A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 2

      Show me a young man who has not learned how to show humility in victory and grace in defeat through athletic competition, and I will show you a young man who has a hole in his character because he has not experienced TRUE victory OR defeat at a personal level.       

      Two of the side effects of being successful are learning how to deal with failures and setbacks.  Believe me, my young brothers, they WILL come—oftentimes at a point in your li

BATTLE OF THE BOX CHECKERS, PART 2

      A published story out of the Midwest reportedly had the following exchange.  The Black man told an Illegal Alien: “Get out of the country”.  The Illegal Alien replied: “Quit being so lazy.”  In the middle of this exchange, the Illegal Alien was in the wrong.  IF the Illegal Alien came to the country legally, he would not be in the wrong.  Further, IF the Illegal Alien expended the same energy in HIS country as he expended to cross our borders illegally, H

THE TOXIC LIES AND DECEPTIONS AGAINST MANHOOD—PART 1

     Let me throw in a few of the toxic lies against manhood that the mainstream mess and social media, along with Madison Avenue and American “W.O.K.E” Corporations are trying to throw into the mainstream from their satanic bag of tricks:

     LIE:  A man can get pregnant.  TRUTH:  NO!

     LIE:  A man can have a menstrual period.  TRUTH: NO!

     LIE:  A man can ‘reimagine’ himself into a woman.  TRUTH:  NO!

     But wait, there are MORE ‘toxic’

TWO FRONT CHECKBOOK WAR IN THE MOTHERLAND

      It had been reported years ago that the late Idi Amin Dada Oumee, leader of Uganda, was a major opponent to having homosexuality starting—or spreading—in his nation.  Currently, there are MORE than a few modern African leaders who have also lined up against the ‘international alphabet mafia’ trying to establish a beachhead in the Motherland.  More on this in a few lines.

      You may not have heard about this, but there is a two front economic war

LET HIM RISE!

     Contrary to popular opinion, it is NOT the times that defines a man; it is a man who defines the times!  In other words, a real man—especially a real Christian man—does not bow his knee to the whims of society when it comes to righteousness, beliefs, family, and the Word of God.  A true man under the power of God has the hidden strength to make the times bow to him because he can see the landscape and the type of traps that are laid out to cripple and possibly kill him.

THE ROOM RENTERS

     Someone with more wisdom than I stated the matter plainly: “When immorality floods the land collectively, it is because EACH of us individually have tolerated the SAME immorality in their OWN lives.”

     Please allow me to get KJV biblical for a moment.  Two Old Testament men: Nehemiah (who helped to rebuild Jerusalem) and Daniel (one of the more notable of the Old Testament major prophets) sought God in prayer and did something rather unusual for their day.  They EACH not

WHEN WOMEN GO ASTRAY

     As one of my favorite illustrations goes, there were four women who died on the same day.  They were a housewife, a college professor, a prostitute and the CEO of a large corporation.  The four women arrived at the gates of Heaven and were met by St. Peter.  “We’ve got a special today, ladies.  You get to spend three days in Heaven and three days in Hell.  On the seventh day, you get to choose your eternal destination.”  He spoke.

     For three days, the women got to t

     *Would you like to know one of the reasons behind the demise of “Promise Keepers”?  Well, in my humble opinion, the organization went down the tubes when it started to try to ‘please’ the women in our society. 

     *Would you like to know why more and more viewers are ‘turning off’ the Olympics, when they cycle around every four years?  Because those power brokers often shift their focus away from the broad, competitive spectrum and narrowcast to the women of society.

     First, let me thank the publications, publishers, editors and—most importantly—the readers of “The Manhood Line” over these many years.  It has been a joy to put this column out (the flagship column for Barnstorm Communications International, by the way).  God has blessed this column to go from my home city of Indianapolis, Indiana around the world and back.  It has visited a variety of HBCUs and other college campuses. It has hit Tokyo, Japan.  It sipped tea in Rome, Italy.  It made its s
