Father's Day

Love should be the empowering force that gives you the strength to stand firm in the faith for the Christ that you love. True masculinity is not negligent in watchfulness; wishy-washy in doctrine; not timid against adversaries and certainly not deficient of love. Masculinity is more than how a man should act; it’s an expression of a man’s love. This call to love certainly is not unique to men. Jesus calls both men and women to love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. The question of masculinity (and femininity) gets at how that looks distinctive. For masculinity, the distinguishing feature is self-sacrificing leadership. So then, we can say that Masculinity is gladly assuming sacrificial responsibility.
