Piper on Biblical Masculinity

John Piper writes 11 reasons why we should cherish Biblical masculinity. You can listen to him talk about these here.

He writes:

By “masculine Christianity,” I mean (though words are inadequate):

The theology and the church and the mission are marked by over-arching male leadership and an ethos of tender-hearted strength and contrite courage and risk-taking decisiveness and readiness to sacrifice to protect and provide for the community—the feel of a great, majestic God making the men lovingly strong and the women intelligently secure.
