Dockers' "Man-ifesto" Ad Campaign Recalls Traditional Roles of Men in Culture
Real men are set to wear the pants again, according to a recent Dockers ads for khakis. Dockers writes, "We need heroes. We need grown-ups. . . . It's time to wear the pants." Dockers is promoting a vision of manhood it thinks will resonate with many men - a message they hope will also make them a ton of money: Read below and be the judge, whether a traditional, if not biblical, view of manhood is making a comeback.

I often speak to men about discovering and savoring their identity, legacy and destiny in Christ. A man’s identity is not found in what he does but who he is because of Christ’s Cross. He leaves a godly legacy by living a godly llife empowered by Christ’s Spirit. His destiny is heaven where he will behold God face to face and where everything will be set right. C. S. Lewis captures something of the nature of our destiny in Christ in the last paragraph of the last book of The Chronicles of Narnia series. READ MORE
Tools for Ministry and Life
"You cannot just put a bunch of men together and assign them to a care group like some sort of E-Harmony for men and think that is going to solve and fix and help the masculine soul. We have modeled most of our men's ministries after our women's ministries -- get the men together, read a book together, hold their hands and pray together and talk about the worst sin that you ever did -- and that ain't happening. Men solve problems. They fix stuff. They get stuff done. When we give men such weak assignments -- we put them on the bereavement committee and the flower committee and the grounds committee and the fellowships committees -- give men a God-sized task that they know requires a man."

New Man Magazine recently featured the following article about what's wrong with most men's discipleship programs in churches:
"We know that as go the men, so go the marriages, families, churches, communities and culture. Today these institutions are in crisis because men are in crisis...Men are largely disengaged, unchallenged, under-led, discouraged, and disconnected. Often there seems little difference between the lives secular men live and those of men who call themselves Christians. Why do so many men in the church go through the motions of Christianity? The answer follows along two fault lines." READ MORE
