Most men wouldn't readily describe themselves as afraid of anything. But when asked to honestly reflect on what's going on deep in their hearts, most will confide that there is a fear of being seen as inadequate that rules much of their decision making in their lives, because what a man fears becomes his master.
Women struggle with core fears different than men. A few of the unsettling fears that grip a woman's heart are: "Will any one see me? Am I beautiful? Will I ever feel secure?" Addressing the core terror of a woman's heart is vital for her to experience the joy and freedom in being a woman created in God's image.
Most men wonder if they have what it takes to meet the challenges of living as a man. Inadequacy is every man's battle. And no where is that battle more acute than in his relationships. Facing that core terror every day requires courage.
We live in a world where what was once considered immoral is now accepted as somewhat normal sexual behavior. An even more alarming fact is that affairs, and sexual promiscuity like "hooking up" are also becoming prevalent within the church. What is going on that has give rise to these shifts in values and behaviors?
Modesty is a forgotten concept in our day and age when flaunting one's sexuality seems to be what's expected. But modesty goes beyond merely not dressing in ways that are sexually provocative. Relating to others in ways that are sexually manipulative can also be classified as being immodest.
What we often describe as falling in love is more often than not lust instead of love. Lust has a demand behind it that requires another person make me feel good about being me. Conversely, love is measure in one's willingness to sacrifice for the well-being of the other.
There are probably more songs, films, T.V. shows, and books written about love than any other topic, and yet, the number of marriages that last a lifetime are fewer and fewer every year. Why do we talk so much about love and yet know so little about true love? The answer may lie in reexamining our understanding of love.
Femininity has become so distorted that many women (and men) are confused about what it means to be a woman. Silly stereotypes are not the essence for true femininity. It's the inner beauty of a woman's soul where her real essence resides.
Most men are not naturally reflective. Maybe that's why men don't often ask what it means to be a man. But when they are honest with themselves, most men struggle with feelings of inadequacy, of not knowing what to do when faced with some form of chaos. And when men don't know what to do, they retreat, disappear and go silent.
Sexual promiscuity seems to be the expected norm for teens and single adults in today's world. That kind of culture presents unique challenges for Christians who are trying to live consistent with biblical standards in spite of the pressures to be sexually active.
