Month: November 2020

Generally speaking, the more outwardly attractive a woman is the less God will be on her mind.

That’s why when you look at the world of supermodels, actresses, and beauty pageant winners God is not really in the mix. Let me tell you why.

So when I first stated my Instagram account, immediately in the “Explore” section, which is kinda like a section where they recommend profiles you can follow, they were all women. More specifically, women who wore clothes that didn’t cover everything. It wasn’t porn, but let’s just say, the clothes was meant to point to the body.

Keep in mind this was before I “followed” anyone. Somehow Instagram knew that I was male so they guessed that they should show what males might enjoy. And these women had something like 12,347 likes for a single photo. I was just blown away.

There’s a message, a not too subliminal one, that’s tell young ladies that if they want to be “somebody” on Instagram they need to show skin. So there’s pressure on them to just copy what they see.

Here’s the problem. It makes women think of themselves as sex objects. And they will then do whatever it takes to be desired by men. Be it the hair, make-up, clothes, etc. Now, I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with looking attractive. But when you obsess over it to the point where it’s tied into your self-worth, now that’s where it’s problematic.

Attractive women know that, generally speaking, they have their choice in men. There’s probably 15-20 interested dudes at any time. So then they decide on who’s their man based on what the man has to offer, be it money, opportunity, status, etc. What suffers is the call of God on their lives. When you can have any guy and the perks that come with it, who needs God? You can have any of the world’s stuff you want.

That’s why women who are 100% sold out to God are not going to be the supermodels with the bikini bodies. Nope.

That’s why it’s important for women to not let their beauty give them a big head. If God made you physically attractive, awesome. Just don’t be full of yourself.

Being a pretty woman can be so dangerous to your soul. All this to say… if you took care of what’s on the inside as much as what’s on the outside…. well, then you’ll be just fine.

1 Peter 3:3-4:

“Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—  rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”

There is a crisis in our nation, in our world. There are very, very few real men (it’s equally true for women, but I digress).

I can only speak of this generation of men. I heard that in the early part of the 20th century, men knew that if they wanted sex they would have to be responsible for his woman and the children that come. He couldn’t just have sex with a different woman every night. Women wouldn’t allow themselves to be played like that. But with contraceptives, day after pills, birth control, and abortion, a way was paved for men to have all the sex they wanted and none of the ensuing responsibility. This essentially has made men very weak, a shadow of who he was created to be.

If you think about it most problems in society would instantly disappear if men were men. For instance, sex trafficking would disappear because virtually all the customers are men. Pornography would largely disappear because most users are men. Divorce rates would be cut dramatically because men would trade in their older-looking wives for younger ones.  There would be no more affairs. If men were faithful women would not have any men to have affairs with. Families would be more intact as a result. Kids would not be as messed up.

Speaking of kids who are messed up I have a friend in Singapore. She’s a nice girl and you wouldn’t be able to tell this about her unless she told you, but because her parents divorced when she was 6, she always had a fear til this very day of her future husband divorcing her, which pretty much sabotages every potential opposite sex relationship she has and will have (unless she breaks that cycle). She has a general distrust of men.

And let’s talk about men who verbally and/or physically assault their wives/girlfriends. Or men who are so controlling and insecure they need to know the whereabouts of their women all the time.

Speaking of which, this reminds me of a college friend of mine who had such a control freak boyfriend, who she was literally scared of breaking up with because he might hurt her. So sad.

And of course, when it comes to being a toxic person, I hate to admit it, but my late father comes to mind. He berated my mother and singlehandedly destroyed my mom’s social life (He would be so rude to my mom’s friends that none of them wanted to come over to have even a conversation).

I can go on and on. These are not men. These are bullies. These are emasculated men.

Real men do the right thing. They protect. They provide. They defend the truth. They do the dirty work.

Real men put God first. Talk is cheap. Do it.

Today is the eve of perhaps one of the last elections of American history.

I can’t help, but take some time to reflect on the gravity of this moment. We have a tremendous crisis in our country. People have been blinded by darkness.

2 Corinthians 4:4 says:

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

This cannot be more evident than what we’ve seen the last four years. The media, basically a tool of unrighteousness, has been exposed to the core of their lying ways yet there are still millions of Americans who believe whatever they see on TV. So obviously, they are anti-Trump.

Now, I’m not saying that if you are a believer of Christ that you need to vote for Trump. There may be 3rd party candidates that are pretty awesome, but let’s be realistic for a moment here. Either a Democrat or a Republican will win tomorrow. And between the two, you really don’t have a choice. You can’t be Christian and vote Democrat.

You have people who literally have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) where they flip out and go mad at the mention of Trump or at the sight of red hats that mention something like “Make America Great Again”. They’re triggered as if they have some psychological illness. I have never seen anything like this before.

In this mix are believers. Their minds are blinded, too. Perhaps not completely as they can see the beauty of Christ, but they are blinded in that they cannot separate truth from falsehood in the world around them.

I don’t claim to be know the truth about everything, but the issues that I am aware of I know something sinister is behind it. This is an enviable position because I’m going to be hard to fool. But this is not because I’m smart. It’s because I know I’m not smart. I’m leveraging the expertise and insights of others around me. The absolute worse position one can be in is to think you’re smart, but you’re not. Such a person will not be open to corrective input and will always remain in the dark.
