Recapping the stages of masculinity, which are all present to some degree at any period in a man’s life, and they all come together to make a whole and holy man.  You are the son of a kind, strong, and engaged Father, a Father wise enough to guide you in the Way, generous enough to provide for your journey, offering to walk with you every step. This is perhaps the hardest thing for us to believe –...

Sage stage (60ish and beyond) — The silver-haired sage steps aside to let younger men carry the load, but he’s sought after for his wisdom and counsel. His kingdom may shrink — the kids have left the house, so that he might move into something smaller. He steps down from his role as president, and his income may shift to savings and investments made while he was king. But his influence ought to in...

King. Whatever we have control over we need to exercise self-control, patient work ethic of service. The LEADER serves and if the LEADER doesn’t they are easily abusing power. God wants to entrust us with His power, kingdom and all his work, but we are often unprepared or unable to take on the pressures of the service HE DESIRES TO GIVE US. A true leader NEVER Lords it over, but Lords it under–fig...

When we hear the word patience, we probably think of the virtue that enables us to wait. That’s one way of looking at it, but Spirit-led patience is also much more. Patience is longsuffering. It involves more than passive waiting; it is active forbearance. It is a deliberate willingness to put up with disagreeable things in pursuit of higher goals.

The fruit of "love" may be the best example. We cannot produce the type of love God desires without the leading and strength of the Holy Spirit. The English word love has a very broad meaning, but the Greek language was very precise. The love which the Holy Spirit manifests in believers is agape. This love is not a feeling, but a choice. It is the choice to be kind, to sacrifice, and to consider a...

The fruit of the Spirit includes a peace that goes beyond that of salvation. It is a sweet relationship. We are called to His presence and called to be confident in that presence because we are His friends ( John 15:15 ).  God’s peace transcends earthly matters. Believers are to be "anxious for nothing," for God promises to "guard your hearts and minds." It is a peace “which transcends all underst...

Gentleness is not so much about our natural personality traits as it is about our attitudes and how we approach others. The fruit of the Spirit is essentially the character of Jesus. The quality of gentleness is the opposite of harshness with others. It is power over one’s Spirit that exudes a response like Jesus.  Questions or comments: info@rediscoveringbiblicalmanhood.com

When we exhibit the kindness of Jesus, we are tender, merciful, benevolent, and useful to others. Every action, every word will have His flavor of grace in it. To maintain this attitude toward those we love is hard enough. To express kindness toward those who are against us requires the work of God Read: 2 Corinthians 6:4-6 Questions or comments: info@rediscoveringbiblicalmanhood.com

For this reason, faithfulness, a fruit of the Spirit, can be a challenging trait to possess. Faithfulness comes from a place of trust and loyalty. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is a confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” As a Christian, it is important to be faithful to God.
