Act Like Men: A Titanic Lesson in Manliness

Churches cannot thrive if there’s not a solid core of men leading them who are Gospel-driven followers of Christ.
When
men are absent, lackadaisical or weak when it comes to God and the
things of God, churches atrophy and eventually die. If men become
ensnared in therapeutic moralism now rampant in many churches, they will
become self-focused rather than living sacrificially for the sake of
others. And churches will atrophy and die.
Among the many distinguishing characteristics of men who live out of
their God-assigned roles and responsibilities are boldness and courage. Godly
men - men of true valor - are supposed to fight for their families, the
gospel, for the weak, innocent and vulnerable who are being threatened
or oppressed by evil and danger.
