Becoming a God's Man in a Challenging World
The title of today's message might sound perplexing, particularly given our current social climate's emphasis on adopting new pronouns and identities. However, I assure you, the message I'm about to share ventures into a different realm.
This message is a call to action: Stop being just a "man's man" and start being a "God's man."
At Wingman Nation, we uphold a life verse that guides us in understanding what it means to be a God's man. Are you ready to explore this further? Let's dive in.
Our guiding scripture is from 1 Corinthians 16, verses 13-14:
"Be on guard." Why, you might ask? Gentlemen, we face daily attacks. Satan employs every tool at his disposal to tempt us away from living for God. He aims to cause strife in our marriages, disrupt our families, and distance us from Godly pursuits.
"Stand firm." It's crucial to understand that we cannot simply rely on our feelings or personal beliefs. We must stand firm in God's teachings. This means not only reading but also implementing His word in our lives.
"Be brave, strong, and men of courage." It's time for us to mature. We are adult men called to act like Godly men. This involves fighting for our families and God's principles in this world. The era of excuses is over. Our world is currently overshadowed by a wave of 'wokeness' that we must confront with strength and conviction.
Why? Because weakness often leads to surrender.
Finally, "Do everything in Love." This is pivotal. God is love, and we are to mirror His example in all our actions. Whether it's how we speak, how we act, or how we conduct ourselves in every facet of our lives, it should all be imbued with love.
Being tough and rugged as a "Man's man" is acceptable, but it must align with the higher calling of being God's man.
Embracing this identity doesn't just redefine our actions; it transforms our hearts, our families, and ultimately, the world around us. Let's commit to this journey together, with God as our guide and love as our constant companion.
