    The vanishing male

    If TV treated women today the same way they teat men, the howl of anger would reach the depth of the kingdom below. The end result of radical feminism has been destruction of masculinity and termination of feminine modesty and decorum. It has created the very thing it railed against at the...

    Advice and Counsel

    Requested. Recently two friends, one long-time (but not close) and one newer friend have told me the same thing. They will not answer any calls from me. If I want to speak to them I am required to leave a message and they will call back. The longer term friend has been doing this for a year...

    The vanishing male

    Men and masculinity have been under constant attack for the past 60 years. What we see today is the end result. Culture is dominated by feminism (or more accurately anti-masculinity) and men have surrendered. We have been hemmed in and socially emasculated, to speak out is sexist, bigoted...

    Is America done?

    I find it difficult to be encouraged and optimistic. God was incredibly patient with the Amorites but his judgement eventually fell.

    Hold Out

    This reminds me of Yeats "The Second Coming" but with a happier ending. As usual, great work!

    Devotionals from Christians of the 18th and 19th Centuries

    Can we tolerate one more Pascal Quote? This one struck a seeker. Since your reason inclines you to believe and yet you cannot believe, your inability to believe comes from your passions. Try, then, not to convince yourself by multiplying the proofs of the evidence of God, but by diminishing...

    Repentance and Forgiveness, real or not?

    I admire your courage in posting these questions here. You raise a tangle of questions but I can provide but one response. Repentance and forgiveness are always available. If not for you then not for me, nor for anyone else either. You apparently feel gender change with or without...

    Devotionals from Christians of the 18th and 19th Centuries

    Wow, that is a great connection. I absolutely agree. Pascal said it in a few words and Edwards painted it with graphic reality.

    Devotionals from Christians of the 18th and 19th Centuries

    You are correct, my Pascal quote is not a devotional. I thought about that when I posted it. However, his description of man being, "...an chaos suspended over an abyss" causes me to pause and ponder. I think we both appreciate the rare genius of Pascal.

    Devotionals from Christians of the 18th and 19th Centuries

    What a novelty (is man), what a portent, what a chaos, what a mass of contradictions, what a prodigy! Judge of all things. A ridiculous earthworm who is nonetheless the repository of truth. A sink of contradiction and error. The glory and the scum of the world. A chaos suspended over an...

    Very nice work. I think there is a part of all of us that just wants to go home. C. S. Lewis makes the point that when we feel like we don't belong here, that is proof that we do belong somewhere else. You make the same point beautifully, perhaps a bit sadly.
