Another well-attended morning of Faith, Food & Fellowship. Today's topic looked into what is causing the extinction of the real man in our culture. Distractions that lead to the downfall include (but are not limited to):
- Video games and media
- Missing fathers
- Lack of strong, positive role models
- Lack of true friends
- Sexual temptation/pornography
- Men are too easily pleased with material possesions
In spite of all of these distractions, we still have a model of what it means to be a real man:
Jesus Christ
Through Jesus, we know the following truths:
- Real men prepare themselves in their youth
- Real men work
- Real men respect women
- Real men love kids
- Real men control themselves
- Real men are humble
- Real men pray
Jesus was a leader and also a servant; He was incredibly bold and also lovingly gentle; He worked hard, loved all, and never deviated from His mission. His is the only path to becoming a real man.
