1 Timothy 3:1-7

2. Raising our Boys to become Real Men
1Ti 3:3 NKJV not given to
wine, not violent, not greedy
for money, but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not covetous;

3. Not Given to Wine (Not a drunkard ESV,
No Brawler ASV)
The Greek word literally means
“beside wine.” Basically we are
talking about someone who is
too long at wine or intoxicating
drinks.
ASV translates no brawler, but no
accurate to take away drunk
connotation. Word does have
associated bad behavior resulting
from drink.
Some do act loud and boisterous
like a drunk , that’s not man-like.

4. Not Given to Wine (Not a drunkard ESV,
No Brawler ASV)
The National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) has
recommended that all U.S
states reduce the BAC
threshold for legal
drunkenness down to .05.

7. Not Violent But Gentle (No Striker but
patient KJV)
Literally we mean a bruiser
or someone that is always
ready for a fight. He has a
perpetual chip on his
shoulder.
If we teach our boys to take
nothing from no one, we are
really teaching them the
weak way not the way to act
like a man.
Men we need to be known
for our gentleness.
Isa 53:7 NKJV He was oppressed and
He was afflicted, Yet He opened not
His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the
slaughter, And as a sheep before its
shearers is silent, So He opened not
His mouth.

8. I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the calluses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that I´ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands.

9. Not Greedy for Money (a Lover of Money, ESV)
1Ti 6:9-11 NKJV But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown
men in destruction and perdition. (10) For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in
their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows. (11) But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

10. Not Quarrelsome or Contentious
Greek word amachos – not a fighter
A real man is not a “macho man”.
Some people anxiously await
something to argue, something to
quarrel over.
Real man love peace.
Oh, NO!!!

11. Mat 5:9 NKJV Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called
sons of God.
Rom 14:19 NKJV Therefore let us pursue the things which make for
peace and the things by which one may edify another.
Heb 12:14-16 NKJV Pursue peace with all people, and holiness,
without which no one will see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest
anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness
springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; (16)
lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one
morsel of food sold his birthright.
Not Quarrelsome or Contentious

12. Rom 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is
honorable in the sight of all. (18) If possible, so far as it depends on
you, live peaceably with all. (19) Beloved, never avenge yourselves,
but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I
will repay, says the Lord." (20) To the contrary, "if your enemy is
hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so
doing you will heap burning coals on his head." (21) Do not be
overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Not Quarrelsome or Contentious
