Started this discussion. Last reply by Scott J. Jan 29. 4 Replies 1 Like

Will replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"Well, I know a lot of secular men, so that's probably close enough... that, and studies masculinity across cultures, informally. _Most_ of what I encounter about masculinity is by nonbelievers. We could certainly discuss what that…"
Vytautas replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"It seems like from the beginning this conversation is pre-ordained to go "secular manhood BAD; Christian manhood GOOD".
Has anyone really explored what secular manhood is? Have we discussed philosophers who were either non-Christian or…"
StaggerLee replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"I've known several people who fret over does God want me to do this or that with my life or in this situation. My personal perspective is that God helps those who help themselves. If I sit and do nothing, waiting for God to do for me, I…"

Todd Serveto replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"Hey, Rob, The Bible says:
3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our…"
Pete Franklin replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"I agree with you in that you are seeking him regardless of the situation. What comes to mind is James 4:13-17: 13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and…"
Rick Stevens replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"As a man that is dedicated to Christ, we should strive to be obedient to His Word (John 14:15). That includes every facet of our lives. From working hard to provide for our families to being the spiritual leader in our homes (Ephesians 5:23). …"
Nathan DeParis replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"I like your point Rob about the "right" decision. I think it's good to want to take action as it is said "the manly thing is being done". I think while doing this we should be ready so if we fall of our horse we reach to God…"
Will replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"I don't know how we know that OP failed to take appropriate action. From the world's perspective, yes. But: did God tell him to get going? or to stay put?
And that may be the question for OP: did God tell you to get…"
Jack Bauer replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"In a way, I'm with your wife on this ...
When you're in a lifeboat enduring a storm -- pray for help and guidance ... but freaking row for shore. You prayed, but forgot to row ... and everybody else in the boat was justifiably…"
Rob Sexton replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"LShieldes, you're absolutely correct. I've certainly been guilty of that mistake. I guess in my most recent situation I was at a point in my life where I had no clear direction, no option that seemed best. And every day…"
"God gave you the ability to make decisions, so that you could make them responsibily or badly. He isn't there to make the decision for you, that is entirely your job. Sitting there waiting for God to tell you what to do means that you…"
Will replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"I'm sorry your wife got out the big guns on such a thing -- that to my mind isn't a problem with how you seek God's guidance, but a marriage problem. I would never threaten to leave my wife because I didn't like her job!…"
Rob Sexton replied to Rob Sexton's discussion Secular Manhood vs Christian Manhood in the group Christian Men"Honestly Shane, if it weren't for my girls and my vows I took in the presence of God, that is most likely what I would do with my life, at this point. I hear their numbers are down, anyway..."

A Poem by some one that I knowTake nothing lightlyBy Bjorn FaknamTake nothing lightly. No vain promise give. Hold your honor tightly, In the one life we live.Do not throw trust away, Whether in you or from you. Live up to it today, In everything you do.Look with respect. Follow honor to the letter. Use the courtesy you expect. Nay, treat them better.No matter what gifts you were given, You are never above yourself. By whatever cause you are driven, Put yourself on the back shelf.Those around…See More

Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Thanks for the advice Sam.
It is interesting that you didn't find the negatives very helpful. The elastic idea is really interesting. I have managed my first reps but what I found was I am taking one arm over the bar before the other, either my…"
Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Yes I agree, unfortunately I don't have anything to record myself with. I managed my first poor quality reps the other day which I am thrilled about but my maximum reps of pull ups has fallen significantly in the process (from 12 - 15 down to…"
Liam S. replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Well "stylish" can mean many things.
Personally, for around $100, I would look at the Seiko 5 series. These are very solid automatic movements (no batteries, but no winding either - if you wear them). They are built well, and there is a…"
