Meditations on Men
I just received a phone call from an 82 year old woman who has been in church nearly her entire life. She was calling in response to the sermon I preached this weekend on men. She said she has hardly ever heard men challenged from the pulpit in that way in all the years she has been in church. The immediate temptation was to feel flattered, but after about 3 seconds I was only frustrated by what she said.
Why have pastors not called men to be men more often? How can one read the Bible and not see how eternally vital it is for men to live out biblical masculinity in this world? O that God would so awaken the men in the church, that the world might see what real men are and get a taste of the goodness of our Heavenly Father.
Mark Driscoll has recently written a short book on what it means to be a Dad. Its only 45 pages, but is quite to the point about the high calling of being a father. You can check it out here: Pastor Dad
