We are glad to see that Truth has made amends and is now moving forward. RP Movement doesn’t look to rub mistakes and sin into the noses of those who may have committed them we are about repentance and empowerment. Life is short and we don’t need to allow sin to keep us from doing what God has called us to do. Click below to hear the interview with Truth and his wife conducted by Wade-O radio.

Brave (adj) – ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage  

This is what men of today are missing. I think that women and their pursuit of equality is righteous, but it should not emasculate men. Men have been fashioned by God to conquer and defend what is most important to them. Bravery is summoned from the depths of man’s soul and brings out the best in him.

Countries are defended, families are protected, and unprecedented levels of unselfishness are displayed when men are placed in certain situations. Our culture has taken away opportunities for men to display bravery and instead replaced it with foolishness. We need to reintroduce the concept of bravery and attach it to concepts like fatherhood, work, husband, etc… We need to glamorize these concepts that same way we’ve done with thug, incompetence, absent father, drunk, etc…

Faithful (adjective) loyal, constant and steadfast
(of a spouse or partner) never having a sexual relationship with anyone else
(of an object) reliable

This particular characteristic of manhood is an extremely important quality, but often regarded as impossible to achieve. To be faithful one must deny selfish desires. Selfish desires that may feel heavenly, but betray the trust of those we respect and love. It’s amazing how something that seems so right can make our lives a living hell. Faithfulness is disciplining one’s mind, spirit and body to outlast the temptation to break a vow over a long period of time.

Since the spotlight is consistently shun bright on unfaithful men, this blog is my attempt to cast light on the greatness of the faithful. Faithfulness is a characteristic that must be grasped at a young age and displayed by other men. Older men give our younger generation a road map that navigates them around, over, and thru temptations that may cause them to stumble. The benefits of faithfulness far exceed the temporary high of unfaithfulness.

Stability in one’s relationships and peace concerning your physical body, mind and spirit are just a few intangibles. All I am trying to say, is that faithfulness has been a apart of the foundation of cultures, religions, families, and relationships. Real men are faithful.

Serious (adj) – (of a subject, state, or activity) Demanding careful consideration or application: marriage is a SERIOUS matter.

I remember being on the dating scene and a common theme during our conversations was consistent. They often expressed the lack of seriousness men had about their lives. It was a huge turn off that grown men were unaware of situations where seriousness should have been applied. Joking inappropriately to avoid a real conversation or downplaying a topic because it required actual thought have driven good women back to the dating seen.

A mature man understands that life isn’t a big game of “sexual tag” and just about having a good time with friends. A serious man knows that handling life matters with careful consideration or application often times paves the way for good times. Communication problems with significant others, financial matters, and raising children are just a few scenarios that a man recognizes are serious. A sign of immaturity is the misuse of seriousness.

Have you ever seen a friendly game of basketball, spades, or any competitive event go south thru the misuse of seriousness. I’ve seen men beat up each other over an infraction done or perceived during a game. What makes it even worse is when you seen those same individuals blow off spending time with their kids or managing their funds so they can get out of their parents house, to go have a good time.

A serious man isn’t a party crasher or a stick in the mud. A serious man understands matters of importance and treats them as such. I will leave you with a passage of scripture that relates to this topic. Titus is one of God’s young disciples and Paul is mentoring him. Paul begins to instruct Titus on how he should structure his messages and lifestyle to lead God’s people.

Titus 2 (Amplified Version)

1BUT [as for] you, teach what is fitting and becoming to sound (wholesome) doctrine [the character and right living that identify true Christians].
2Urge the older men to be temperate, venerable (serious), sensible, self-controlled, and sound in the faith, in the love, and in the steadfastness and patience [of Christ].
