True Love Waits Series.... (Part 2: The Godly Man)

This day and age, it appears like the gentleman is an endangered species nearly driven to extinction. On the television and movie screens, you see too many men wanting to be a "player" and not enough aiming and desiring to be godly and God-fearing, future husbands and spiritual leaders of their households. I went with some friends to see the movie "Think Like A Man" earlier this year when it came out and the movie further exploits the idea of this lack of the gentlemen breed. Society has almost completely distorted the image of a Man as defined by God, but while the world's standards of a man is changing, it is a relief that God's standards have not changed.  True Love Waits....for the Godly man.


"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way."-Psalms37:23
Women always say "There are no good man left", but that's not true. In order to find this "good man" we must stop looking in the wrong places. The world cannot give you a "good man".The "good man" we seek must first seek God. This "good man" must be delight himself in the way of the Lord. The word delight means that this man finds it pleasurable to do the Will of God. He must desire to be just like His Heavenly Father. Like Father Like Son.This also means the Godly man must be submitted to the authority of God so that he can lead his wife and children according to the ways of God. God is the one that orders His steps, his ambitions, his desires. This type of man, cannot be found at clubs every weekend, drunk with wine, and incoherent. The Lord simply cannot order his steps there.


"But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. " 1 Cor 11:3

No Godly woman will want to put herself under a faulty leadership. As the spiritual leader, he prays with you, and seeks the face of God concerning grave matters. He speaks with wisdom, is slow to anger, patient, and gentle but strong when circumstances call for it. The Godly man has learned to love.Taking after the Father, it is not hard for him to love sacrificially. You don't beg him for love because he readily gives it because he has experienced Christ's Love. This agape love transforms every aspect of his life including his relationships with others, and you.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her"-Eph5:25
He has been told by God to love his wife to the point where if the situation calls for it, he will gladly die for her just as Christ laid down his life for the church. This is Love! The woman is not left guessing " he loves me, he loves me not, he loves...." instead she can rest assured that even if no one else in this world loves her, she can depend on his love. It's the Love this world cannot offer. It's drama-free, stress-free, pain-free. Agape love is unconditional.

True Love Waits for this standard of manhood.  The gentleman is not an extinct species. The men out there pursuing this standard should feel encouraged. You all are swimming against the tide of sin instead of going with the flow and the reward of this is great. Uphold the standards!

Today's Memory Verse (T.M.V)
Psalm 1:1-3

"Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper."
