What It Means to Be Godly Men

Sad but true, nowadays real men are rare and real Godly men are even rarer. In my opinion, a Godly man...
- fears God, not men
- submits to Christ as his ultimate authority
- stands firm on the Word of God and displays discernment
- is a doer of the Word, not just hearer and knower
- stands up for what he believes in and for what is right
- is not afraid to admit when he is wrong
- leads with a servant's heart
- is the provider and protector of his family
- is responsible
- is honest and trustworthy
- is hard-working and diligent
- is patient
- strives for righteousness, Godliness, holiness, and pleasing the Lord, instead of power, fame, happiness, and wealth
- perseveres through trials in spite of pain, sufferings, and adversity
- dies to self and lives in Christ
- is respectful to others and puts others above himself
- is faithful in big things and small things
- is courageous
- does not whine
- sees the needs of others and tries his best to meet those needs
- protects the weak, gives to the poor, helps the needy, gives up his comfort to bring comfort to others
- gives, serves, sacrifices without expecting anything in return
- has no reason to despair because he knows Who is in control
- is content because he knows he's complete in Christ
- purposely avoids temptations and immediately takes the way out that God provides
- is kind, compassionate, loving, and forgiving
- is polite and courteous
- is not discouraged by failures but sees them as an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve
- is just and fair
- is active, useful, resourceful, and productive
- draws people to God by the way he lives, acts, talks, treats others
- keeps doing good and glorifying the Lord even when he is falsely accused, misunderstood, mistreated, persecuted, etc.
- overcomes fears (fears may still be there but he moves forward in spite of them) by trusting and relying totally on God
- is a prayer warrior

"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study.  I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
