Who is a Christian Man?

As a convert to Christianity from the general cultural agnosticism,

one of the most important questions that Christianity answers for me is "what is my place in the world?".

The Bible shows me the direct lineage I have in faith to great men like Abraham.

Understanding that you are a man - you have a vertical relationship with God, the creator of the universe - your rights and responsibilities come from Him, not from some bureaucrat's desk - is a life-changing understanding.

Most of the Church has drifted into religious behavior (particularly in Europe, but also in America) and society has an image of a limp-handshake Christian. That is not at all the Christian Man that the Bible shows us.

There is so much to learn about being a Christian Man. Shaking off society's false images is a process that can take some time.

Times such as these need Christian Men.

The 19th Century produced an apotheosis of the state. Hegel produced a whole line of intellectuals who treated the state as an organic being, with human beings being no more than individual cells, whose very purpose is to serve the state. The Judeo-Christian notion of man as a being freely capable of worshipping the Creator does fit this view.
