Shout Out Friday - Church for Men - Florida

About once a week I want to use The Masked Evangel to promote some other blogs of note.

And by the way, if you're not using an RSS (Really Simple Syndication - and no, I'm not kidding; that's what it stands for) feed to organize your blogs, you're wasting precious time. Internet Explorer has made subscribing to your favorite blogs super easy. If you're using IE, at the top right of your screen there is a small orange RSS icon in the tool bar. To subscribe to your favorite blog(s), connect to a blog, and then click on the RSS icon. After that just follow the on-screen instructions.

When you have some time for reading your selected blogs, rather than going to the URL of each individual blog, just open your favorites list (on IE at least that icon is a yellow star at the top left of your screen). There should be three columns: favorites, feeds and history. Select feeds. The names of all your blog subscriptions will be displayed. Any that have new material since you last checked will be in bold print, which means you don't have to waste time checking blogs that haven't been updated.

And if you do subscribe to some blogs, make sure you include The Masked Evangel on your list.

Let's give a shout to Church for Men - Florida. Church for Men (Daytona Beach, FL) just celebrated their one-year anniversary under the able leadership of brothers Louie and Frank Mercer, and their friend Mike Ellis. The guys meet once a month in a gym; there's no dress code, and they keep things simple to connect with men's attention spans. Their services last an hour, including a rock-band, a 15-minute message, and always free food. They decided, Let's try it for three months and see what happens. That was over a year ago.

Their blog includes insightful oiginal content, and they often connect to other blogs for content that impacts men, including stuff that's thought-provoking, or sometimes just plain funny.

Give Church for Men - Florida a try, and let's thank God for a group of guys who were willing to follow the Holy Spirit and try something new.

God, we ask your presence and provision for the guys and ministry at Church for Men. May individual lives, families and communities be changed as a result of what you're doing among them. Amen.
