The Two Types of Men

When it comes to relationships, I believe there are basically two types of men: protectors and predators.  I’ll describe each.

Protectors

As the name implies, a protector is interested in protecting the heart, purity, and reputation of any woman he is in a relationship with.  He wants to postpone sex until marriage, and his actions prove it.  A protector puts her needs before his own.  The woman in his life feels completely safe: she feels loved, honored and at peace with her own conscience.

Predators

A predator is not safe to be with.  He is primarily interested in his own wants, and women are simply a means to that end.  A predator can be charming, smooth, persuasive, and manipulative—after all, he must carefully disguise his true nature and intentions.  He seeks his own gratification, indifferent to the harm he causes.  Sooner or later, the woman in his life loses: she loses her innocence, self-respect, and maybe more.

Ladies, what kind of men are you choosing?

Confessions of a CyberPastor

I haven’t been on campus for quite a few days.  It is semester break, which means I don’t have usual face-to-face time with students.  Regardless, technology offers many opportunities for me to minister without even leaving my apartment. 

I can think of at least three or four emails I’ve responded to over the past few days–sharing Bible verses, advice, or practical wisdom to those who have questions.

I know electronic communication is no substitute for personal, face-to-face contact.  But I’m thankful for any opportunity God gives me to minister, even if it is through a simple email.  This is what really excites me about blogging–reaching out to those you may never be able to meet in person.  Isn’t technology neat?
