Finding This Type of Christian Man will Benefit You, Part II: By Jessica and Josh (J & J)
Even if you’re not a Christian
Christian men believe in the family dynamics all women desire deep in their hearts.
Josh
Thank you for joining us today. I’m Josh and I am accompanied today by my wife Jessica to bring you another part of this amazing topic, “why Christian men are what you want”. We are J & J. Enjoy!
It was not long ago, on a cold Pennsylvania winter’s day when a young couple was on a trip back home for Christmas. She was anxious to get home for the holidays. What a joy it will be to be back home, relaxing and sitting around telling stories and drinking cider and Christmas punch. He was just hoping they make it through the bad roads.
That’s when he began to think about their relationship. More specifically, his role, and who he was and was supposed to be. Was it okay to feed his worry — in his head, out loud, or neither? Was being realistic in his mind good for the relationships?
Powerful. Emotions run powerful in relationships.
Family Dynamics
Jessica
I want to jump right into part II by saying that Christian men believe in the family dynamics all women desire deep in their hearts.
Christian men don’t need to be told many things. If they were brought up that way, that is. A new Christian may have some things to learn. Many things are automatic. Family dynamics is one thing. Christian men want a home they can grow a family in.
Christian men step into leadership automatically. I mean, who wants to start a relationship with a checklist:
- Who is male?
- Who is feminine?
- Is trash feminine, am I going to take the trash out?
On a side note, I’m the one who overflows the trash, all while the bag has fallen down in the can. My husband is the one who fixes it and takes it out. Neither of us needs that conversation, we just live life the way that was natural. I feel bad for anyone that does need that conversation.
With Christian men, you never have to worry that they will proudly march into something abnormal or disrespectful.
Final Thoughts
Josh
The final three items we would like to add:
Heart of a Servant
Gender Development
Continuing Aptitude
Heart of a Servant
Jesus talked about this, too. About us being a servant to others. This is voluntary heart posture, not servitude. Slavery already has a word: servitude.
But, Jesus’ expression of this is much more of a statement. His death.
Picture this. In this picture, forget everything you know about the Bible. Clean slate. In this new realm, you know these things:
- sinful people have the ability to die, physically
- crucifixion was meant for criminals
- Pharisees were iconic these days as “men of God”
- there is good power, from heaven, and bad power, from a dark place people automatically knew, was not proper
Jesus:
- did not sin, but accepted death as payment, known as the “last sacrifice”. He was the last sacrifice God wanted
- Pharisees picked crucifixion for Jesus’ death
- Pharisees pushed Jesus to the Romans because they could not kill Jesus without their own people turning on them
- Jesus used power from heaven when He NEEDED to. Pharisees were upset because Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Boo-hoo. I say that, because if heaven released power, what human can say, “that was wrong, wrong day”? That’s called a religious spirit and Jesus came to destroy that, too
For men. They are meant to be this. Strong, no backing down when they know the truth. They heal the “least of these”. They lay their lives down as shown to them by God. Christian men follow only God and do not need validation.
Gender Development
With Christian men you never have to worry about gender confusion. Christian men will develop biological men and women, scientifically.
They will teach, respond, and love.
Continuing Aptitude
The Bible continuously pounds the life out of this. Christian men will continue to learn. I don’t specify what type of aptitude, because the Bible doesn’t. Reading comprehension, technology, science, finances, Bible memorization, and prophetic aptitude.
The greatest of these is prophetic aptitude. This is when a man develops a great Shield of Faith like a war-hardened warrior with a war cry that makes demons shutter. When Jesus walked up to a demon-possessed man, the demons knew who He was and they asked Jesus to command them into pigs.
Meanwhile,
“A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this. But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?” Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.”
Acts 19:13–16, NLT
Christian men are just built rugged and tough. Fake Christian men are nothing like these stories because they exemplify literally nothing the Bible says they should. We call them lukewarm, they are unsure who they are. The Bible also tells us what happens to those who are lukewarm. You see, warriors die in battle, by choice and by calling. Not to say they will die, but their heart is comforted knowing they lived the way they should have.
I’ll also say this. I do know Christian men who are stuck in their ways and refuse to continue to learn. They are solid in their faith. I do not speak badly or down about them, I just say what the Bible says. If my words hurt a Christian, their validation was put in man. The Armor of God would have fixed that.
