What is an Authentic Man

After 24 weeks we completed the Men's Fraternity this morning and I definitely feel that I am better for it. We learned a lot about how we, as men, are wired. But the question has been answered "what is a man and what defines him?" This question seems very easy at first glance, but when you think about it, it really can stump you. I'm sure the women have been wondering this for years.

Through Dr. Robert Lewis and the study he has put together we learned and I would like to share it with you. It is very simple and makes perfect sense. Here you go:
A real man from a biblical mold is one who
  • Rejects Passivity
  • Accepts Responsibility
  • Leads Courageously
  • Expects the Greater Reward, God's Reward!

Those are not very hard requirements, but they do take some training and work. I am thankful for the opportunity to go through this study with some men from the church and I embrace the above challenge toward becoming an authentic man of God.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
