TrueU.org | Men’s Hall: Welcome to the Men’s Hall: Sacred Masculinity

Given that I believe that men and women were created the way they are on purpose, I would say that we need to start with the Creator, the God revealed in the Bible. I know this seems oversimplified, but many times, our descriptions of God suffer from the same shortcomings as our descriptions of “real men”; that is, it is easy to see the qualities that we like most about ourselves as the primary qualities of God. To try and correct this, we need to be careful to listen to the way that God speaks of Himself. If we use our individual experiences to begin our discussions, we will fall into the trap of standardizing our lives.
