Men’s Ministry Ideas

Author Camille Paglia, a self-described “notorious Amazon feminist,” recently said about today’s gender-bending days “What you’re seeing is how a civilization commits suicide” (referring to the demonization of men by aggressive feminism).   She added that today’s generation has “no models of manhood.”  It appears that the emotional lava flowing out of the volcanic reaction to broken

male culture in the 60s is turning from bright orange to a hardened and desolate landscape of ash.  The gender scenery is shifting again.

Our generation has seen monumental shifts in the roles men and women play. Television shows like “Father Know Best” exemplified a seemingly simpler era when men brought home the bacon for the women to fry it up in a pan. Along the way, a rise in feminism gave women opportunity, while seriously jeopardizing their feminine soul with illusions that they could be better men than actual men. The collateral damage of this gender-bending experiment was that the nation’s family unit has suffered, millions of children being raised without dads, men in retreat, and a titanic void of positive male role models. 

When Natalie Grant, an acclaimed Christian recording artist, walked out during the 2014 Grammy Award’s night last month, she was making a loud statement without saying a word. Rather than revel in the moment of her two nominations, she stood up and left the ceremony, which featured a soft core porn performance by a very married, young mother named Beyonce Knowles.  It was so sexually aggressive that Jamie Foxx (the presenter who followed her performance) felt compelled to apologize to her husband who was sitting in the front row.  He confessed to Jay-Z and the world-wide audience of those watching that he was taken mentally and sexually to places he knew he ought not to have gone as a result of the visual display put forward by the man’s wife. A mass same sex wedding followed officiated by Queen Latifah, Madonna, and Macklemore which functionally erased 5,000 years of how marriage has been defined and cast aside the red letters (Jesus’ own words) of the New Testament on the subject.
