This weekend Fields taught big church - started a 2-week series on manhood. Started off with humility, and it was really great. Here's a clip from the part I thought was the best.
Men—I totally understand that you might even feel unmanly writing down the word “humility.” To take a knee is the posture of submission and guys don’t like to submit. You might even be thinking “humility” is synonymous with “weak.”JG
That’s not true. Think about it this way… a warrior comes back from battle and stands before the king. The warrior takes a knee, not out of weakness, but out of understanding that there is someone else leading them. He takes a knee and submits to a higher authority.
A strong, studly football player shows up to the game to destroy his opponent and the coach calls them together and says, “Men, take a knee.” The athlete takes a knee, not out of weakness, but out of understanding that the coach is in charge.
