My website contains exactly zero drop down menus. The reason is because I designed it myself and I learned that skill by the seat of my pants. True web page designers use drop down menus to conserve space and simplify navigation. Run your cursor over any drop down menu and immediately the topics you need cascade down the page beneath it.
I like to think of Christian men who have a deep relationship with the Lord as drop down menus. There he is, in the crowd, looking just like any ordinary guy. But get to know a Drop Down Menu Christian Man and suddenly exactly what you need appears all around him. Here’s the “menu” of some of the needs we all have that this type of man can and does meet.
Help
Serving others is a part of any Drop Down Menu Christian Man’s DNA. He actually believes that providing a positive benefit to others is the reason he exists. Need help with some project around your home? Just say the word and he’ll be there.
Love
In a Drop Down Menu Christian Man’s universe, love involves much more than simply marriage, sex and procreation. This kind of man knows that love involves coming to truly know and understand someone, and then being willing to sacrifice for them in a time of need.
Friendship
We all need genuine, loyal friends. Come across any Drop Down Menu Christian Man and you’ll have a friend for life.
Hope
Genuine hope comes from knowing God. A Drop Down Menu Christian Man will show everyone around him what that hope looks like by living out his relationship with God daily. And then he’ll explain how they can have that hope too, through faith in Jesus Christ.
Stability
When it comes to men, stability seems in short supply these days. A Drop Down Menu Christian Man, on the other hand, knows who he is, why he’s here, and where he’s going. Because of that, he’s able to navigate the hairpin turns of life easily.
Honesty
A Drop Down Menu Christian Man came to be who he is by confessing his sin to God with brutal honesty. He knows that evil cannot thrive in light, and therefore always walks toward it instead of fleeing from it.
Joy
That Drop Down Menu Christian Men exist at all is proof of one amazing fact: that ultimately, everything is going to be okay for those who love God.
And that, my friend, is joy. Pure joy.
