Moonlight7 View Profile History	Most Men posters on discussion forum are Lead by Holy Spirit liking arguing and degrading Belittling members Beliefs Posted : 29 Apr, 2025 09:34 AM Biblical Article for members viewing A Godly Man CHARACTERISTICS OF A GODLY MAN February 1, 2023 Carl Miller 1 Corinthians, Instruction, The Church As biblical marriages become more and more radical and offensive in the eyes of the world, walking faithfully in them as Christians will be more and more challenging. We considered this in my “Principles of Marriage” sermon from 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 this past Lord’s Day. Satan’s lures are all the more deceptive, the cravings of our flesh all the more bold, the twists and turns of the world all the more confusing, and if we’re not watchful, convincing. The same can be said of being godly men and women, generally speaking. Over the next several weeks, I’m devoting a short series of devotions to what God teaches us we should look like, what’s to be true of the biblical family, what’s to be true of our children and youth as they live and learn the ways of the Lord, for they have duties too. How do you know what it means, what it looks like to be a godly man today? This isn’t just a question for men. Undoubtedly it is for men, as we need to grasp and apply things that must be true of us. This is also a good question for women to ponder as ladies need to know what should be present, and what to look for in a godly man. This is also helpful for boys and young men as they seek to know and grow in what should be true of them. We all know there are a lot of voices that are more than happy to guide you and point you in their direction to answer this question. Who do you listen to? Who do you follow? Remember that just because one may have a cool title, or popular podcast, doesn’t mean they are full of the wisdom and truth you are looking for. We must test all things according to Scripture. Here are six important characteristics of a godly man. Such a man is one who: • Loves and Fears God – A foundational characteristic is that a godly man does what many other men would say is weak and wimpy. He loves the One whose image he bears because He first loved him (1 John 4:19). Though imperfectly this side of glory, he strives to love God with all of his heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37). Contrary to the world, a godly man lives with the fear of God before his eyes (Proverbs 1:8), not the fear of man, and hates evil (Proverbs 8:13). • Seeks to Keep God’s Commandments – Therefore, because of his love and to show his love of Christ, his Lord, a godly man loves His Word and seeks to be faithful in keeping His commandments (John 14:15). He loves all of God’s ways (Psalm 119:128). Whereas there are plenty of men who despise God’s law, ignore it, dismiss it, or otherwise intentionally rebel against it, a godly man has a hearty desire to do God’s will, coupled with a greater fear of displeasing Him than of displeasing the world or his rebellious friends (Romans 7:22). • Has Strength – I’m not referring to a buff, muscular man, although being physically strong is fine and good. But a godly man shows strength in being a man of action. He doesn’t sit passively when action is needed. A godly man takes initiative. He is a man of courage and strength in the face of adversity, criticism, and attacks. A godly man speaks up against sin and defends what is righteous and good. He is a man of prayer (2 Samuel 10:7-12, Proverbs 31:8-9, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 Corinthians 15:58, 1 Peter 5:8-9, Philippians 4:6). • Possesses Humility – A godly man has a characteristic that many may consider strange for “man’s man”. Nonetheless, a manly man is a humble man, who denies himself. He thinks less of himself and more of the interests of others (Philippians 2:4). He seeks to serve others like Christ did (Matthew 20:28), and walk humbly with his God (Micah 6:8). • Has Honor, Integrity, and Purity of Heart – Though it be true that many men do things that are shameful, dishonest, and immoral, and brag about it, this must be far from true for the godly man. He seeks to practice in his own life, and promote to others what is right when no one else is watching. He seeks to do what is just and pure in the eyes and ways of God (Philippians 4:8-9). • Bears the Fruit of the Spirit – A godly man shows himself to be different from the world in his display of fruit like patience, love, mercy, and kindness among the others (Galatians 5:16-26, 2 Samuel 16:10).

My response: Your topics are often meant to convince people of untruths. What lunarlite said: "You not interested in any of my Bible topics/ articles." My response: Nobody's interested in your topics but they often still need a response in an attempt to set the story straight. What lunarlite said: You run wherever there's a disagreement of some kind. My response: Who runs? What lunarlite said: Noticed on site My response: Have you not noticed that almost nobody's interested in the blather that you spew? If it wasn't for LittleDavid trying to teach you about scripture than it's likely nobody else would even show they cared. I don't even care enough to try and teach you scripture anymore. Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Most Men posters on discussion forum are Lead by Holy Spirit liking arguing and degrading Belittling members Beliefs Posted : 9 May, 2025 08:14 AM Moonlight, if you’re not interested in chatting with me about providing evidence for your claims and for the universalism you seem to support in recognizing all religious orders that simply toss around the name “Christian” then I would be very interested in chatting with your “PhD teacher or teachers” of whom you say teach you the stuff that you believe. For some reason you don’t want to communicate all the high level information they’ve taught you. Just think, your PhD teachers must have so much knowledge and experience that they could probably shut down any opposition that comes your way 😃 Post Reply

Handyman62 View Profile History	Most Men posters on discussion forum are Lead by Holy Spirit liking arguing and degrading Belittling members Beliefs Posted : 9 May, 2025 10:58 AM Lunarshadow I continue to find it disturbing that you are trying so hard to be relevant on here. It hasn't escaped my notice that you spend a lot of time trying to make your post look popular. You post multiple times in your own forums and repeatedly visit them to run up the views in an effort to again, look popular. Why would you do that? Since you claim to be a Christian why not devote all that time you waste here into something more benevolent like helping out at a soup kitchen? Or perhaps there's something at a Church where you could devote some of your time. Like maybe helping out in the nursery during Sunday services? There are many possibilities other than trying to be relevant here where there's no way that's going to happen. Nobody here is likely to be relevant and no matter how hard you try you're not going to be a big fish in this small pond and why would anybody want to? Post Reply
