We were finishing up our homegroup the other night when one of the guys asked me, “How many men do you think will be in church on Sunday?”

It’s a good question. After all the Chargers play at 10am–smack dab in the middle of our service.

Not to mention, this season marks the first time in twelve years that the Chargers have won a play-off game. In addition to that they’re playing last season’s SuperBowl champion, the Indianapolis Colts.

That makes Sunday’s game extra special.

So, how many men will be at church on Sunday?

When the stakes are high men show up and the boys stay home.
When there is a duty to be done, men show up and boys stay home.
When there are lives to be saved men show up and boys stay home.
When there is evil to be confronted men show up and boys stay home.
When there are marriages to be saved men show up and boys stay home.
When there is sin to be confessed, hearts to be changed, hope to be given out, hurts to be healed, Satan to be conquered, and ground to be taken men show up and boys stay home.

How many men will be at church on Sunday?

All of them.
