What what?
Men have feelings, too, but too often we can't acknowledge that because of the constraints society (and churches) place on us.
It's nothing short of macho arrogance that says "I don't have emotional needs."

I do like Disrcoll (do i agree with him all the time?
NO!)
He hold the scripture in high regard...he is missional he longs to see folks saved.
do I agree with everything he says...no, but i eat the meat and spit out the bones.
How we feel about the Scripture or what it says is irrelevant. Only an intellectual pursuit of the meaning of Scripture within its proper context matters. Not every verse is intended to bring personal comfort & peace to its readers. I get tired of hearing questions like "how does this verse comfort you" when we should be asking what was the original intent & meaning of this passage. :BangHead:
It's a wonder Paul chose Timothy to take his place considering he was taught by.....gasp......TWO women!
His father was a Greek.
2 Timothy 1:5
when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.
"I learned my theology, from which I have never swerved, from an old woman who was a cook in the house where I was an usher. She could talk about the deep things of God and as I sat and heard what she had to say, as an aged Christian, of what the Lord had done for her, I learned more from her instruction than from anybody I have ever met with since!"
