Men of God

I know it's late, but i have something on my mind that I don't want to lose. I recently heard a song by Casting Crowns called Courageous, it's new and named after a Christian police movie coming out later this year. If you haven't heard it, I advise you do. It really makes me want to be a man of God, not a man with God, but a fearless man who follows the Lord with his whole heart, is not afraid of sacrificing himself to save others. I've always had a dream of living in the middle ages and being a blacksmith and also a warrior type guy that would be epic and manly. However impossible that may be, it'd be awesome. That being said, men have become pansies in our generation. It's true, anyone who denies that is an idiot. Men don't stick up for morals, what's right, and what they believe in. Christian men are no different. Personally, I don't like confrontation, I like avoiding making people angry, and try to please everyone. That's not the type of man I feel God wants me to be, I need to stick up for what's right no matter what it does to my ego, my image or anything. Men are supposed to be courageous, to protect women and children from the evil around them, to be family men who serve the Lord. No matter what you do, you can be a man of God. Whether it's an office job or being blacksmith, you can be a man for God. Man up men! Be strong in the Lord to be able to lead the weak and give young boys good examples and role models! Don't be afraid to fight for God. No matter where it leads. Be men, men. But not just men, be men of God!
