Restoring Masculinity: The Balance of the Wise
For the past 6,000 years, since the sin of Adam and Eve, we have lived in a fallen world.
I told a worship leader recently she would be wise to never blame God for bad stuff that happens in life. Blame it on a fallen world and always trust in the perfectly good character of God.
Part of our fallenness stems from life out of balance. We swing pendulums this way and that, being too lenient or being too firm, too hot or cold, or thinking norms now are the way things always were (they’re not).
One such area of imbalance today is the roles/expressions of masculinity and femininity. This is a very recent phenomenon.
Here are some thoughts on restoring masculinity—even in worship.
Thanking God for John MacArthur and Where I Disagree With Him
Well-known California pastor John MacArthur passed away July 14, 2025, at the age of 86. Many considered him the most influential American Christian leader since Billy Graham.
I never met MacArthur, but know scores of pastors who studied under him, greatly valued his expository sermons, and read his many books.
This week a prayer leader friend in Washington, D.C. sent me an audio sermon by MacArthur saying she wanted my “careful review and keen discernment on the subject matter.”
I listened to it.
I thank God for John MacArthur’s life and legacy. But I disagree with him in two areas.
