Ultimately, men learn masculinity from God. God is not male. He does not have a body. But God is pure, unadulterated masculinity. Ultimately, He alone is the Christian father’s role model. His masculinity expresses itself as the willingness to initiate…the willingness to initiate is the heart and soul of God’s masculinity. God serves us by initiating. He initiated creation. He initiated our redemption. He came to us in the incarnation. We didn’t go to Him. This willingness is most likely what God means when He refers to Himself with masculine pronouns. Although God does not have a male body, He is the ultimate initiator. He is the ultimate servant-leader. In this sense, God the Father is absolute masculinity.

Preheat the oven to 425F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
in a large bowl. Mix well. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a
pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the eggs,
milk and raisings. Stir quickly with a fork until the dough leaves the
sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet to
form the desired number of scones. Leave at least 1" between the scones.
Bake until golden (about 12-15 minutes). Remove to a wire rack, and brush
immediately with honey. Serve at once with butter, jam and whipped cream.
