WANT MEN? BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM!

      Over the past few years since the pandemic, there has been a noticeable slide in America’s attitude towards men. It wasn’t entirely unexpected. This also happened after the events of 9-11 more than 20 years ago.

      Why?

      Simple. First, America has turned its back on the biblical definition and examples of manhood. Second, America has been a feminized country since the 1990s—meaning that women have been put AHEAD of men in entertainment, sports,

FEMINISM—THE LEGION SPIRIT

      We are going to be here a while, so you might grab a mug of coffee or tea. These spiritual essays take a while to unpack, and even longer to let the Spirit of the Lord speak through them.

      For the men in the house, whether you be young or old, this commentary will go a long way to warn you about the status of many women in American society—and perhaps—in the entire western hemisphere. It is a demonic weed that Christian men will have to spot, confront, and cr

THE EMPLOYMENT GAME, PART 2

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

--Matthew 10:16 KJV

     In our last thrill-packed adventure, I did not clarify the reason for the title of this series.  Believe it or not, finding, getting, and keeping a job are all a part of ‘The Employment Game’.  The critical thing to remember throughout your work career—to borrow a tag line from the flick Spy Game—"It’s not how you play the game; i

WHEN LAWMAKERS BREW LAWLESSNESS

      A few years back in my home state of Indiana, some Democrat lawmakers decided to ‘move’ to another state (of course, under Democrat control) just so they wouldn’t have to vote on some measures being considered by our legislature.  This tactic has been used by other Democrat lawmakers in other states over the years.  Of course the tactic didn’t end well.  The ‘protests’ soon ended, they came home, the objected-to legislation passed, and all was right in the

FOR THE LOVE OF A DOLLAR, PART 2

      In our last jam-packed adventure, we hit upon what many were willing to do in these last days to secure financial freedom for themselves—many times at the expense of others.  In short, we have a lot of people in our modern era who are quite content to love a dollar more than our institutions, our nation, our homes and our children.

      How may one tell if an individual, or a group are more than happy to chase after that piece of paper?  Simple.  Study the

FOR THE LOVE OF A DOLLAR PART 1

      During my teaching days, one of my colleagues told me an amusing story about how a consultant managed to convince one of the school districts how well students behaved when classical music was played in the classroom.  Thus, the district ‘encourage’ teachers to invest in portable stereo systems and play such music to their classes.  With the mission accomplished, the consultant got their check, and the school district go ‘the latest tool’ to help in the educ

PART ONE

     Interestingly enough, somewhere in the conscience of our modern society, it has been held that it is ‘alright’ for men to be men again.  However—in my point of view—when young men are shown the ways of noble manhood, who is doing the defining?  In our modern era, a combination of social media dictation, feminist confrontation and sodomite alienation through the attempts of the ‘transgender’ sympathizers in education, media, sports and entertainment have made vain attempts to ‘defin

BATTLE OF THE BOX CHECKERS, PART 3

      In the first two parts of this series, we took a brief look behind the window of D.E.I.  The world of the Marxist liberal calls it Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  In my view, it means Destroy Every Institution.  We also told of a D.E.I. officer who ‘let it slip’ who were the REAL targets of this satanic scourge.   She has since apologized for releasing the list (and letting the mask drop) for the whole world to see:

 *White People

*Able-Bodied People

GUESS WHAT?—YOU WILL HAVE ENEMIES!

      I had been stuck for an opening to this column, when I began to think about social media and the thousands of people who are addicted to having their postings being ‘liked’.  I’ve even read about some teens and millennials committing suicide over the lack of likes on their social media pages and postings.  Some of them listed among the dead were—surprise—social media influencers!

      Let an old P-school Ranger clue you in on one key fact of life.  You WI

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 11

      We’ve spent much of a great year together, examining the components of manhood that you—my young brother—will need to become an upright man in a society full of males who are not sure in what direction they are traveling.  Who knows?  There may come a time when you can pass on your knowledge to another young brother, as I have been blessed to pass on what I have learned in life to you.

      I just have a few other things to impart to you, to ad

A ‘QUICK TEST’ FOR THE ‘NEW’ 21^ST CENTURY MALE

      After getting a good look at the men attending the recent ‘Carnival of Destruction’ (otherwise known as the Democratic National Convention) event in Chicago, I MUST say that the ‘ideal male’—at least in the eyes of the lesbians, pro-abortionists, and other ‘alphabet women’ appearing on the liberal leaning networks (which few real Americans bother to watch)—was one who did whatever liberal women wanted them to do.

      Oh yes—lest I forget—the

CAN’T HAVE JOY OR VOTING—WITHOUT JESUS!

      When you kick God and Jesus Christ out of society (as American has continually been trying to do since the 1950s) why are we ‘shocked’ when those who lead the charge to push them out are dismayed at the bitter fruit of their efforts?  When God and Jesus Christ are pushed out, who comes to fill the vacuum? None other than Satan himself.

      The recent gathering of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago had ALL the groups and trappings on displ

WHEN YOUR MENTOR NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT

      Over the years, it has become fashionable for people to ‘cry out’ for mentors to help them—or someone in their group.  During my days as a Probation Officer with my county juvenile court, the parents of clients would occasionally say to me: “Well, my child would do better IF they had a mentor.”  They have something better than a mentor—they’re called ‘parents.’

      Let’s be honest.  Our modern society, often led by ‘the wizards of smart’ and the social

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 8

      In putting this section of the primer together about Mental Health, I’d like to say that it is a subject worth discussing—but the spiritual side of the equation MUST be addressed rather than ‘just’ the medication and clinical side.  I’ll put it simply: guard carefully the loins of your mind; watch carefully what passes your senses—especially your ears and your eyes—for what enters the mind and settles in the heart WILL impact you, for good or fo

CRITICAL CONDITION BY JAMES A. MCMENIS

“When inferiority is allowed to take root in our hearts, it leads to an inferiority complex.  This is poisonous.  It will negatively affect every area of your life and all of your relationships.”

--Critical Condition

By James A. McMenis

      There is good criticism, and there is bad criticism.  Our current world is swimming in bad criticism as men and women, boys and girls—even in the church—do NOT know the true difference between the two.  Pastor James A.

WHERE REAL MEN ARE UNINVITED, PART 2

      Real men get married before they procreate—which is the way God intended for it to be.  This is God’s best for REAL men (and the women who love them).  REAL men under the bonds of Jesus Christ will always shoot for God’s best.  Yes, they can come up short. Yes, they can sin.  However, they are quick to repent, forsake their sin, and get back on the narrow highway of life under God.    

      In our current era, one may be shocked to hear a man referred t

PORNOGRAPHY—THAT CORRUPTING SPIRIT

     In continuing with my series concerning some of the spiritual warfare which men—and women—are facing in these last days before the return of Jesus Christ, an examination of the dangers of pornography is in order.  To sum up this column, let me just say this: pornography corrupts everything it touches, from the inside out.

     I’m not writing a scholarly paper on this subject.  Nor am I writing a paper to expose a lot of the ‘dirty’ things about pornography

DO THEY REALLY WANT YOU—OR ONLY WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM?

      The title of this column has been one of those questions that many of us have had to examine from time to time.  Believe it or not, those who are under the name of Jesus Christ have had to contend with this issue in a variety of places.

      Do people want you or only what you can do for them?

      If you know your KJV Bible, Jesus himself had to contend with this matter after he fed the multitudes.  They followed Him so that they c

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 6

      Young man, what is the condition of your soul?  Do you have ‘good religion’?  No, I am not talking about ‘just going to church’.  I am speaking about having a firm relationship with the one who has bought and paid for the TRUE church with his body and blood—the Lord Jesus Christ.

      Now, at this point, there are those who will cry out that I am meddling in a topic that I should not tread.  Nevertheless, I will tread into this arena, for today,

THE OCCULT--THAT SNARING SPIRIT!

     Let me open our time together with a startling fact: All false religions and cult groups have an underpinning of occult practices, ranging from such ‘simple’ items as ancestor worship, tarot cards, crystal balls and the like; to the more complex and deadly spiritual items as ritual sacrifice and necromancy (summoning of evil spirits associated with the dead).  Further, false teachers that are behind these groups KNOW of the occult practices as either they—or
