I know this is super late, but let me start by thanking the person who pushed me over the top in Movember, and helped be beat AJ the Wonderdog - you know you who are! Thanks!
So I saw the movie Courageous at Bradford Alliance Church yesterday, second time I've seen this flick... If you haven't see it, I definitely recommend you check it out. As you probably know by now, it's a movie that has a great message for guys, and particularly for fathers.
But more than just that, I think TODAY, in our day and age, it is especially applicable. For the past few years I have been of the view that men have lost their place in society. That men are often looked down on and can be regarded as - for lack of better words - incompetent and even dumb. Don't believe me? Check out almost any commercial on TV, or the father figure in TV shows. Most of them look pretty bad.
So at a time like this, perhaps a movie like Courageous is even that much more important - to help men find their place again. Biblically speaking, that's at the head of the family, being a man of integrity, and leading his wife and kids in the way God has outlined.
I was inspired. I hope you are too. Let's be those men.

Hey Tim,
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing post! I was actually thinking about this today, so it's weird that I then came here and read this. I believe Satan has slowly but surely been encouraging/changing our society (as we've been allowing him) into exactly what you've described, and now we have men and women BOTH who have lost the place where God wants them to be.
May I encourage any women who read this that if we want our husbands to become godly spiritual leaders of our homes we need to first of all pray for them, and then submit (yes, I believe this is still as relevant today as it is for the men to lead - how can they lead otherwise?!) and honour them the way God intends for us!
Thanks for speaking out, Tim - you have the Word of God 100% behind you!
