HEY MIKE! What defines a man of God?
—C.S., Spartanburg, S.C.
Great question!
Here’s the ultimate example of manhood: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:5-8).
Being a man isn’t grounded on physical strength, athletic ability, Hollywood “hunkiness” or how attractive you are to girls.
A real man . . .
. . . serves others.
. . . shows kindness and compassion.
. . . walks with honor and integrity.
. . . pursues purity in word and deed.
. . . lives courageously for Christ.
. . . loves God with all his heart, mind and soul.
