The Wussification of Christianity

[FR7 Baptist]

"does this outfit make my butt look big?" are eight feminine words.

Any words in these colors are feminine.

Did you cry while reading this sentence? Then it was a feminine one.

And most of....OW!!! Scarlett, put that rolling pin down!!

Scarlett is the kind of woman you DO NOT mess with. She even threatened me with a rolling pin once.

 

[FR7 Baptist]

Words that characterize women. The song Onward Christian Soldiers would be the opposite of a feminine song.

Wouldn't you want both kinds of songs since there are men and women in church?

Not if you have feminine men. In every church I have pastored were men who were leaders but not leading. They were more like women than men. It was rather interesting what their wives said sometimes. I have seen wives who tell their husbands what to do until it is time to make decision they do not want to make. I have never seen that with men who lead in their homes and are not afraid to make decisions and say, "No." I am finding fewer and fewer men who are willing to step out in faith without getting paralyzed by thoughts of security and philosophical analysis of a plan they must have in place.

Today I spoke with a man who just retired from the grocery store business and he told me that he has never seen a grocery store manager who was always analyzing that was ever successful. Walking in faith like Abraham did requires risk and trusting God as you go. I hear so many men talk about how they need retirement benefits, insurance and the ability to buy a home. How many of those THINGS are in heaven? They have already counted the cost of following Jesus and have not wanted to pay the price. They have not given everything to God yet.

Men leading provide challenge, risk, and growth. Women provide stability and warmth. Feminine acting men provide counter-Christianity.

These are just opinions on your part.....Ive seen women who could rip your head off & blah, Blah, blah down your neck. Bunch of rubbish. Look at Scripture Proverbs 31:10-31 Wife of Noble Character. Now there is a woman!

Regarding effeminate men....have you seen this commercial? It sums up my opinion of how to deal with them.

So what do you all think... Has American Christianity became a namby-pamby, wussified version of the truth?

The depravity of man is as much a part of the Gospel as the Love of God!

OK, this has the potential to trespass into the realm of the silly.

Since when was providing for the future needs of my family, particularly if and when I'm gone--part of my role as a provider (there's a man-label for ya)...effiminate?
