Man Up!

[This is a real different style for me, I'd be interested to hear what y'all think.]

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

Philippians 2:9

Preacher,
define masculine, pinned down
with implicit synonyms:
Big. Athletic.
Proud—
only humble
before God.
Stoic.

Condemn
passivity as effeminate,
degenerative.

Exegete
the word
passion—trace it
back to the root.

Worship
the manly-Christ
in the mirror,
who lifted himself up.

I think you utilize this style effectively. Written more directly, more broadly or more harshly, this piece wouldn't be nearly as effective.
