Today, there is some confusion in society about the difference between being born a male, and becoming a man. There is a process described in scripture, whereby males grow up to become men, who are ready to lead their own families. This process has been short-circuited in some areas of our society, to the detriment of us all. What is sometimes referred to as "racial inequity" in America today, would more accurately be termed a "fatherlessness epidemic", afflicting certain sectors of the Caucasian and Black American population. When politicians say "it takes a village" to raise a child, they overlook a far more important role of "father" and "mother", when it comes to raising up the next generation of Americans to lead us forward. We hope you will find this dive into the scriptures and the meaning of the words "male" and "man" to offer direction, in light of current events. God bless you and yours, and Happy Father's Day!!
