Where a man belongs

Don't know about you, but every now and then, I need this kind of a kick in the butt!

"Have you seen the Camel Cigarette billboards—the curly-headed, bronze-faced, muscular macho with the cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth? The sign says, "Where a man belongs."

You know what I pray when I think about that sign? I pray that Bethlehem will be filled with men who, when they see that sign, say, "To hell with such lies!"— men who know that where a man belongs is on his knees beside his wife, leading in prayer.

Where a man belongs is at the bedside of his children, leading in devotion and prayer.

Where a man belongs is in the driver's seat, leading his family to the house of God.

Where a man belongs is up early and alone with God, seeking vision and direction for the family.

Men, I challenge you in the name of Jesus Christ our King, be where you belong!"

- John Piper, from "Jesus is precious as the foundation of the family"
