My Chains Fell Off; My Heart Was Free - (Man Talk)

Hey guys:
Let's go! 4 months later, and a few reasons why I haven't posted recently - biggest one being a feeling that I had lost the words originally put in my heart to share with you (and when I write without passion and His leading, it never comes out right).
With God's grace, let's rock this series together. This is meant to be a discussion - I want your thoughts. Hopefully this series is challenging, brings us closer as men that follow Christ and most importantly makes us more like Christ and more like the MEN that He wants us to be.

The point of the title is from a song that two good friends of mine recently gave me; here is some of it:
You washed my sin and shame away Slate is clean; a brand new day Free now forever Now boldly I approach your throne to claim this crown through Christ my own Yours Now Forever...

Nothing's gonna hold me back...no nothing's gonna hold me back... My chains fell off, my heart was free I'm alive to live for you! I'm alive to live for you! Amazing love how can it be? You gave everything for me, you gave everything for me!

And that is the basis for almost everything that we're going to dive into. Free to live, free to give, free to be, free to love Him, our chains have fallen off! That is the life we are promised through Christ!

Set down the Xbox controller, and turn off the football game, put on your armor, grab your sword and let's see what the Lord does through us to shake the kingdom of darkness that wants nothing but destruction for us...

BATTLE CRY!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
