Men and Guns 3 of 4: Loose Cannons

The third way that men use their manhood is likened to the gun or gun user that is destructive. Lately there have been accounts of professional athletes packing heat. One guy even brought his guns to work, in the locker room! I am constantly hearing of crazy shootings in the inner city, as well. Just yesterday a man was working on clearing the roads in Kansas City in a snowplow. He had been working for a long time and decided to take a break. While he was sitting in his parked snowplow taking a break some guy drove up, pulled his gun and shot him dead. What? Are you serious? Is this how some men feel they have to act to be “real” men; does offing people at random show that we are tough? I know men who do this with their manhood as well. They intimidate people for no reason. They drive like maniacs just so that the guy behind them won’t “beat” them in the race down the highway to work. They blow up at their kids when there is discipline to be dealt. They hurl insults at the ones they love because they have to “protect” their emotions. They have to destroy others to feel like a man. This, too, is no way for a man to live and use the manhood that God created for him. This is a serious lie that Satan has told many of us, or has convinced us is the truth about ourselves. God has a better plan for our manhood.
