The vast majority of men today are spiritually, emotionally, and mentally weak. instead of choosing to study God's Word, work more, get some exercise, or pursue a constructive and active hobby, they waste their time and testosterone on pornography, partying, sports, video games, television, and politics. Not only those things but also on chasing women in short-term sexual relationships - which is only destructive to both the lives of the man and woman involved, and the lives of the man or woman they want to marry in the future.
What men must do is forsake the world (the system). That means ditch video games, ditch fruitless and pointless sports, ditch the television, and absolutely forsake pornography (which only serves to corrupt your heart, mind, body, and soul). What men must do is grow up and be manly men.
"Be strong and conduct yourselves like men...that you do not become [slaves].... Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!"
Growing up entails reading the Bible, seeking the Lord God Jesus Christ, and putting away all childish things. Growing up means desiring the full Truth, and hating lies - and this world is so full of lies, more so than ever, today. Growing up is calling out wickedness in its face and never apologizing for being in-line with the Word of God.
And lastly, growing up and being a manly man means knowing the role and authority which God has given every man on this earth: that he (man) is the head of the earthly-hierarchy; which the full order is, God>Christ>man>woman>child. As such, a man must never give up his strength to a woman.
"Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings."
Being a manly man is the second highest priority for a man on this earth. The only greater thing being salvation in Christ Jesus. With a manly nature, a man is equipped to seek and serve God, to take a wife and lead his family, and to instruct other men and also women in the way in which they should go.
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (behave) you like men, be strong."
Logos Prevailing.
