What Is A Real Man?

What Is A Real Man?  (June 16, 2024)

1Cor. 16:13  Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, ACT LIKE MEN, be strong.

In our present culture…

• Suicide is the leading cause of death among men under 50
• 75-80% of suicides are men
• Every 24 hours 105 men self delete
• Plummeting marriage rates by 2030 will see 40-50% of women childless and unmarried

Under the paradigm of modern culture, the Masculine Man is the most hated and endangered of all people.  Men are being systematically hollowed out and replaced with insecure, effete beings, reformatted as social drones.

 

Because under a society of Real Men evil concepts, like Gender Fluidity, Borderless Globalism, and the Cult of Climate Change, could never become ruling norms.

 

Thereore Real Men are being branded as Toxic and marginalized, so these ideologies can gain enough power to prep the world for the Antichrist.

 

It’s time to resurrect the Charter of Real Manhood.  Here are 7 characteristics of Real Men…

1. The Man of God — He understands Authority

Matt. 8:8-10 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof! Instead, just say the word and my servant will be healed.  For I ALSO am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”  When Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!

The Real Man doesn’t have to be a Christian to understand life as a Chain of Command.  He understands there are morals and values higher than himself, from which he derives his own authority in life.  And he lives to be Approved by that Higher Ruler.  (Dad wore the Uniform)

 

2. The Man of Faith — His Motivation is Intrinsic

A real man is first the leader of himself.  He may be enlightened and encouraged by things he learns in life, but he’s not dependent upon acceptance & approval from without in order to act.   The Real Man ultimately lives by the Faith within himself.

John 7:38  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”

In God’s design for the Real Man life flows out, not in.

 

3. The  Man of Family — He Understands Priority

Gen. 18:17-19 The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?  For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”

The Real Man is not simply a man with a family, he’s a Man of Family.  Family is the 1^st Circle of Priority in the world of The Real Man. It’s the home base of his life.  (Dad became the Blizzard Shield)

 

4. The Man Among Men — He has Clarity about Nature

1Cor. 16:13  Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, ACT LIKE MEN, be strong.

The Real Man has a natural unbreakable bond with masculinity.  He’s highly motivated by the inner compulsion to Be a Man.  He’s at home in the company of men. 

The thought of his masculinity being threatened is completely foreign to him.  He is never ashamed of being kind, empathetic, or gentle.

Real Man clearly see that the problem with Nature is not Gender, but Sin.

 

5. The Man of Love & Hate — He’s Balanced

Heb. 1:9 You LOVE justice and HATE evil.  Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”

Love and Hate do not exist apart from each other.  They are defined by what is precious and what is abominable to God.

Prov. 6:16-19  There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift to run to evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who spreads discord among family members.

The Real Man is balanced with a healthy ability to Love and Hate appropriately, without being drawn into sin or intimidated into inaction.  He knows the right way to navigate all challenges.

 

6. The Man of Appropriate Action —  He Acts with Judgment

2 great examples from the Perfect Real Man…

Example #1

John 8:10-11 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”  She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

The Real Man knows when judgment calls for Mercy and Truth.  In this case, Jesus saw the power of sin pressing down upon the woman’s weakness.

 

Example #2

Luke 19:45-46  Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices.  He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”

Jesus made sure those who fled understood He didn’t hate them, but what they did. 

The Real Man knows when judgment calls for action that brings shame to the offense.  In this case, Jesus saw the power of sin flowing out of the money-changers, taking advantage of others’ weakness and in disregard for God.

 

7. The Man of Thanksgiving —  He lives with Gratitude

Psa. 92:1 It is a GOOD THING to give thanks unto the LORD

The Real Man, no matter how harsh his circumstances, knows that Good Things follow Thanksgiving, because his Treasure is in God.

 

So the Real Man is…

 

A Man of God

A Man of Faith

A Man of Family

A Man Among Men

A Man of Love & Hate

A Man of Appropriate Action

A Man of Thanksgiving
