It's a guy thing.
Women hate it when guys say that.
He lists them in several Bible passages. First Timothy 3 is one. God is into guys who want to be an example of what can happen when He gets hold of a human life, who ache to see others brought to a deeper knowledge of God and His Word, and who don't buy into the lies of this world. Lord, our culture is so confused about what a man or a woman should be like, but Your principles have stood the test of centuries. Help me to fulfill what You expect of me.
