Today we have Charles Grubb from Building Godly Christian Men finishing out the series on True Virtue with an article about true manliness. Charles' goal for his page and as a writer "is to add value to you as a Christian man, and specifically target who and what we need to be as men as spoken through the Bible."
True masculinity. What does that mean? What does it look
like? In the worldly sense, many men think to be a man you have to like cars
and engines, guns, fishing and sports, and if a man doesn’t like those things
then he’s not much of a man. But I know many men who don’t like a lot of those
things. Does that really make them less of a man? Some men think aggressiveness
and fighting makes you a man and you have to be “tough.” On the flip side, the
modern world of late is blurring the lines as far as gender and now we have
gender neutral clothing and bathrooms, and now we have a movement that says a
child can choose their own gender despite how they are born. There are so many
mixed messages and men are being told by the world that the things that makes
us men is not what the world wants us to be anymore. It’s no wonder we are
having a crisis with men and what their roles are and what it means to be a
man. We have fewer role models to teach us.
