From the desk of John Eldredge, With An “Amen!” From Yours Truly

Spread the love

“Where are all the real men?” is regular fare for talk shows and new books. You asked them to be women, I want to say. The result is gender confusion never experienced at such a wide level in the history of the world.

How can a man know he is one when his highest aim is minding his manners?

-John Eldredge, Wild At Heart, p. 7.-

I am a fairly sensitive and empathic soul. And yet, the westward expansion of this Antichrist spirit that wants to destroy women with misogyny also wants to destroy men with misandry.

Whether or not we realize it, and we may only deeply realize it when we understand the war has pitted men and women against one another’s inherent dignity, the critters (namely the Mesmerizing Spirit and the Spirit of Antichrist) have pitted male and female against one another.

They have made us out to be a laughingstock, and our responsibility is to speak truth to power that is being used to abuse and desensitize male and female to affection for and defending of one another.

We as a culture are in need of recovered masculine and feminine souls. Souls that have war chops and bedside manner.

Souls that love deeply and are willing to risk one for another.

Gang, our highest aspiration as men is not to be swell guys or subservient women.

It is to mirror image our dangerous and beautiful King who will not extinguish a smouldering wick, but rather will pour gas on it.

Our responsibility is to handle each other well, and to equip and release.

Sometimes a person’s soul is like a King case, and sometimes a person’s soul is like a Blessed Furnace.

Can we adapt to both, as the season demands?

Or shall we continue along this path of declawing the lions?
