True Manhood; Biblical Manhood, is an entirely different standard, that in
today’s society, our men are rarely being taught. It starts in the home and in too many cases there is no man in the home to teach the principals of biblical
manhood. Our young men are certainly not going to be taught these
principals in our schools or from our increasingly lacking society! We need
more male role models for these boys, before the future generation of men
becomes completely unrecognizable from the original standard of a biblical man.
Today, you see men pointing blame on others and not taking
responsibility for themselves or their choices. We see an increased adolescence
in young adult men, fueled by selfishness and role confusion. Narcissism among men (women too) is at
an all-time high; many men today are so concerned with appearance and being the
“cool guy” that they can’t get out of the mirror, when what they really need to
do is point the mirror at their heart and realize that they need a transplant;
a change of heart, not a new woman, flashy wardrobe, or an expensive car to
determine their worth; a man’s worth should be evident by WHO HE IS IN CHRIST
not who he is in a Porsche, Ralph Lauren, or the next "notch on his belt".
- Pride: Men you
are not always right, it’s ok to take direction, admit fault and grow!
- Sexual temptations: Immodest women don’t make it easy these
days; but regardless, God is clear to cherish women as sisters in Christ
and it is our humble responsibility to look at women through the lens of
our Creator!
- Anger: Squash
it! It’s just not worth it; the joy of the Lord is within you. Holding onto anger blocks out room for
Love.
- Envy: You’ve got
Jesus homie, what could you possibly be envious of? That new car, those new shoes, that high
salary, that new TV, or going from woman to woman; it’s time to realize that these are all
roads that lead to false fulfillment.
Jesus is the only one who can fulfill your soul!
- Relationships:
Listen fellas, women are not objects to command and
conquer. They are beautiful gifts
to us, to be loved and cherished, to be respected and valued. You aren’t doing that when you take
advantage of them or sex her up before you wife her up. Commitment isn’t for a night; it’s for
life bro!
- Humility: Get on
your knees, humble yourself. Repent,
give it all to God, seek His forgiveness; admit you are fallen and in need
of Him!
It’s time to MAN UP!!
