Too much testosterone?
by Jonathan Oldacre
I think the other guys are on a planning retreat for VFC; hence no Kevin-Shipp-’mandomness’ today!
However, here’s an article by Dr. Mohler on a new ministry called “GodMen.” It’s true that we can’t ignore the clarion call of Scripture to be men of God, but these guys seem to advocate a more, as Mohler puts it, adolescent view of masculinity than a biblical one. You can read the full article here.
Any thoughts guys?
Selfishness: an enemy of Biblical Manhood
posted by Jonathan
Selfishness is an enemy of Biblical Manhood, and guys, I need to grow in being selfless! One of my best friends observed recently that I need to “move from selfishness to servanthood.” What a great way to put it! Christ is the standard for Biblical Masculinity, He laid down His life for others, He was never selfish, and as a man I’m called by grace to emulate His example. The good news is that joy is on the other side of laying down your life. Remember Christ suffered the cross for the joy set before Him (Heb. 12:2).
Josh Harris cites a passage from D.A. Carson’s book “The Cross and Christian Ministry.” Click here to read the post; I think the effect is a stab into the heart of selfishness.
