A Time to Weep, A Time to Laugh
Have you ever seen or heard something that made you laugh and cry at the same time? The following article was forwarded to me today and it evoked just that kind of response.
On one hand, I can truly relate to the author's frustration...and was glad to hear someone say it. I laughed as I reminisced about the way that life "used to be" as boys were truly allowed to be boys.
On the other hand, the consequences of this truth is enough to make you want to weep for the loss of life and the striping of manhood which many young boys suffer. I have seen firsthand the way society, schools, and the media attempts to emasculate boys. Young boys are being molded into some version of a "Ken doll", and I for one am fed up with it.
A true American horror story is unfolding in many homes across the country as our young people are being brainwashed into believing that "gender" is neutral.
A young woman who stayed with us this summer recounted how one of her professors taught the class that a state of androgyny is the perfect prototype for mankind's existence. This is what the children are being indoctrinated with as early as elementary school.
''Transgender' model Isis King - born as Darrell Walls - whose sex change operation was aided by Tyra Banks. |
Consider the insanity of it all. Individuals who undergo a sex change do not become another sex just because they have undergone a surgical operation. Such persons must continue to use prescription hormones every day of their lives in order to try & counteract the continuing natural biology of their own bodies. No amount of body mutilation or drug ingestion can change that.
Look, if I have to continually die my hair in order to maintain an appearance that my hair is blond, then guess what: I am not really a blond. Only one who is blind and/or deceived could believe otherwise. Yet the most 'educated, intellectual, and learned persons' accept that such is normal...and even ideal.
The college would not have to deprive this young man of an education just because he wants to live as a woman. Yet common sense would dictate that the school place this young man in a room of his own. However, the college doesn't do so because they have an agenda to pursue. It is more important to force this perverse ideology on the students than it is to use common sense; and the one who has objections to the situation is the one made out to be "strange".
In the beginning, God created man and woman; male and female created He them. Both male and female reflect the nature of a holy God...by design. There are attributes which are found naturally in men and women precisely because God has certain functions/roles for each to fulfill, according to His purposes. Persons experiencing "gender confusion" are not to be mocked; they are simply the product of a sinful world...as are we all. And like all, they are in need of supernatural deliverance from an Almighty God who alone is able to break every curse and give to us a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7). If it is only "in Christ" that we get a sound mind, then that should tell us that outside of Christ we should expect to see nothing more than mere insanity.
At a time when the church should be girded for war, most are more concerned with fitting into this present, evil world; and then we want to wonder what is "wrong with the church". Thank God that He brings forth the spirit of Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5).
Now the only question is, "Where are the Elijahs and who has been prepared to stand with them?"
THEY ARE AFRAID OF REAL MEN
By Coach Dave Daubenmire

I have a lot to say, but this is not the time to say it. I’ll save the details for another day. Stop reading now if you think Jesus was a sissy.
This is a time to vent...to air it out...to let some steam off ..to release the pressure valve.
Sometimes I feel like my head is about to explode. This is one of those times.
Americans have become so sissified. Everyone is afraid to hurt somebody’s feelings. It is the ‘wussification’ of the culture run amuck. Real men scare people.
I grew up with straight-talkers as my role models. John Wayne-types were the manly examples that the entertainment industry pumped into our homes. I have fond memories of sitting around the black and white Philco with my parents as the family watched real men gallop into our living room. Roy Rogers, Clint Eastwood, Paladin, Hoss Cartwright, The Lone Ranger, and their ilk left a masculine odor in my nostrils each night as I sawed logs in the bed I shared with my older brother.
The next morning we hit the yard running playing “Cowboys and Indians”, scalping redskins by morning, turning into Vic Morrow’s “Combat” and pretending to kill the Krauts by the afternoon. We lived out in the day what we watched on TV in the evening.
Pardon me for being so politically incorrect, but killing Krauts and scalping Injuns was a wonderful life for a young man to live. Today you can’t even use the name Indian. At least I wasn’t forced to play with Ken dolls and dance with Barney. The only Barney I knew was the lovable weenie on Andy Griffith. He was an endearing character because even my young eyes could see that he was a sissy-man who wished he was a real man. Somehow, I wanted to help him grow some hair on his chest.
But look at what they have on TV today? It is a steady stream of sissy-boys with moussed and frosted hair being offered to our impressionable young boys as “American Idols.” Instead of Gunsmoke and Matt Dillon we get “Dancing With The Stars” and Chaz Bono. Is it any wonder we have gender-confusion in America?
I am just going to say it. We have allowed the young men in this nation to be emasculated by women. No offense to women...I love them. I married one. I have two daughters and a granddaughter. They are the joy of my life.
But they are women. They think like women, they act like women. They like cooking...and shopping...and “Cake Boss” on TV. The get emotional. They cry easily. They hold grudges...they wear lace...and makeup.
But, I don’t want my son acting like them. I want him to kill bugs, and shoot varmints, and tell men off. I want him to open doors for women, to protect and defend his sisters, to learn to handle a gun in order to protect his family. Our children understand that the Father is the head of the house and that his job is to guide, guard and govern those God has entrusted to him.
Is that what they are teaching in your child’s school? Is that what they are teaching in your church? Is that what the young people are learning in your church’s youth group? Does your church have a “Gun Free Zone” sign on the door? Probably put there by a woman...or a pastor...or a woman pastor.
Or are they teaching the boys to act like girls? Just look around. The men don’t even look like men anymore. Fonzie would have beat them up.
Look at your child’s elementary school. How many men do you see working with those kids? My grandpa taught me how to spit. If a boy does that on the playground today he probably gets medicated. A woman can’t teach a boy how to be a boy. Only a man can do that. Do you want your son to be taught to ”be nice”...or to “be a man?”
Remember the Daniel Boone theme song from the weekly television show?
“Daniel Boone was a man, yes a big man. With an eye like an eagle and as tall as a mountain was he.
Daniel Boone was a man. He was brave he was fearless and as tough as a mighty oak tree.
From the coonskin cap on the top of old Dan to the heel of his rawhide shoes. The rippinist, roarinist, fightinist man the frontier ever knew. Daniel Boone was a man. Yes a big man. And he fought for America to make all American’s free.”
Daniel Boone and his cohort Davy Crockett have been replaced by Simon Cowell and Charlie Sheen.
I had a meeting today that sent me over the top. I spoke like a man. I called a spade a spade. I called sin, sin. I gave them a double-barrel approach to the Truth. They deserved a tongue lashing and they got it.
Needless to say, it was not well received. I was too “harsh”, “too judgmental”, “to direct”, “too self-assured”. I was just too much for the bossy women and the wimpy men they work with.
America, both men and women, no longer want to be spoken to by a man. They are afraid of men, real men. Instead of Davy Crockett they want Dr. Drew.
Ok boys. It is time to get your butt off of the couch and engage your son. Everywhere he goes he is being told how to behave by those who have no idea what it means to be a man. Don’t come crying to me when he comes home wearing skin tight jeans, moussed hair, earrings and a collar around his neck. Get him off the computer and take him fishing. Teach him to fire a gun and skin a rabbit. Watch the movie “Braveheart” with him. Teach him to be a man.
If you don’t teach him now, some 23 year old recent college graduate who minored in Women’s Studies at the University will.
I read somewhere that one of the first things Muslim children are taught in some of their schools around the Middle East is how to kill and dissect young animals. It teaches them to get over their natural revulsion to blood.
In America we are teaching our young boys how to get in touch with their feelings, how to recycle paper, and how to speak without offending.
We live in a dangerous world. I wonder if Putin, Ahmadinejad, and the Red Chinese fear the sissy-man President that we have? Are they afraid of Hillary...and Palin...and Bachmann...and the various members of The She Party?
The day is coming, you mark my word, when our only hope will lie in the hands of those God-fearing, Bible-believing, Truth-speaking, man’s men that the American culture is trying so hard to extinguish.
“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” -Acts 13
The culture is feeding our young men tolerance. What they need more than anything is testosterone. Testosterone is a good thing.
The righteous are as bold as lions...
I can really identify with this post and the article by the coach. I recently took on a job in corporate American only to be fired after a 30 day trial period for "offensive and harsh comments". I was like, "Are you serious?" This is how it is now -- it's that bad. I was merely speaking the truth (no sugar-coating), boldly as a natural man should, with my deep voice an all, and was penalized for it. I count it an honor to be known as a man and thank God for his Spirit in me that maintains my masculinity. Praise God. And the Lord provides, so I'm not tripping about the job loss either.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I also believe there has been a feminization of Jesus also; there is this new "sissy" Jesus that has emerged(soft,non offensive, holding sheep, wearing long, feminine hair; is that image Mary or Jesus?!!). Jesus' manhood has been stripped. We hear very little about his true, manly character, yet His masculinity shines all throughout the scriptures: 1.his boldness (choosing gethsamene, a place where he knew others would suspect him to be; he was not hiding from Judas. Also, He preached openly in temples and synagogues, hiding nothing, offending many), 2.his servant style leadership (never domineering or forceful; yet not passive either)3.His zeal (grabbing whips, turning tables over in the temple).
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I am also grieved by what I see happening to our young girls; seems like the enemy has big plans for girls and women too. There seems to be an agenda to help them become 1.)a whore 2.)a diva 3.)shallow. 4.)mindless I've noticed if she is a critical thinker, especially as a woman, many will misjudge her, labeling her as "too strong" or "intimidating" (perhaps the result of some underlying, sexist notion that women should not think???)And I have seen traces of this attempt to keep women "mindless" even in the church: many women's ministries are shallow too; they don't adequately prepare women to be deep thinkers or to be strong in their theology.
Spiritual issues aside- the wussification of men bothers me as a woman! Men should be tough. I don't need a guy who acts like a woman- I already have *me* if I need someone to sew or something. But I don't want to smash my own cockroaches and shoot my own burglars! Women- in general- don't *really* want wussy men. That's why action movies, etc. are still popular- deep down inside, people know that men should be manly.
ReplyDeleteim a tg woman and i can skin rabbits and sail my yacht with the best of them does that make me a man no. girls have proven they can do all the supposedly manly things just as well as guys. guys should realise that many women want a strong mysterious dominant man who will protect and cherish them
ReplyDeletewomen need to earn that submission is an act of will and the heart and allows men to me the men they want them to be.
im involved in the bdsm subculture and used to be in a church.
ive found better examples of healthy relationships there than in the church because the guys are domminant and the girls are submissive as an act of love and believe it or not ... it works! husbands love your wives and wives submit to your husbands seems to be forgotten thse days. why else is fifty shades of gray so popular?
because its part of our basic needs as humans.
on the ts side people are born intersex and they are one / both neither gender. due to chromosomal abnormalities. for them to be in between genders isnt sinfull as they were born like it.
research is showing that people who are fem to male have demonstrably male brain stuctures. m to f people have brains that look like they are in between. no wonder we dont feel male! is it sinfull for me to change the body that feels wrongbecause i am female and have a brain that isnt normal? i feel that ignorance of both scripture and medicine can lead the church to get on the wrong side of the arguement as it has done in the past over the earth being flat and other issues.
looking outside of your own community as i have done has confirmed some of my ideas as being universal truth and led me to question many of my preconceptions.
jesus was never domineering,coercive, petty minded, manipulative or cruel and was a living demonstration of the new covanant and shows a contrast with the law of the ot
i worry that the church in the usa built on a foundation of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the west in a ot style ethnic cleansing tends to live in the old testament. at least this is how it looks for me in the uk many of the so called role models quotesd were actually men with feet of clay womanising , violent and drunk. even king david was little better. what god saw was his heart, and despite his problems was used greatly. god often uses the weak to shame the proud.
as for that poor girl in the dorm, in the uk discrimination against her would be illegal, and a very good thing too.
rant over!
i meant the above as constructive comment, and food for thought.
all the best

Hi P,
DeleteAs long as you are engaged in and in agreement with sexual perversion, then you will never be able to perceive the truths of Scripture or God. What you describe are not universal truths, but lies of the enemy.
If you desire to be free from demonic oppressions, confusion, and chaos so that you can truly be who God designed you to be, then you need to repent. Until you decide to place God's truths above the lusts of your flesh, then you will remain feeling "wrong".
You have offered "food for thought", but it is far from constructive...unless you consider poison to be constructive. There is a God who created you, designed you, died for you, and has a marvelous plan for your life, but you must acknowledge the sin you are in, repent from it, and turn to Jesus Christ. You know that what you have posted here is nonsense. The only question now is will you change or will you continue to walk deliberately into a delusion?
