What is a real man?

Ask that question to ten men, and you'll get ten different answers.
In 1 Kings 2, King David in his last moments of his life called his son Solomon to his bedside and shares with him what it means to be a real man. "Take courage and be a man. Observe the requirements of the lord your God, and follow all his ways. Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and all laws written written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go."
According to David, to be a real man---a successful man, follow God. It almost sounds too simple doesn't it? And yet that's what we need to do.
As we approach Father's Day this Sunday, let's model real manhood to our families.
And don't forget to be at church Sunday, because we're going to unwrap this principle a little more!
