“Be a man” is a statement that you hear often in our culture today. Usually this phrase expresses the idea of being a partying, sports fanatic, tough guy that is in control of his life and does what he wants to do.
In reality, the world has it all messed up. Paul indeed told Christian men to act like men and we read that Israel’s men were told, “Be strong, threrefore, and prove yourself a man” (I Kings 2:1-4). But these passage don’t speak of some macho man. No indeed they speak of men that are surrendered to the Lord and find their greatest strength in their weaknesses. These are men that still have compassion, like our Lord. Who love their spouse and seek to raise up their children in the way of the Lord.
I am the first one there when it comes to Monday night football and a camping and fishing trip, but there is more to being a man than these things.
From March 27th – 29th we will be having a meeting at the church on biblical manhood with Fredric Gray. We will be dealing with the following subjects:
March 27th – 7:00 pm – Lesson From Creation

Join us for these studies and learn how to be a man of God.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
