For a serious change for the better to happen in the world, the only feasible way is to start from an individual MAN. The current pitiful state of society (e.g. broken family, divorces, homosexuality, violence, prostitution, pornography, rape, child and wife abuse, addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, computer games etc...) came about because of MEN around the world who refuse to live their lives RESPONSIBLY as a REAL MAN before God! I thought I was living as a REAL MAN all this while until God showed me recently (through a series of books and people) that I fall short of HIS standard in my life as a REAL MAN before Him...

Here are some things that God revealed to me concerning what it takes to be a REAL MAN and what is the behaviour of a CHILDISH man who never grows up...

a REAL MAN is never passive. He does not remain quiet or give in when he is pressurised by others to do what is wrong. He takes the initiative to volunteer, to assist, to give. He is decisive and bold to take the lead. He is a leader who serves and does not wait to be served. He never takes the back seat when it comes to disciplining his children. He teaches them spiritual matters and always initiate to bend the knees and pray for them.

a REAL MAN is responsible. He is accountable to God and people around him for his actions. He may fail but he does not quit! He is a man of his word. He says something, he will keep his promise to fulfill it. He does not give excuses for his wrong doings or mistakes. He admit his mistakes, shoulder the blame and consequences, take courage to apologise and not do it again. He does not lose heart and is committed to the end. He feels and thinks before he do anything. He exercises self control in all things.

a REAL MAN loves unconditionally. He loves and accepts his wife for who she is, not for what she can give or do. He loves even if there is no appreciation or positive response from his wife. He never says the 'D' word (divorce) no matter what. He keeps his marriage vow to remain faithful and loving even to the point of death. He gives generously for the benefit of others, without expecting anything in return.

a REAL MAN expects the greater reward. He does not live for the moment. He lives for a meaningful cause that transcends time (i.e. eternal, not temporal) and does not change. God alone is worthy and qualifies for such a cause. He seeks the approval of God rather than the flattery of man.

a REAL MAN is a gentleman. He shows strength through his meekness, not through his anger. He shepherd others by setting an example, not by ruling over them with a rod of iron. He shows respect and handle women with diginity.

So far in history, who can be our role model?
JESUS CHRIST... and those men who fully surrender themselves to Him and allow Him to lead them in their lives... these are the ones who can make the greatest impact in the lives of others and liberate women to fulfill their destiny in their roles as women... I desire to be such a man, do you?

Sadly, there are still many who live their lives as described below...

a CHILDISH man only want to enjoy the authority but not the accountability. He rather use his authority to spend money/time for his pleasures (e.g. cigars, beer, golf club, prostitution, fanciful gargets) than to be accountable to his family for what he spends. He does not know how to be responsible. He wants the sex but disappear into thin air when the girl gets pregnant. I recently got to know about a girl who had to go for abortion because of her irresponsible boyfriend. He was not even there to accompany her for the abortion and came up with lame excuses that he fainted along the way and was hospitalised!! a CHILDISH man dare not make any decisions. He is afraid to fail or lose face. He always needs to be mothered, even when he is married. He is one of the kids that the wife has to take care of! He always pushes the blame on others when things go wrong. He does not admit his mistakes or shoulder the blame. He live for the moment not for what is eternal. He only wants things to go his way and is unreasonable. He is vulgar and crude. He does not know how to show respect to women. He does not know how to obey and submit to authority.
