I think that there are very few men nowadays that could live up to that standard. I can only think of two or three that come very close to qualifying.

Hmmm, well, i think each blog should not be declared specifically for a “man” and for a “woman”–but simply for both. Why shouldn’t a woman also “take leadership in a self-sacrificing way”; why shouldn’t a man also be “quiet” sometimes? I think each gender can take from each description.

This is such an awesome reminder. Definitely putting it on the wall. Praise God! And Happy New Year’s Eve- sounds like a good resolution;)

Wow this is such a great list. Girls we need to really be praying for our guy friends and Guys you need to be praying for your girl friends, because it can be so hard to be a leader in this world. dont believe the lie that you as an individual dont make a difference in the world, because WE DO.

I was looking through this and I saw a comment by frontiermike I belive, and it said that in our history wherever Christianity and Judaism has gone, womens’ rights have improved. I would like to point out, and not very happily, that this hasn’t exactly been the case. I am an avid history learner, and I have followed Christianity from early European times until now. I have noticed that women did not gain rights until the “enlightened” thinking that came relatively recently (when you consider how long the world has existed). I am a Christian myself, and I am not trying to say that we as Christians oppress women, but I would like to point out that women have not had many rights wherever it went. I am not saying that we are like the Islamic countries, for their oppression of women has been intense in the past, but Christian society has tended to treat woman as a more subservient being to man, even like property (also in the relatively recent past). And sadly to say, these views haven’t been changed by Christian thinking, but by those “enlightened” people. I believe that this is because the Bible is sometimes misinterpreted and has been taken much too literally than it was intended, and that power has been abused by some in the church (as this does happen, we are human and therefore sin). But the main point is, no it is not correct to say that where Christianity went, women’s rights followed. I know this doesn’t really have to do with the topic of the article, but I thought it was necessary to comment on that comment.

Wow. It really makes me redefine all the ’silly’ little things that I (and many girls I know) always thought were important in a man. Whether he was handsome or organized (I confess— I’m a total organize freak!)… looking at this list makes me re-realize that it’s the heart that matters. His character, his love of God. Those are the things that matter. I just want to thank all the young men out there willing to try to be this “real man”. Thank you! With God’s help you can make it!
