Here is a list of qualities fit for a true man of God. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think to master this list, but we all have work to do in many of these areas. This effort is not only an act of obedience to Christ, but it makes us much better men, leaders, husbands, fathers, and workers. I am working on grouping these into five manageable groups, with one trait helping another. Stay tuned!
