Q: What is a Godly man?
What are some characteristics?
If you do a Google search, you'll find very good qualities, important qualities.... But more often than not, very tame qualities.
Many today are trying to neutralize men. Trying to tame men. Using shame as a primary weapon.
This is a topic that I teach on in the discipleship group (Wisdom and Wilderness). As I study mighty men in the Bible I see many qualities that frankly, today's society seems too afraid to embrace.
They were bold, they were a little rowdy, they have courageous faith and faced evil without apologizing.
Men like Ezra, Daniel, Jeremiah, David, Job, etc... There are so many in the Old Testament.
Were they perfect? Nope, but they were absolutely essential.
Even in the NT, beginning with Jesus, I don't see the qualities and lists that are published today aligning with those we are meant to emulate. They're watered down and carry a reduced potency.
So, in your opinion, what are some characteristics of a Godly man? And why aren't we seeing more men walking in those characteristics?
