Act Like Men

A society led by weak men will not be a society for long. Be it the family, church, or state, these societies are living organisms that must be guarded and governed by the faithful sons of Adam. Paul’s directives are straightforward, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong” (1 Corinthians 6:13). Fathers, it is your duty to watch your family, to watch our community, to know what evils assail the things that we love. And when you identify those evils, it is your duty to stand there, unmoving, to act like a man and meet those evils with the strength God has given you.

Our country and culture is steeped in effeminacy and we would be foolish to think that the plague of soft men has not crept in among us. It takes strength to pray. It takes strength to obtain wisdom. It takes strength to love, to govern with patience and understanding, to provide for a family. So take an honest assessment of where you have been lazy, or soft, or complaining. And take an honest assessment of what needs to be done that you have left undone. Confess that before the Lord, and ask Him for strength to rectify the situation.
