And it doesn't involve free weights or cologne. The world says all sorts of things about what masculinity is, but the Bible says something quite different. God gave men responsibilities that are distinct from those He gave to women. True men rejoice in their responsibilities to care for others, to sacrifice themselves for the ones they love, and to provide for their families. Man Up! cuts through all the noise of the world and goes back to what our Creator says about being a man in His creation. It isn't about taking down the feminists or reclaiming your rights as a man. It's about living in the example and grace of Jesus. Join author Jeffrey Hemmer on his quest to be a better man. The road is long and challenging, and society will try to tell you that you're wrong-but you follow the Man who is the perfect example for manliness in a self-indulgent, self-centered society. So fix your eyes on the Man up on the cross and embark on a journey to become more masculine (no weight lifting required). Book jacket. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

"In the City of the Same, diversity of people with uniformity of thinking is the only decree." Page 76
On page 104, I enjoyed the illustration from a Latin Bible which said in the margin, "Hic Genuflectitur," when the book of John said, "The Word became flesh."
"The following tale is told about a coarse and and brutal lout. While the words "And was made man" were being sung in church, he remained standing, neither genuflecting nor removing his hat. He showed no reverence, but just stood there like a clod. All the others dropped to their knees when the Nicene Creed was prayed and chanted devoutly. Then the devil stepped up to him and hit him so hard it made his head spin. He cursed him gruesomely and said: "May hell consume you, you boorish ass! If God had become an angel like me and the congregation sang, "God was made an angel," I would bend not only my knees but my whole body to the ground! Yes, I would crawl ten ells down to the ground. And you vile human creature, you stand there like a stick or a stone. You hear that God did not become an angel but a man like you, and you stand there like a stick of wood!" LW 22:105
"The belly is relatively easy to discipline, but it's the gateway to the body's other desires. Especially for men, learning that the belly is not your god through fasting is a stepping stone on the path to learning that neither are your reproductive organs in control of you. In many ways, disordered hunger is no different from lust, disordered sexual desire." Page 271.
Lies people believe:
God rewards you for being good.
A woman is only as valuable as her beauty, or worse, her sex appeal.
If you work hard, you can do anything you want.
The child growing inside your wife's womb is not a living person worthy of protection.
God wants you to be happy.
Sex is a commodity that can be traded or sold.
Marriage isn't forever.
Children are a burden.
There is no absolute truth.
Boys and girls should be treated the same page 274-5
