Five things I've told my son about manhood and masculinity:

1 Fear God, not men (Proverbs 1:7).

2 Take responsibility before you take authority (Lk. 16:10). 

3 Strength is for protection, not domination (1 Cor. 16:13). 

4 Your word is your reputation—keep it (Matthew 5:37). 

5 Real men pursue holiness, not applause (1 Peter 1:15–16)
