He is always building up, not tearing down. A man of moral purity, for what you do in moderation, your kids will do in excess.ĥ. To talk like a man, to act like a man, to be a man. We need men to be men and women to be women. "Let our yes be yes, and our no be no."Ĥ. What we are doing is teaching our children to make their own decisions because we won’t. Yet, how many times in the home do we hear children ask if they can do so and so, and the response is, let me think about it when we know the answer should be no.

#Man of steel and velvet lincoln series
I am planning toward July and into August of doing a series on the family and today on Father’s Day I want to address men with some thoughts as I did to the women on Mother’s Day. I want to share with you characteristics of what makes men of steel and velvet. The family is important, because weak homes build weak churches, and weak businesses, and week nations. What happens when we fail, well, in LA today, the largest numbers of prostitutes on the streets are teenage boys. 100,000 men walk out on their home each year, and many of them never say good-bye, leaving over 1 million children in single family homes.Ĭhurch, we have a call to father the fatherless, to be big brothers and sisters. Today, men are allowing women to have the authority that was given to them. The one to blame for the home going bad is the man, not the woman. If things are going well in our business, who gets the credit? If you go into bankruptcy, who’s head rolls? When things are going well, everyone gets the credit, but when things are not going well, the coach’s head rolls. We have a crisis in our homes because we have failed. Now get ready, for I am setting you up, for when you are the head of something, you are responsible. How many of the men are waiting for me to pull out a message on dominion from Ephesians 5, "Women, submit to your husband."? Men, say Amen. I want to speak this Father’s Day on men of velvet and steel, a phrase Carl Sandberg used to describe Abraham Lincoln. How many of you know when God repeats himself, he is trying to get something across? God wants us to have leadership and dominion. There is an emphasis on leadership and dominion in these verses.
