THE CHRISTIANRESPONSE TOLIFE’S CHALLENGES

WISDOM

contentsASK Magazine is a christian publication that targets men ages 18 and older with the good news of the gospel and the way it should be applied to their lives to gain maximum effectiveness in their mar-riages, family, home, business, office and social interaction with others.

ASK is an acronym from Luke 11:9 which says Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. The in-tent of this publication is to provide help to all men whether here in Barbados or abroad with a vehicle that answers the hard questions of life and also pro-vide a forum for discussion about their walk with Christ amidst life’s storms. It’s also designed to help encourage men to be, and return to their rightful place in this world as having dominion over all that God made whether physical or spiritual.

We will cater for the whole man, his physical needs, intellectual endeavours, his emotional state and his social activities all within the framework of devel-oping a model that honours God, finding self and creating a role model for the next generation.

Our Mission

To deliver the gospel, the good news as it was origi-nally intended that Jesus the Christ came to rees-tablish communion between God and man through demonstration of his power. By this same gospel we intend to build the church, where Jesus is the head and we are all members, by engaging all men in their marital, family, business and social responsi-bilities and in so doing, to love all unconditionally without prejudice or condemnation.

editorial noteReferences are always made and quotes re-ferred to as a person makes an argument so as to quantify and qualify a position, this issue does just that. These are simple nug-gets that we as men can apply to our every day lives.

Simplicity is the best teacher.

If a man is a fool, you don’t train him out of

being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times

more dangerous. ~Desmond Bagley
