Characteristics of Godly men

LET US BE REAL MEN OF GOD! We love Jesus Christ.  We reverence the Lord and we hate sin. We live holy.  We don't mess around with porn. We are open and honest. We love to stand up for the Truth.  We work hard.  We pursue righteousness. We are godly leaders at home.  We reach out to the lost.  We set a godly example for others to follow.
Thank the Lord for godly men, but many families are falling apart today for lack of godly men.
A lot of men attend church and may be involved in church activities and go through their 'religious routine' and have an 'outward show of godliness' but its just a mask they wear that comes off after they leave church.
Jesus said "They praise Me with their lips but their heart is far from Me."(Matthew 15:8)
Men what are you like at home, at work and what are you like around friends? What do you talk about and your conduct, does it please the Lord? Your conversation tells others who you are on the inside. 
Do you hunger daily for the Word? Do you worship Jesus from your heart?
Do you in humility serve others? What is your real passion in life? Are you just going through the motions? Does Jesus define your life? Is your faith dead and fake and void of good works?
