The world needs authentic masculinity

The world needs authentic masculinity

To be men in today’s society requires strength tempered with humility, argues Mark Lyndon-Jones.

In a world that often confuses strength with aggression and success with selfish ambition, the call to authentic manhood stands out as a beacon of light in the darkness.

Colossians 3:17 boldly declares, “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

This verse encapsulates the essence of true masculinity – a life lived in service to others, rooted in gratitude and honouring the name of Christ in all things. For men seeking to embody authentic masculinity, Colossians 3:17 serves as a powerful guidepost.

It challenges us to align every aspect of our lives – our words, actions and attitudes – with the character of Christ.

In a culture that often glorifies self-centred pursuits and personal gain, this biblical mandate calls us to a higher standard – one that prioritises humility, integrity and selfless love.
