MOLESKIN:
I talked about a new type of masculinity out there that is disgusting me personally, and I find it super hypocritical. It reminded me of the hypocrisy of the warden in the movie Shawshank Redemption, but the the truth is, I can be just like that guy if I’m not careful or if I get complacent. It’s ok to be a biblical man, and we should pursue biblical masculinity, but that will look different for each of us. Two steps in biblical masculinity that I find reflected in these two sections from the Psalms are this: 1) repent, aka, own your spiritual crap before God and others. It is not enough to acknowledge you did something wrong. You need to take responsibility for your actions, and ask for forgiveness. We are living in a world that encourages blame-shifting and sandbagging your brothers, but we DON’T do that! We own our mistakes here. 2) Tell the truth, even if it hurts you personally. There is much in our culture right now that is spreading convenient lies instead of inconvenient truth. We are to be truth-tellers, and we need to be better than the hypocrites we see in the mirror every morning. The only way to get better and push others to be better is with God’s truth.
