Ladies, Mothers, Your Little Boys are Under Attack!
Maybe you have not thought about it much, but there is a war taking place all around us every single day. If your spiritual eyes were opened for just a few minutes you would see a spiritual landscaped dotted with bomb craters, fox holes, and trenches. Dead and dying men and women litter the ground. Bullets are whizzing by and the cries of the wounded are deafening. This battlefield is as real as any of our past – as real as Gettysburg or Normandy.
This Great War is being fought on many fronts and what I am writing about today is just one of those arenas of conflict, but to be sure it is a vital one because it involves our families and whatsoever concerns them will have an impact on our society. This battle is being fought for the control of our boys – it is a War against Masculinity. Certainly there are also battles being fought for the control of our girls, and I will deal with that subject in a 
future article, but it is vital that we understand what is taking place in our society and even more importantly what is taking place in our churches. It is a war against masculinity and if we continue losing this battle then we will lose future generations of young men.
One of the most lambasted and hated roles in modern society is that of the male, especially if that male is patterned after the Bible and what a traditional man should be. This war did not start last year, but has been going on since the beginning. In recent years we have seen the fight escalate. Much of what we saw unfolding in recent years on the news concerning the “Me Too” movement was about the future control of the world at large and not just about male oppression of females. To be sure, there definitely were some very bad men that had used their positions of power to take advantage of women, and those men needed to be arrested, charged, and convicted for their crimes. There is no argument
there. What was being reported openly needed to be aired out and exposed. At the same time we must recognize that the Feminist Movement, which is NOT about true femininity, politicized these glaring crimes into a grab for power. In their estimation men have forfeited their God-given position of leadership and these Feminists believe they could do a better job of leading the world. Again, do not mistake me here. There is never any reason for a man to mistreat and take advantage of a woman. Such a man is not a true man, and he should be treated as a criminal for his bestial behavior.
Today the soft man is now held up as the model for men to aspire to. Gone is the rugged man that would go out and bag wild game for the family table. These rugged men were men that would swing a hammer with resolve, wield an axe with fidelity, and carry a gun in a holster on their hip. The only gun that most boys know how to use today is a fake gun attached to cord on their Xbox. Very few shoot rabbits – now they shoot pixelated zombies and demons. Such soft activities have reduced manhood to a fantasy that can only exist in the minds of boys, and unfortunately when this fantasy finally explodes into the real world it usually does so violently in a school shooting. If these boys would have had a real man in their lives that would have taught them the truth about guns then we would not see this problem we see so prevalent today.
With complete blindness society blames a piece of 
metal for the violence and seeks to eliminate these acts of violence by regulating guns. The problem is in the hearts of boys that do not know how to be true men. The problem is in homes that have no real male leadership. A piece of manufactured metal and plastic is not the problem. The problem lies in the minds of those holding it and pulling the trigger. If we want to change the culture of violence we are going to need to change the minds of boys, and yes it is almost always boys that perpetrate these horrible acts of wanton violence, we are going to need to correct the masculine mindset.
For those that do not take the route of crime, and are somehow able to keep the fantasy of repressed manhood under control in their hearts, they find themselves acting more womanly than manly in their dealings with other people. This leads some boys into gender confusion and homosexuality. The militant homosexual movement loves this turn of events for our society is now cranking out an endless supply of fodder for their sexual perversions. Now we have boys that are not even sure they are boys. To compensate for this newly created problem, the liberals are creating new genders that go beyond anatomy. Some parents have bought into this lie hook, line, and sinker thinking they are a newly enlightened race of people smarter than all of humanity’s history and they are allowing their children to choose their gender when they are at the wise old age of three or four. Of course these kids are not mature enough to take out a loan at a bank, drive a car, or even vote – but they are mature enough to choose if they are male, female, bi-sexual, asexual, abimegender, absorgener, biogender, bigender, caprigender, femfluid, genderflora, invisigender, non-binary…and I must stop for the list of genders is now in the hundreds. Yep these children are definitely mature enough to choose their gender at four (sarcasm). Who in the world makes up this lunacy?
The fact of the matter is that God chooses a child’s gender at inception when the chromosomes of the newly developing child is aligned with either male or female. Sexuality is determined by gender and children should be raised in our society based on the designation assigned to them by our Creator at birth. Sure there are some extremely rare mutations that occur, but these are aberrations and not to be applied to humanity as a whole. We do not do this if a person is born with six fingers on each hand – you only see this mutations being assigned to sexuality in our society because of political correctness. There is no legitimate science behind these false claims. It is all about grant money, posturing in the press, and appeasing the powerful elite. Be careful not believe everything you hear, even if it looks good on paper or a computer screen. Common sense goes a long way in rejecting these pseudo sciences that seem to bolster the stupidity of the current state of gender confusion taking place.
This is a war on masculinity – make no mistake about it. Men are cowering down in fear. Who knows who will be next on the radar of radicalism that it will manufacture crimes in order to assert its agenda? I wouldn’t want to be a Supreme Court judge in today’s climate of hostility. Very few are going to line up and take that kind of abuse, especially if they are a male. The feminists have backed men into a corner, just where they wanted them. In the future it will be much easier to nominate women to the Supreme Court than men. Every man is going to have to run a gauntlet of false accusations, school yearbook reviews, innuendo, and anything else the left-leaning men-haters can come up with. This is just another part of the war on masculinity.
True masculinity is rooted in being a gentleman – and I am not talking about the men that frequent Gentlemen’s Clubs, for those men are NOT gentlemen. A true gentleman is a Bible Man. A true gentleman is a man that knows how to be tough when it is needed, but also knows how to be tender and treat a woman like a lady.
The true Gentleman is a man that displays his God-given calling to provide for his wife and family. That is, if he is a married man. A single man can be a gentleman as well. The married man knows that God has called him to provide the necessities of life, which also includes a protective arm around his wife and children. The wife that knows the value of a strong man basks in his safe hug and does not despise it. No matter how radicalized women are becoming, there is something still deep down in the heart of a woman that still enjoys the strength of a good man.
When you think back throughout the history of men you can see a commonality that persists from recorded time. Men were providers. Men were hunters. Men were warriors. Men were builders. Men were leaders. Men initiated other men into the society of what it means to be a man – in other words: it takes a man to make a man. It also takes a woman, and that first woman is a little boy’s mother. The combination of the Father and the Mother in the right measure molds and makes masculinity. Every man is a makeup of the love of a mother and the strength of a father. When these two elements of marriage are correctly applied to a little boy they will manufacture a man. Sure there are examples of boys raised in homes that did not turn out well. Sometimes these homes were not everything that everyone thought they were and on the surface all appeared well when in reality it was not. Other times the best laid plans went awry. Sometimes they do. As a rule though, when the home is Biblically sound it is more likely to produce the best of both male and female. This is why we must fight for Biblically sound families.
The war on masculinity is really a war on the family. Everything from marriage, to femininity, to masculinity is under attack. We must defend the Biblical definition of manhood religiously. We cannot concede this battle to our enemy.
Fathers it is time to teach our boys to be men. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a man. Boys should be taught to be proud of who God created them to be. Teach them to respect authority. Teach them to work hard. Teach them to do their chores. Teach them to treat women with respect. Teach them basic survival skills. Teach them to hunt and fish. Teach them to throw a ball. Teach them to pray. Teach them to love the Bible. Teach them to love the Church.
No boy should hang his head because he is a boy. No boy should be ridiculed because he wants to go out and play in the mud. Let the boys be boys and pick earthworms out of the ground. Let them get some dirt under the fingernails. Let them go out behind the house and build a fort out of sticks, rubbish, and saplings. When they understand them correctly let their toys be pocket knives, machetes, hammers, and BB guns.
Fathers take off of work early and take that boy camping. Buy a bass boat and take him fishing. Take him to the shooting range and teach him how to handle a gun properly. When he is at home don’t you allow that boy to mistreat his mother or sisters. Train him in all of the right ways. Dad, let your son see that there is no shame in crying –especially in a worship service at Church. Let those boys see you take their mother in your arms and give her a kiss of affection. Let the words “I Love You” be common in your home.
If your boy is too soft then find the problem and change it while he is young. There is nothing wrong with the rugged male. If you have to then throw the Nintendo out of the house, burn the skinny jeans, and buy him some nice blue flannel. This is a war and some drastic measures are in order. If your son is the baby in the family don’t let his Momma and Sisters baby him so much that he never grows out of it. Let him be a boy. Sound boys turn into sound men.
There is so much more that I could say here in this article, and I am sure that I will say more in the future about this. It is imperative that we raise our boys to be men. We must instill in them the virtues of real manhood. The world does not need any more sissies or any more thugs. Both are undesirable. What this world needs is Biblical examples of what a Godly man is. If this is done correctly it will go a long way towards getting our families and our nation back on track.
DEAR LADIES, women of God …. Declare right now that the LORD made you to be HIS servant, an “helpmeet” to your husband (Genesis 2:18). THE DEVIL IS A LIAR.

Selah ladies, selah. WHERE O WHERE will all jezebels be? – eternal damnation in the lake of fire, with not one exception. There are SO VERY MANY jezebels operating in the church world, especially here online! Every one of them is going to hell and the lake of fire.

THE ESSENTIAL IMPORTANCE OF CHRISTOLOGY [podcast]
WHO do WE say that Jesus is?
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8), and He is asking us the exact questions today that He asked His disciples while on earth.
“Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Matthew 16:13
“But whom say ye that I am?” Matthew 16:15
Jesus is asking each of us “What are others saying of Me and Who do you say that I am?” In other words, perhaps He’s asking us “In a world of many swirling ideas about Me, who do you say that I am – who do you know Me to be?”
If you were asked right now to give a 5 minute talk about the uniqueness and exclusivity of Jesus Christ from the Bible, could you do it?
“The doctrine of Christ” is revealed in “the RECORD that God gave of his Son” (2 John 9; 1 John 5:10).
If we don’t believe that Jesus is who the Bible says He is then we cannot be saved. Who does the Bible tell us that Jesus Christ is?
“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he (“the mighty God” prophesied Messiah Isaiah 9:6-7), ye shall die in your sins.” John 8:24
“The record that God gave of his Son” includes that Jesus Christ is divine. | Jesus Christ is God
“The doctrine of Christ” informs us of who He is (2 John 9).
Among other things, Jesus Christ is ….
- The Word made flesh (John 1:1-18)
- Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23)
- Creator of all that is (John 1:1-4; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16-17)
- “The Head” of His one church – remnant elect (Colossians 1:18; 2:19)
- “The Son of God” (Matthew 4:3, etc.)
- “The true God, and Eternal life” (1 John 5:20)
- The living water (John 4)
- “The bread of life” (John 6)
- “The light of the world” (John 8:12)
- “The door” (John 10:9)
- “The Good Shepherd” (John 10:11, 14; Hebrews 13:20)
- “The resurrection and the life” (John 11:25)
- “The way the truth and the life” (John 14:6)
- “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16)
- “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending … the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8)
The very first Messianic prophecy: Of necessity, from the very first declaration of God to fallen mankind, His promise to save us from our now fallen state, the virgin birth was asserted as a necessity….
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15
As we know, “her seed,” the “seed” in Mary’s womb was God the Father’s miracle of virgin birth, the eternal Word Jesus Christ made flesh to dwell among us and die to save us, fallen mankind (John 1:10, 14; Galatians 4:4, etc.).
The Messiah that was yet to appear, to come to the earth to die for the sins of the world, had to be divine – Isaiah the prophet foretold that the Messiah would be “the mighty GOD” (Isaiah 9:6).
“Her seed” – Women do not have seed. The man, the father, has the seed. The seed of the woman was going to be by God the Father in Mary…. A divine miracle that never had nor will happen again. “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (GOD with us) (Isaiah 7:14).
The fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy: “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:21-23).
Jesus Christ is the God man. – “The Son of man” means God’s man to redeem man.
“…his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20
“Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” John 5:18
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:58
“I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.” John 10:30-31″
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28
The Sacred Substance, the Central Theme of all of Holy Scripture
Jesus Christ came to the earth exactly how and when the “more sure word of prophecy”, the Scriptures, foretold that He would come and to fulfill the Messianic prophecies of Himself to the exact detail (2 Peter 1:19-21).
“Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalms 40:7-8
“From cover to cover of the OT it was foretold not only that Christ would come into the world but that He would come with an eager, ready spirit to do the will of God. The will of God was not just in His head—it was inscribed in His very heart.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
If we truly love Christ, will we not search, read, and study the LORD Jesus Christ…. ?
“The heart of Christianity is Christ. It is to know Christ. It is to follow Christ. It is to love Christ. It is to adore Christ. The sum and the substance of the Christian life is Jesus Christ.” Steve L.
IF we miss Christ in studying His Word, we have missed all. As is clear from our LORD’s interaction and rebuke of the false religionists of His day, this is quite possible. In fact, it’s clear by what Jesus said that we can know the Scriptures and not the Savior. We can know the words of God without knowing the God of that Word.
John 5:39-47
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”
IF doctrine weren’t important, explain this….
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not (does not remain) in the DOCTRINE of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
The only way we can be assured we are following the Jesus of the Bible and not “another Jesus” is to ascertain that we are established in “the doctrine of Christ” which is simply what the Bible teaches us about Jesus Christ the Messiah.
“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:4
HOW do we know that the coming of Jesus is at hand? Jesus warns. When asked He tells us that he first sign of His soon return will be the proliferation, the invasion of “MANY false prophets”:
“The disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. … 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. … 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:3-5, 11, 24
“The Doctrine of Christ”
51 times the Bible uses the word “doctrine,” and the central truth of biblical “doctrine” is what Scripture tells us about Jesus, the sacred substance of the Scriptures Himself, the eternal Word of God – Jesus Christ.
Christology chapters of note to pour over regularly: John 1; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1.
Beloved saints, make sure you are drilling down on “the doctrine of Christ” – laying the foundation that will stand against the evil winds of false doctrine that is being peddled by the vilest and most popular wolves on this planet (Ephesians 4:14-15; Hebrews 13:9, etc.).
The Bible phrase “the doctrine of Christ” refers by divine priority, plainly to Himself as the divine Person, the divine Word, the Son of God. Jesus Christ is revealed as God’s eternal Word, as the Messiah, LORD, Creator, Sustainer, and Great High Priest, Jesus Christ. It seems only after these biblical facts about Christ that “the doctrine of Christ” would then apply to our repenting and putting our whole faith in Christ for salvation (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21, etc.).
Say it aloud: “the doctrine of Christ.” What saith the Holy Scriptures of Christ?
- the Messiah in prophecy
- virgin birth
- divinity
- exclusivity
- death and burial
- resurrection
- return
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not (does not remain) in THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
So what does this verse (above) mean? It means that you are going to hell irrevocably if you don’t remain grounded, holding to, embracing what the Bible says about Christ, the Messiah.
In the context of the above cited verse, 2 John 9, the apostle John is warning us about the “MANY deceivers” and to be careful not to “lose …. those things” we know of Christ – lest we “abideth not in the doctrine of Christ” which will result in us having not God at all, being an apostate lost soul. Also he warns of bidding Godspeed to the antichrist’s who peddle “another Jesus” – lest you go to Hell (be also judged) with that antichrist who preaches “another Jesus,” one that is not according to the biblical “doctrine of Christ.” See also 2 Corinthians 11:4.
2 John 7-11
“7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
Of “the doctrine of Christ” one writer notes:
“In the Gospel of John, the apostle had already written that God’s word is truth (John 17:17). He also proclaimed that Jesus Himself (who is Deity – John 1:1) was the truth (John 14:6). It is clear from his gospel that if we love Jesus, we will keep His commandments (John 14:15; 15:14). We must also receive the truth that Jesus is deity who came in the flesh (John 1:14; 1 John 4:2-3). In his letter to the elect lady, John reiterates what he already stated in his gospel, namely, that the doctrine of Christ is composed of (1) Jesus’ commandments/doctrine which we are to obey and (2) Jesus’ deity.”
Example: John MacArthur is teaching that there is nothing special about the blood of Jesus. How anyone can still listen to that diabolical wolf is beyond belief. Yes he says a lot of good stuff which alone makes him even more insidious a tool of Satan. Say this Word from God aloud here and now beloved of God: Just “A LITTLE leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9). This biblical phrase, statement refers to false doctrine and sin (1 Corinthians 5:6). And false doctrine IS sin.
New message under construction which will expose more about this blasphemous heresy including the statement by John MacArthur.
Follow Jesus saints. THAT’s why God gave us His written Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Drill down on your knowledge of God – “the doctrine of Christ” – via personal Bible study in the King James Bible.

More examples of the glory-robbing antichrist denigration of Christ by the religious world today:
“Exactly what Satan is doing, taking the deity of Christ, humanizing Him. In ‘The Chosen’ (movie) when Jesus was 12 and preaching in the temple, Joseph told Him ‘You need to go and confess your transgressions to your mother’ because they did not know where He was. But Luke 2:49. Jesus says ‘wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business’?
He is also shown pacing and nervous when he is going to preach before the masses. He was the Son of God. Would He have been nervous and pacing? It’s mocking Jesus. Why Christians do not see this is beyond me! Nothing biblical about any of it. This show has gone out into other countries now. Bringing a false gospel. Mark 13:22.” Karen Cochran

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20
“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Eating the Fat, and Drinking the Sweet! [podcast]
Mourning Trumps Merriment in Christ’s Kingdom
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I’d like to walk in Your bless-ed joy, filling my life to overflowing, no matter what’s transpiring. LORD, I ask You to do Your deeper work in my heart, in my life. Please set apart my life to truly glorify You, being full of the fruits of Your righteousness. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Everyone desires the joy of the LORD, right? Yes, yet only those who are willing to devour His Word – to get it into their hearts and keep it flowing into their hearts, will experience that great joy of the LORD which is our strength! In context, the joy of the LORD is the strength of those who read it, hear it, embrace it, adhere to it, and keep it flowing into their mind and heart daily! (Nehemiah 8:8, 10)
“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly (directly), and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. … 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:8, 10
After they had feasted on God’s Word, the elders of Israel said to them: You are now full of the Word. Now “Go your way”, that is, go home and be blessed to “send portions” of the bounty of the LORD you’ve been filled with today to overflowing. “Freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8) Let your cup run over and bless others! Let your light shine into others, may your cup run over onto others, to bless them with the bountiful blessings of the LORD you have received.
We have to eat the fat and drink the sweet of the Word of God to be filled with the joy of the LORD which is our strength!
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
Nourishing the Body of Christ
“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6
DO people know they can find the rich treasures of God’s Word when they walk into your life, when they visit your social media page? (Colossians 3:16) Will they be “nourished” by the milk and meat of God’s bless-ed Word when they are graced to be in your company?
“There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise.” Proverbs 21:20
Holy Father, we ask You in the name of Jesus to make us happy in Jesus as You’ve forgiven and freed us from our sin and so of all people on Your earth, only Your people can be truly happy in Thee dear LORD. Please bless each of Your beloved saints to be anointed for the death and burial of the self life and raised up in Your blessed resurrection grace and joy. In Jesus’ name let it be dear LORD.

I think also that what is sorely missing in our society is a right of passage for young boys (around 13 years old) to go through, which would then officially bestow him with the title of “man”. Many cultures have this, but sadly, the United States does not. This rite of passage would involve some activity that requires the conquering of fear. This would cause young men to stand tall and appropriate the qualities of manhood you have listed.
