A Man's Man

What is the 1st thing you think of when you see "A Man's Man"? Maybe you think of Mr. Universe with his steroid induced biceps (ok im jealous...) Or maybe you think of a Knight from the middle ages in full armor battling evil throughout his dominion. Or maybe you think of a big brawny construction worker who can carry sheets of drywall like paper. The phrase "A Man's Man" will usually conjure up images of a tough fellow who doesn't take anything from anyone, has a shotgun in his truck and drinks his coffee black.
It's true. All of these would be considered Manly in today's culture. But I don't think that it quite right.

Maybe instead of trying to be a Man's Man, we should be a God's Man.
Here are some ideas:
1. Take Responsibly. (Boys make excuses, Men take responsibly)
2. Be a leader
3. Be an example of God at all times: "Rom 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship."
4. Honor Women- This means ALL women. Doesn't matter age, looks, whatever. Honor them. Period.

These are just a few idea that I have mulled over the past few day. I would love to hear other thoughts, opinions, and ideas so please comment!
