I had a few questions about it though. As in becoming a man, are we required to take on the "Marks of manhood", or is it a choice ourselves we have to make? Also, does becoming a man require us to wear the armor of god. Are we required to do that too? Or is that too a choice that we make ourselves? I do believe that we are fighting spiritual battles, but who is the enemy. I read in an earlier comment that sayed we get in the way of ourselves sometimes, so is our enemy the devil, or is it ourselves? Do we get in the way of ourselves sometimes, or is it just the devil? Speaking of Satan, is he our real enemy. I do believe he is, but i also believe that our own souls can be a problem. Do our minds and souls sometimes join in on Satan's side and that is what causes anger? What is anger, and where does it come from. Is it from us, the devil, or is it from both of them. Do our minds and soulds turn against them, or is it just the devil. We may never find out the answer to that question, but we can do other things to see what our minds are doing. If you see an oppurtunity, does you mind tell you to take it, or to not. If you are taking it, i believe that the devil is working against you trying to get you to turn away from God. This has helped me become more of a man. Thank you so much!!!! I loved this article. I had a few questions about it though.

Furthermore, where is man to develop such characteristics? The man is here pictured as mostly autonomous and capable of achieving these things apart from a community of likeminded characters. The points made about commitment to wife and children are really good. However, there seems to be a correlation between American 1950s manhood and biblical manhood in the assertions about being active in society, committing to a long term career that gives you enough money to sustain your family. I think there could be some more discussion about what 'economic' maturity actual means, because if it merely learning how to operate within the constructs of American economics then I think Christian men have not risen to the challenge of naming powers and deconstructing oppressors.

I have 2 sons who I am raising alone not by choice I might add. Their father has completly abandoned them and words cannot express the pain that I feel on their behalf for making such a poor choice. I do believe that GOd can protect and redeem the widow and the fatherless. But I am so gladd to have come across this article as my boys are entering the preteen and teen years.
