Where are all the real Christian men?
I am not saying this to cause controversy, but where are all the real Christian women who would truly want to be with a real Christian man?
Was the Apostle Peter a real Christian man?
He was, and he was married, but we are not told anything about his wife in scripture except that Jesus healed her mother. I am assuming that she remained with him, but would any Christian woman today?
Seeing him leave to preach the gospel, time and time again.
Enduring his imprisonments.
Enduring his martyrdom.
I am really just thinking out loud, and not trying to be the least bit contentious, but I have hardly ever met a real Christian woman along the lines of what I just described.
Have any of you?
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
To your point, I have hardly ever met any real Christian men either, and it is a full-time job trying to be one myself. In fact, I just told a Christian friend of mine by way of email that I have come to the undeniable conclusion that I am my own worst enemy where being a real Christian man is concerned. Not in that my Christian walk is just some big façade, but I definitely have cowered away at times from the full call of God on my life. I am praying for the courage to go forward, but real Christian men often pay a huge price for being real; even to the point of death.
I did not mean to be a downer here, but let us all consider the terminology that we use in the light of scripture. Being a real Christian man is no light matter, and we only have to look to Christ himself as our example.
Well, let me go back to praying for myself because God knows that I need to.
