1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV) — Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men,
be strong.
NOTE: I suppose the
above statement would fall under the category of "toxic masculinity."
The problem is that it is not toxic and it is what our world needs today. It is
impossible to make this argument in today's society as it will be interpreted
as misogyny. And yet it is quite the opposite. It is a love for women and a
desire for them to experience the life God planned for them, with a loving
husband who protects and nourishes them. Children should be a joy, not a
burden. Everything is so far from God's original intention. But whatever
culture says, Christian men can stand firm and be strong. We can because we are
men. And we will not shrink back at this important point in history.
PRAYER: Father, give
me the strength to follow through. I do want to be strong. I do want to stand
up to what is right. I do want to say what needs to be said and not play the
spiritually correct song. Father, have mercy on us. Have mercy on my employer.
Have mercy on my country. Have mercy on this world. We running into a pit at
full steam, all the time mistakenly thinking that are eyes are wide open. We
are so blinded and so foolish. Have mercy.
