Boys love to test their physical strength through competition. This often involves sports such as football, soccer, or wrestling. But boys also measure their strength through weightlifting. By pumping iron, they develop muscle and gain stamina.The problem is that in the gym, it’s easy for boys to think that bigger biceps equals a better man. Teach your son that, although a challenging physical routine can bring all kinds of results, even more important than physical strength . . . is strength of character. Here’s an idea: Study Bible characters from God’s Word. How did those men succeed or fail in life? How can we learn from their examples?Becoming a godly man doesn’t happen by accident.
