The MAKING of a GODLY MAN
Creative Content for Christian Men for Building Godly Character
There’s a lot of misguidance out there on becoming a real man. So, I want to bring some clarity by giving you 15 characteristics of a godly man. Each of these characteristics come from 1 Timothy 3:1-7, where we find the qualifications of a pastor who is the pattern for the men in the local church.
As you walk through these characteristics, it is important that you be intentional about putting in the work. In 1 Timothy 4:7, men who desire to become godly are told to “train yourself for godliness,” implying that godliness requires your effort. Here is a video with a practical way to “train yourself” while walking through this series.
God makes godly men.
And, he can make you into one.
