Manliness under attack
We are at war. Biblical manliness is under attack.
This assault is from multiple sources, including militant feminism, evolving cultural mores, misguided public policy, the Department of Education, the agenda of activist homosexuals, overly protective mothers, weak fathers and, above all, the breakdown in the American home. Especially harmful is the growing decline and absence of any definitive and beneficial male role model.
The future of Western civilization depends on how we handle this present crisis and thwart this attack on boys and manliness. It will be this next generation of men who must lead with honor and integrity so that America’s glorious past heritage may continue. On the other hand, should this generation of men prove to be weak, effeminate and self-serving, then all they have inherited will be lost.
Nations that are populated largely by immature, immoral, weak-willed and self-indulgent men cannot and do not long endure. These types of men include those who sire and then abandon their children; who cheat on their wives, who lie, steal and covet; who serve no god except money, pleasure and self.
Tragically, this is the direction culture is taking today’s boys. We must make the necessary investment to counter these influences and to build within our boys the lasting qualities of honor, loyalty, duty, integrity, self-discipline, respect for authority, commitment to the truth, a belief in the work ethic and an unshakable love for Christ and the word of God.
