Blogger, writer, and speaker, Matt Walsh, one of the writers for the online publication, theblaze, has recently written this article, providing us with the following 5 ways men should man up and lead their families (see here and here):1) We should never expect more from our wives and our children than we expect from ourselves (be a selfless leader).
2) We should demonstrate moral courage.
3) We should go to church (regularly -- see here) and pray with our families (as well as praying for our family).
4) We should get plenty of exercise (the spiritual kind -- 1 Timothy 4:7-8; Hebrews 5:14)..
5) We should die. As Christ died for the church (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 5:25), we as followers of Christ, should die to self (Philippians 2:1-4; Galations 5:26; James 3:13-18; cf. Galations 2:20).
If we as men, will willingly add the 5 ways that Mr. Walsh enumerates above, to our character and daily living, not only will stronger families be the result, but we can become God's "good man" as well.
