True Manliness
“Now the days of David drew nigh that he
should die; and he charged Solomon his son,
saying, I go the way of all the earth: be thou
strong therefore, and show thyself a man” (I
Kings 2: 1, 2).
It is one thing to be a man in size and age,
but altogether another matter to be a real man
in God’s sight. That is what David wanted
Solomon to be.
How can one show himself to really be a
man? Some seem to think it is by showing
how many fights you can win, how many bad
words you can say and how many women you
can have.
Being a real man is far different from this.
Having good understanding is one trait of a
real man. “…in understanding be ye men” (I
Corinthians 14:20). That includes
understanding what the will of the Lord is
(Ephesians 5:17).
Fellows, you need to understand that there
is nothing sissy at all about learning the Lord’s
will and faithfully following it.
That is true manliness.

Steve Kelly, Alicia Smith, Malachi Millard,
Cannon Funderburk and Wade Bryan’s mother,
Linda, are all home recuperating from surgeries.
Lee DuBois’ scan last week was clear. He’ll have to
stay in several more weeks though because his
blood count is extremely low making him
susceptible to everything. Kyle Smith’s dad, Jerry,
will undergo surgery Tuesday to amputate his leg.
His address is on the bulletin board. Candy Miller’s
vision seems to be improving. Brodey Houpt, Kim
Johnson’s grandson, tests were clear of cancer. Judy
