It’s largely assumed that salads and early morning walks are for women. Meanwhile, it’s considered normal for men to be hunkered down on the couch watching baseball, with a can of beer in one hand and a bag of potato chips in the other. In many circles there can be an unspoken rule that the more manly you are, the less concerned you’ll be about the calories...]]></description><link>https://www.reformingmen.com/post/a-godly-man-s-diet-for-the-body</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fbb0cf7c961ad0b9012a86</guid><category><![CDATA[At Home]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 21:45:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c70854_7d33557b24bb4f7d9e12df080d5dd642~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Devon Rossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Father's Work: No Other Gods]]></title><description><![CDATA[Introduction Having considered the use of the law for fathers, it is time to take up this law and examine how it is significant. The First Commandment says, “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). This commandment lays the foundation for giving glory and honor to God in all areas of life. To model this in the family, fathers must impress on their children that God is supreme in all of life.
