margins – the youngest and the oldest among us. One of the passions of a FivestarMan is to be gallant in relationships, which means an authentic man is heroic in the defense of the weak.

Getting your prayers answered may seem to be a mysterious and random task, but did you know that God warns the relationship that man has with his wife has a direct effect upon the ability to see answered prayers?

When facing a tragedy like the Haitian earthquake we must check ourselves before we respond out of ignorance. Jesus’ response to tragedy can serve as a lesson. Jesus is teaching that if we are not careful, we can think a tragedy is a targeted judgment of sin, when in fact; ALL tragedy is a result of the fallen world. The earth is groaning as in birth pains awaiting the redemptive work of God (Romans 8).
