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

THANK YOU, FATHER!

      I wanted to extend a great big thank you to my own Father, who left this earth when I was in my early twenties.  He may not have had the opportunity to see his oldest son graduate from college (the first in the family to do so, back in the seventies) but the lessons that he instilled in me made it possible for me to cross that academic line—and do it DEBT FREE.  Some of the lessons he taught me are worth sharing and passing on to the next generation of fathers out there

ERASED: FATHERS—AND SONS

      One does not have to be a ‘rocket scientist’ to notice that the media narrative—even in our cartoons—contains a major league ‘erasure’ of father and son relationships.  This ‘erasure creep’ has been going on since the 1990s.  We’ve been treated to more ‘ink’ about the ‘woes’ of the WNBA, Women’s Soccer and female college athletics that the social engineers should be choking on the high levels of estrogen in the air.  Then, we have noticed the rise of strong female

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,

WHERE REAL MEN ARE UNINVITED, PART 1

      Let’s do a few mental warm-ups with my definitions of a few well-known words.  First, there is the word ‘feminist’.  My definition is: “A woman who wants to exercise all of her rights, without paying attention to the responsibilities that come with them.”  ‘Feminism’ is: “That mindset which starts out seeking empowerment but ending up with frustration and disappointment.”  Then there is the word ‘feminized’: “A home, institution or country where the wom

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

THE ‘ROUND IT UP’ RECESSION?

      I stopped by one of my favorite local fast food restaurants a few weeks back, put in my order and made my way to the pay window.  The employee on the window asked me if I would like to ‘round up’ the price of my purchase to the next highest dollar to ‘help out’ the favorite charity of their fast-food chain.

      I chuckled and said: “Only IF the money goes to the employees.”

      Well, the crew on duty had a good laugh.  I got my correct change, and my order, a
