A perspective on faith, life, culture & entertainment
It’s Friday, and my weird sense of humor is surfacing. Another church planter who’s blog I read posted this on his blog and I almost hurt myself laughing.
WARNING - This is a beer commercial and it is guy humor. I’m not promoting the product, but I am promoting the laughter associated with it.
Today we continue on our journey of understanding manhood and it’s role as husband / provider / leader. These are critical roles as the family unit us disintegrating all around us. When men do not live out this function of their manhood, their masculinity, they set in motion a ripple effect that can [...]
For those of you who may have come to the blog yesterday looking for this installment on manhood, I apologize. Yesterday’s schedule didn’t allow me get this posted. But this morning, I will begin looking at the familial role of a man. Once again, I will lean on material from Stu Weber’s “The [...]
Today I will conclude my thoughts on manhood and God. Tomorrow we will take on a different angle of manhood (man as husband/provider), but make sure that you are fully grasping this aspect first. I have virtually no building skills, I typically supply the muscle and grunt work. I move stuff around [...]
If you’ve been tracking this series on Manhood, I am taking a break from it until Monday of next week. The next few days will be highly intensive for me as I complete the preparations for the Easter service. As such, I want to turn my attention on the blog to thoughts of [...]
Men have been relegated to some thing less than masculine. As C.S. Lewis stated so powerfully in The Abolition of Man, modernists “castrate, and bid the geldings be fruitful.”It is impossible.
It is a tragedy. And our culture is in trouble. When men are not men, a civilization falls. When men let their masculinity drift [...]
Yesterday we launched out into the deep waters of exploring man/manhood in relation to God. The water is deep because this is foundational stuff to understanding the breakdowns in men and families and culture. This is the starting point. So let’s push forward into this journey. Please remember that these are [...]
I spent a few days last week setting the background for the need to have this discussion. Today I begin to turn toward some specific issues, statements, ideas and questions. As a church, The Grove has sought to reclaim a biblical perspective on manhood and what that means in the church, the family, [...]
For two days now, I’ve been laying some background for the situation that men and manhood find themselves in today. I’d like to close out this week with an excerpt from a blog over at The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. In a post titled “How to Play the Man”, Jeff Robinson [...]
Real men don’t cry! Real men are in touch with their feelings! Real men are tough! Real men are tender! Holy cow…talk about an identity crisis. Men have been receiving conflicting messages about manhood for years now. As a result, most men don’t even know who they are anymore. [...]
This blog represents my personal perspectives on life, faith, culture and entertainment. I am keenly aware that I represent Jesus Christ first, and the church I serve second. However, I ask the reader to bear in mind that this blog represents my personal thoughts and opinions. Give me the grace and latitude to be my own person here (Lord knows I need it) :-) .
