Being a man today
Right now it is open season on manhood.
At our worst we men are power hungry, aggressive, self entitled, demeaning and abusive to women, bad role models for our children, addicted to screens and pornography, and we can’t be trusted.
Christian men: wake up and stand up for your families!
Christians have often been at the forefront of social change – from abolishing slavery to setting up schools and even being formative in developing the English law and justice system (so my son’s book on Alfred the Great tells me!).
And there are many great women in the church currently pulling together to get help for a vulnerable sector of society today – a sector that until recently hasn’t been acknowledged by the government, and even now is struggling to get the help it needs.
