MATURE MASCULINITY

"AT THE HEART OF MATURE MASCULINITY IS A SENSE OF BENEVOLENT RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD, PROVIDE FOR AND PROTECT WOMEN IN WAYS APPROPRIATE TO A MAN’S DIFFERING RELATIONSHIPS."

~ from "RECOVERING BIBLICAL MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD"

Read this today and I was wondering ... about the following things:
1. Even before leading woman, if there are adequate opportunities for every man to lead others ?
2. Is this the more important issue - that there might a lack of guys rising to the call of biblical manhood ?
3. Is topic of biblical manhood poorly covered in my church, causing something undesirable outcomes (e.g. not-so-godly fathers groomed)

The church exists to nurture the believers of the next generation and perhaps the downfall happens when the previous generation followed Christ half-heartedly or absent-mindedly. This hit me as a strong reminder as I thought about every father in church should be a godly father - being a role model to his children and other children.
