Real Men

"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)

If you don't play pickleball, you may misconstrue the logo on superman's T-shirt: "Real men stay out of the kitchen." (In pickleball, "the kitchen" is the no-volley zone.)

Two thousand years ago, the Apostle Paul's T-shirt may have read: "Real men stand strong with Jesus." He closed his first letter to the Corinthians with these to-the-point instructions:

1. Be on watch.

2. Stand your ground to keep the faith, adhering to God's Gospel, His wisdom, and His revelation, even unto death. 

3. Be strong and act courageous.

The Matthew Henry Commentary reads: "Christians should be manly and firm in their contests with their enemies, in defending their faith, and maintaining their integrity."

O men of God, in these rebellious days, stand strong with Jesus (and stay out of the kitchen when you're playing pickleball).
