Summary

To STAND UP and act like a man you must first BOW DOWN and surrender to Jesus. For if, because of one man’s (Adam) trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17”It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Teddy Roosevelt*The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).

All right, if you got your Bibles, I hope you do, grab them.

0:03.2

We're going to go to the first book of the Bible, Genesis 2 and 3.

0:06.4

And as you go there, just again, we're starting a six-week series called Act Like Men.

0:12.4

So we're going to talk about what a man is over the next six weeks.

0:16.6

And I've had some women say, well, what about us?

0:26.0

Sometimes the way the question gets asked is from single women saying, Pastor, where have all the good men gone?

0:28.8

And I go, I know I'm trying to do my best, all right?

0:32.2

So, women, here's what we don't need during the next six weeks.

0:34.4

We don't need any preach it, brother. Amen.

0:36.2

That's right, pastor, okay?

0:39.1

You can just kind of sit back and relax. I would invite you to take it all in, and a little while we'll tell you a couple of ways you could help. And then the

0:43.5

sixth week, I am going to talk about the reality that it's not good for man to be alone and what

0:48.6

your brothers in Christ need from you. And we're going to go through that on the sixth week.

0:55.6

So the question is,

1:00.7

where have all the good man gone? Well, the, you got to dig in and say, well, what is a man?

1:07.0

What does it mean to be a man? I'll tell you, I'm a man, and I love to hunt and I love to fish,

1:11.2

and my favorite color is camo, and I love plaidid and I like college football. Can we agree not to talk about that today? We won't talk about that. And I've got a beautiful wife and I got healthy

1:16.5

kids and I work out and I still have a few muscles, not as many as I used to. And I drive a four-wheel

1:20.6

drive truck and I like cold beer. That's right. I said it, cold beer. And not too much, it's the right amount, you know. And I like chicken wings and nachos, and I hunt my groceries with a bow and an arrow,

1:30.3

and I got more guns than I have fingers.

1:32.3

I could have one on me right now. That's just true.

1:35.3

And none of that makes me a man.
