Summary

There is a crisis of biblical manhood in our day. Everywhere you look, there seems to be a gutting of mature manhood and the way men have been called to live as followers of Christ. John Piper says "The essence of Biblical Manhood is the benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for and protect women in ways that are appropriate to a man's differing relationships." Our prayer is that the talks from this conference would be used to strengthen men, help men thrive spiritually, help men kill sin, reform broken men by the power of Jesus Christ, train husbands, train fathers, and aid in raising young men up to be godly, gentle, strong, and holy, having 1 Timothy 3 character. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org This presentation was given by Dr. David Miller on June 10, 2019 at the "Mature Manhood in an Immature Age" 2019 Founders SBC event in Birmingham, Alabama.

And I don't know if I'm going to ever get through laughing at Mark Coffin.

You just presented some hilarious stories and wonderful truths.

I shall preach now from the New Testament book of 1st Timothy, Chapter 3, verses 1 through 7.

1:25.4

I'll go ahead and mention the 500-pound gorilla in the room. I am a complementarian. Egalitarianism is an aberrant view among the

Baptists that I come from. Since 1845, there never has been more than one-tenth of 1% of Southern Baptist churches

who practice ordaining women either to the pastorate or the deaconship, do the math.

2:07.6

That one in one thousand, that's not exactly a trend.
