Biblical Manhood & Womanhood

If your 10 year-old son, grandson, nephew, or boy in your Sunday School class came up to you and asked, "What does it mean to be a man," how would you respond? If your 10 year-old daughter, granddaughter, niece, or girl in your Sunday School class came up to you and asked, "What does it mean to be a woman," how would you respond? In a world of gender confusion, these are important questions.

• Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God.
• Male and female are identity markers. 
• Men and women are called to contribute to the creation mandates.
• Men and women must attach dignity to the right things.
• Men and women have distinct roles.
• Be aware of the temptation to sex role reversals.
• Guard against the battle of the sexes.
• Men must obediently embrace their God-ordained role of leading for God.
• Women must obediently embrace their God-ordained role of helping for God.
• Men and women must keep in mind their primary life purpose.
