Men who changed me for the better, Part Two

As men, we are called to be Lion and Lamb. In 2023 America, we are told to be mute and godless or purple haired and rage-filled for the Glorious Revolution. Still, we are men and we learn from other men. This is Part Two of my reflections on men who changed me for the better, two of whom I barely got to meet and one of whom I think on a daily basis. The guy who knocked me cold in a single punch and could have easily ended me; a cab driver so huge I felt like a 5 year-old boy next to him; a teacher who chose to defend my teenage honor against a colleague while showing that fellow-teacher truth wrapped in grace.

What does God say?

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

1 Kings 2:2-4

“I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, that the Lord may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
