All of these are things that are unfit for a man of God.

Let’s get right into it then: here are 15 things that a masculine man never does.

  1. Lose their heads when trouble comes: A big part of being a man is being able to maintain a cool head to make wise decisions when the stakes are highest. A man who breaks down under pressure or when things are going south is unreliable and unfit to lead.

  1. Put down those who are struggling: A masculine man doesn’t mock or humiliate those who are behind him. Instead, he looks at them with charity and sincerely attempts to help them out, understanding that whatever talents and blessings he has have been given to him by God, and it’s his duty to give back to those less fortunate than him.

  1. Make decisions based solely on profits: Money is important, yes, but it can’t be the main driving force behind your decisions. That’s a fast track pass to idolatry and materialism. As always, reason must govern. Make wise financial choices, of course, but never at the expense of your values.

  1. Idolize celebrities, athletes, or politicians: A big cause of the epidemic of immaturity plaguing the world today is that many young men have made idols out of celebrities, athletes, politicians, or other public figures. It’s difficult to develop and mature properly as a man when your entire life revolves around a celebrity which you’ve chosen to try and imitate. A masculine man of God has no idols and worships no one but God.

  1. Consume what degrades their soul: Masculine men guard their eyes, ears, and heart. They understand that the music they listen to, the movies they watch, and the people they talk to all have an effect on who they are, and so they stay vigilant and avoid degenerate things.
