ACT LIKE MEN

1 Cor 16:13-14
13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love. NASU
** Where are the real men? What does it take to be a real man? Here it says that if you are one who stands on the alert and are firm in the faith you can act like men and be strong. Real men are not easily distracted from the task that is laid before them by the Lord. “Be alert” always be watching for your adversary the devil roams seeking whom he may devour. If you can’t see him coming then you can’t be prepared to fight back when he attacks. How’s your faith? Firm or flabby? When trouble comes do you get weak knees and light headed and cold sweats? If so then you need faith aerobics! Exercise your faith by using the little troubles to build up your faith so when the big troubles come you will not fear (which is the opposite of faith) and you will stand firm in the faith. Working on both of those things will cause you to “act like men and be strong.”
