This can and should send a strong message to young men, especially to young Christian men

There is a hardwired instinct in all men that drives them to give their lives and use their strength in projects and ambitions beyond themselves. This drive is built into them by their creator, because he made them in his image, and it exists around the world, across all religions, nations, and generations. It is part of masculinity. All men have this instinctive drive, it is only a matter of how they use it.


For a few hundred years, Christianity held influence over American masculinity. Men used their strength and ambition to build, bless, provide for, and protect the weak. This is not the only kind of masculinity there is, but it is the kind that develops from a worldview centered around Christ, who used his power to serve and not to be served, and who gave up his life for the sake of others, knowing his eternity was secure. Men who follow Christ will use their strength the way he did for the same reasons he did.

The following is a very strong and very sober warning:

If American men give up their Christian masculine identity, they run a real risk of being conquered and replaced by men who were taught to kill to live.

It is not whether men will fill the gap, it is which kind of men.

In many evangelical circles there is frequent talk of revival. The word “revival” has connotations all over the map, but the kind of revival that is necessary at this hour is a full-scale revival. It must be a revival of manhood and womanhood, skilled trades, faithful men, large families, small businesses, private schools, laughter, and a parallel economy that is distinct and better than the slop and tyranny being produced everywhere else.

This kind of revival will need men to lead it, because that is the nature of Christian masculinity. It will either rise and take on the mantle of faithful and bold leadership, or it will passively stand by while men of greater resolve take over.

Indeed; evil always seeks to fill every gap and vacuum it can.

This is a really good post. Bad news for the milquetoast. Okay, seriously, it was a good post and correct. Men have been bewitched by an incorrect femininity and they tend to roll over to appease and apologize, no matter the advance and its cause. Seeing that behind the pulpit and run amok in the church, these rollovers, oh boy. Hard no.

Only Manly men are allowed in my house. My pronouns are Tes/tos/ter/one. We can skin a buck, run a trot line, own shotguns, and 4 wheel drives, us Country Boys can survive.

Man buns need not apply.

If you mix egg and cinnamon with it, soak it and fry it, it becomes french toast.

You forgot "and cover it with powdered sugar."

What was the radical far-left agenda behind the push to emasculate men?
